KWIK-COUPLER™
- SERVICES HOSE SHUT-OFF
.gif)
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.
