Jb Industries a31852 Swivel Flare Tee Depressor 3 Pack

Product Description

The JB INDUSTRIES a31852 is a swivel flare tee fitting with an integrated depressor, designed for use in refrigeration and HVAC service applications. The swivel nut is located on the branch port and features a 1/4 inch female SAE flare connection, allowing technicians to attach manifold gauges or service hoses without rotating the connected line. The swivel design reduces the risk of torquing or stressing copper tubing during connection and disconnection. This fitting comes in a 3-pack, making it a practical addition to a service tech's manifold set or fitting kit.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial HVAC and refrigeration service work. It is most commonly installed at service ports on refrigerant circuits where a tee connection is needed to simultaneously access pressure readings or introduce refrigerant while maintaining a sealed system. The integrated depressor actuates the Schrader valve on contact, eliminating the need for a separate valve core tool during routine service. It is typically installed by licensed HVAC technicians performing system diagnostics, charging, or evacuation procedures.

Key Features

• 1/4 inch female SAE swivel connection on the branch port for flexible hose attachment
• Integrated depressor actuates Schrader valve cores without additional tools
• Swivel nut design prevents torque transfer to refrigerant lines during service
• Comes in a 3-pack for stocking multiple service kits or manifold setups
• Compact tee configuration suits tight service port locations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style service fitting compatible with standard 1/4 inch female SAE flare refrigerant service ports commonly found on residential and light commercial HVAC and refrigeration equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician in accordance with applicable EPA Section 608 regulations governing refrigerant handling. Recover or isolate refrigerant pressure as appropriate before attaching or removing fittings from a live system. Hand-tighten the swivel nut first, then snug with a wrench to avoid cross-threading or over-torquing the flare seat. Inspect the fitting and mating flare surface for damage or debris before each use to maintain a leak-free connection.
