Jb Industries CLV60R 60in Red Charging Hose Ball Valve

Product Description

The JB INDUSTRIES CLV60R is a single 60-inch red refrigerant charging hose designed for HVAC technicians working with high-pressure refrigerant systems. Part of the CLV Series Kobra line, this hose is constructed with a Kevlar core for exceptional strength and flexibility, paired with a nitrile outer cover that outperforms neoprene in wear resistance and longevity. The hose terminates in a 6-inch ball valve whip end that opens to full flow, giving technicians precise control during charging and recovery operations. The 1/4-inch fitting features a patent-pending hood design that locks the gasket in place with straight edge-to-straight edge force, eliminating gasket blowout risk. A barbed depressor locks into the gasket, increasing outward force and seating the gasket more securely. The precisely machined depressor maximizes flow and includes a dimple to guide the valve core into position.

The CLV60R is suited for residential and commercial HVAC refrigerant service work, including system charging, evacuation, and recovery procedures. The red color designation indicates use on the high-pressure side of a manifold gauge set. The 6-inch whip end provides flexibility at the service port connection, reducing stress on fittings and making it easier to work in tight equipment spaces such as rooftop units, air handlers, and condensing unit service ports. This hose is made in the USA and is built for repeated field use across a wide range of refrigerant types.

Key Features

• Kevlar core construction provides high tensile strength and flexibility in the field
• Nitrile outer cover for improved durability and longer service life compared to neoprene
• 6-inch ball valve whip end opens to full flow for efficient refrigerant transfer
• Patent-pending fitting hood locks gasket with straight edge-to-straight edge force to prevent blowout
• Barbed depressor increases outward gasket force and seats the gasket more securely
• Precisely machined depressor with valve core guide dimple for maximum flow and accurate connection

Compatibility

Designed as a high-pressure side replacement or service hose for standard 1/4-inch manifold gauge set connections used in refrigerant charging, recovery, and evacuation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and service should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician holding the appropriate EPA Section 608 certification for refrigerant handling. Recover all system refrigerant before disconnecting existing hoses. Inspect the gasket and fitting threads before each use and replace hose assemblies showing signs of cracking, swelling, or fitting damage. Torque connections by hand first, then snug with a wrench, following manifold gauge set manufacturer guidelines for fitting connection procedures.
