Jb Industries 1/4 Flare Nut Access Valve Tee PK3

Product Description

The JB INDUSTRIES 1/4 flare nut is a brass access valve tee designed for refrigeration and HVAC service work. Each fitting allows technicians to tap into a refrigerant line without brazing, using SAE flare connections on all inlets and outlets. The male SAE line inlet, male SAE line outlet, and male SAE access port make this fitting compatible with standard manifold gauge sets and refrigerant hoses. Each tee ships with one cap and one valve core per fitting, and this package includes three complete assemblies. HVAC technicians working on sealed refrigerant systems will find this a reliable no-braze solution for adding service access to an existing line.

This access valve tee is intended for use in residential and light commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems. It is compatible with all CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants, covering a wide range of legacy and current refrigerant types. The no-braze installation method makes it suitable for field service situations where torch work is impractical or restricted. The tee measures 3 inches in overall length, 1.5 inches in overall width, and 7 inches in overall height. All flare ends are tapped to receive access cores, and a depressor is included to actuate the valve core during service.

Key Features

• No-braze installation: all flare ends are tapped to receive access cores, eliminating torch work on the line
• Compatible with CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants for broad application coverage
• Brass construction for durability and corrosion resistance in refrigerant service environments
• SAE connections on all ports: male line inlet, male line outlet, and male access connection
• Includes one cap and one valve core per fitting, plus a depressor
• Package quantity of 3 fittings for stocking and multi-job use

Compatibility

Designed for use with all CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerant systems using SAE flare connections. Suitable for residential and light commercial HVAC and refrigeration applications where a no-braze service access point is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or refrigeration mechanic. Recover all refrigerant from the system per EPA Section 608 requirements before cutting into the refrigerant line. Ensure all flare connections are tightened to proper SAE flare standards using appropriately sized flare wrenches. After installation, leak-check all connections with an electronic leak detector or approved leak detection solution before recharging the system.
