KWIK-COUPLER HOSE SHUT-OFF ADAPTERS
The Kwik-Coupler™ adapter set is intended for use with refrigeration and air-conditioning service hoses when connecting to core valve-type access fittings. Conventional threaded connecting is converted to a push-pull operation, which is faster, easier, and more positive for sealing at all times. Valve cores are depressed automatically without adjustments or loss of refrigerant. Disconnecting is also accomplished without the loss of refrigerant.
An automatic shut-off valve retains refrigerant pressure in a disconnected hose. This feature permits transferring high-side hose refrigerant through the service manifold into the low side, eliminating waste, hazardous high-pressure discharge, and atmospheric damage.
Key Features
- Automatic full depression of core valves without adjustment, regardless of core position.
- Coupler halves separately connect to the access fitting and hose end,
- then easy push/pull operation automatically opens or closes the system without loss of refrigerant.
- Automatic shut-off of hose ends permits discharging of high-side hose through the manifold into the low side.
- Eliminates hazardous discharge of refrigerant and oil from the system when disconnecting the hose.
- Simplifies the operation of charging a critical amount of refrigerant into small systems.
- Prevents finger burn when disconnecting, especially when servicing heat pumps in cold weather.
- Core depressors in hose ends are no longer necessary - speeds servicing systems with hand valves.
