Installation and Use Guidelines

Designed for technicians with EPA Section 608 certification or equivalent HVAC training, this tool is intended for use with standard refrigerant access fittings. For optimal performance, ensure fittings are clean and free of wear before use. Always depressurize the manifold and isolate the system before core reinsertion.

Field Insights

For HVAC Technicians: The 4-in-1 core tool eliminates the need to pull down pressure before core replacement, saving time on critical jobs. It’s a go-to choice for techs working with R-410A, R-22, and similar systems, offering tight seal integrity and repeatable performance under pressure.

Key Highlights

• No-Recovery Core Replacement – Speeds up service while preserving refrigerant charge
• Minimizes System Downtime – No need to isolate the unit or evacuate before maintenance
• Built for Daily Use – Withstands constant threading and unthreading on service valves
• High Compatibility – Fits standard 1/4" service ports on most HVAC/R equipment

Equip your service kit with a tool that saves time and preserves refrigerant. The 4-in-1 Ball Valve Core Tool is built to handle the demands of professional HVAC fieldwork—day in and day out.
