Precision brass adapter fitting, designed for quick conversion between standard 1\/4″ SAE (7\/16″-20 UNF)<\/b> and 5\/16″ SAE (1\/2″-20 UNF)<\/b> connections. Essential for refrigeration technicians and HVAC installers, it allows standard 1\/4″ equipment (traditional pressure gauges, vacuum pumps, scales, and charging hoses) to be connected to the service valves of air conditioners and systems operating with R410A<\/b> refrigerant.<\/p>\n

Strengths<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    R410A Compatibility:<\/b> Allows for the direct use of pressure gauges and hoses with a standard 1\/4″ SAE connection on the standard 5\/16″ service ports of R410A air conditioners.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Integrated Depressor:<\/b> An internal valve press calibrated to open the Schrader valve pin, minimizing refrigerant leaks during connection.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    High-Pressure Resistance:<\/b> Sturdy forged brass construction, ideal for withstanding the high operating pressures typical of direct expansion systems.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \n

    Recommendation for use:<\/b> Check the condition of the inner gasket regularly to ensure a perfect vacuum seal and prevent leaks during charging.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":50194,"template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[145],"product_tag":[],"acf":{"ai_note":""},"yoast_head":"\n1\/4" SAE x 5\/16" SAE Adapter Fitting | Refrigerant Boys<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Precision brass adapter fitting, designed for quick conversion between standard 1\/4" SAE (7\/16"-20 UNF) and 5\/16" SAE (1\/2"-20 UNF) connections.
