Icp qc-s45-45 Gauge Hose Adapter 45 Deg 5/16 F X 1/4 Sae M

Product Description

The INTERNATIONAL COMFORT PRODUCTS qc-s45-45 is a refrigeration gauge set hose adapter designed for use with manifold gauge sets in HVAC refrigerant service applications. The adapter features a 45-degree angle configuration with right-hand thread and connects a 5/16-inch female fitting to a 1/4-inch SAE male fitting. This type of adapter allows technicians to attach gauge hoses to service ports or manifold sets where a straight connection would be awkward or restricted. It is a working component handled by licensed HVAC and refrigeration technicians during system charging, evacuation, and diagnostic procedures.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC refrigeration service work. It is typically used when connecting manifold gauge hoses to system service ports in tight equipment cabinets or when routing hoses around compressor compartment obstacles. The 45-degree angle reduces hose stress and makes connections easier in confined spaces. No specific model compatibility data was provided with this listing.

Key Features

• 45-degree angle adapter reduces hose strain in tight service areas
• 5/16-inch female inlet thread for standard gauge hose connection
• 1/4-inch SAE male outlet for direct service port or manifold connection
• Right-hand thread on both ends for standard wrench installation
• Compact design suited for confined HVAC equipment cabinets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fitting for use with standard refrigeration manifold gauge sets and service hoses in residential and commercial HVAC refrigerant service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC or refrigeration technicians in accordance with applicable EPA Section 608 refrigerant handling regulations. Recover all refrigerant from the system before disconnecting any fittings or hoses. Hand-tighten the adapter first to confirm thread engagement, then snug with an appropriately sized wrench. Do not overtighten, as this can damage seat surfaces and cause leaks.
