Red Cap 90° Angled Refrigerant Charging Control Valve (High Pressure, 5/16" Female)

Designed to reliably prevent gas losses when removing hoses from the service valve while working on the high pressure (discharge) line of air conditioning and refrigeration systems, as well as cold burns caused by high-pressure refrigerant contacting the hands, the 90° Angled Refrigerant Charging Control Valve offers the most reliable solution for professionals in the field. Its 90-degree elbow design provides excellent maneuverability in tight spaces, and thanks to the converter adapter included in the box, you can adapt to different hose connections with a single product.

Safe High Pressure Control with Red Color Coding

In line with the universal standards of the refrigeration industry (manifold colors), this valve is designed with a red aluminum cap and is visually distinguished for use only on the high pressure side of the system. This prevents it from being mixed up with the low pressure (blue) valves in your tool bag and lets you work quickly, safely and without errors in the field.

5/16" Female Inlet and Smart Adapter Design

To fit directly onto the service valves of appliances using new-generation refrigerants, especially R410a and R32, the valve's female end is made in the standard 5/16" size. The male outlet on the main body where the hose attaches is 1/4" in size. Thanks to the converter adapter included in the package, you can convert your connection sizes in seconds as needed (for example, to a 5/16" male outlet) and work smoothly with any manifold hose.

Key Technical Specifications and Equipment

The technical details of this functional valve, made of heavy-duty brass to withstand harsh site conditions and high pressure, are as follows:

• Application: High Pressure line of refrigeration systems.
• Material: Heavy-duty brass body resistant to corrosion and very high pressure.
• Connection Sizes: The female end connecting to the system is 5/16" (R410a/R32 compatible). With the converter adapter included in the box, the hose connection ends (1/4" or 5/16") can be adjusted as needed.
• Design: Ergonomic 90° angled body that prevents the hose from kinking in tight outdoor unit spaces.
• Control Mechanism: Non-slip (anti-slip), high-pressure-marked Red ON/OFF knob that precisely controls pushing and retracting the valve core pin.
• Work Safety: Prevents dangerous gas from spraying out when disconnecting a high-pressure fitting, reliably preventing frostbite and burns on the hands.

Practical Usage Note for Field Technicians

Technician's Note: When working on the high pressure (small pipe) service valve of outdoor units, removing the hose is always riskier because the pressure is much stronger. Connect your manifold's red hose safely with this red-capped 90-degree valve. When you are done, close the red knob and retract the valve core pin. Remove the valve after the service valve has fully closed; this way high-pressure gas will not hit your face or hands, and no charge is lost.
