KWIK-COUPLERS™

KWIK-COUPLER™ - SERVICES HOSE SHUT-OFF

The Kwik-Coupler™ 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 push-pull operation which is faster, easier and positive sealing at all times. Valve cores are depressed automatically without adjustments or loss of refrigerant. Disconnecting is also accomplished without 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, thereby eliminating waste and hazardous high pressure discharge and atmospheric damage.

FEATURES
• Automatic full depression of core valves without adjustment,
  regardless of core position.
• Coupler halves separately connect to access fitting and hose
  end, then easy push/pull operation automatically opens or
  closes system without loss of refrigerant.
• Automatic shut-off of hose ends permits discharging high side
  hose through manifold into low side.
• Eliminates hazardous discharge of refrigerant and oil from
  system when disconnecting hose.
• Simplifies operation of charging critical amount of refrigerant
  into small systems.
• Prevents finger burn when disconnecting - especially servicing
  heat pumps in cold weather.
• Core depressors in hose ends no longer necessary - speeds
  servicing of systems with hand valves.
