Jb Industries qc-s46 Quick Coupler 1/4 X 3/8 Inch Sae

Product Description

The JB INDUSTRIES qc-s46 is a quick coupler fitting designed for refrigerant system access in HVAC service applications. It features a 1/4 inch female quick-connect inlet and a 3/8 inch SAE male outlet, allowing technicians to make fast, secure connections to refrigerant lines and service ports without threading and unthreading standard flare fittings on every call. This fitting is sold as a single unit and is intended for use with manifold gauge sets and refrigerant handling equipment in the field.

This coupler is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC service work where quick-connect access fittings are used to speed up system diagnostics, refrigerant recovery, and charging procedures. It is typically used by licensed HVAC technicians working with manifold gauge sets that accept 1/4 inch quick-connect hose ends, connecting to 3/8 inch SAE service ports on condensing units, refrigerant cylinders, or recovery machines.

Key Features

• 1/4 inch female quick-connect inlet for tool-free hose attachment and detachment
• 3/8 inch SAE male outlet for standard refrigerant service port connection
• Designed to reduce connection time during refrigerant recovery, evacuation, and charging
• Sold individually for targeted replacement or kit supplementation

Compatibility

Designed for use with manifold gauge sets and refrigerant service equipment that accept 1/4 inch female quick-connect hose fittings and connect to 3/8 inch SAE male service ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians. Before connecting or disconnecting refrigerant service fittings, recover system refrigerant in accordance with EPA Section 608 regulations and applicable local codes. Inspect the quick-connect mechanism and sealing surfaces for debris or damage before use. Do not overtighten SAE flare connections, as this can damage the seating surface and cause leaks.
