Parker AVT3-2 Forged Male Run Tee Access Valve 1/4 in

Product Description

The PARKER AVT3-2 is a forged male run tee access valve designed for refrigeration line service applications. Constructed from brass, this valve provides a secure, leak-resistant connection point for refrigerant system access. It features a 1/8-27 male pipe thread and accepts a 1/4 inch tube OD, with a maximum working pressure rating of 500 psi. HVAC and refrigeration technicians use this valve to establish service access points on refrigerant lines without interrupting the main line run. The forged brass body delivers reliable durability in demanding service environments.

This access valve is suited for residential and light commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems where a tee-style inline access point is required. The male run tee configuration allows the valve to be integrated directly into a refrigerant line, providing a serviceable port for gauging, charging, or evacuation procedures. It is typically installed by licensed HVAC-R technicians during system commissioning or retrofit service work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC-R technician in accordance with applicable local codes and EPA Section 608 refrigerant handling regulations. Recover all refrigerant from the system before cutting into any refrigerant line. Use appropriate tube cutting and flaring or swaging tools rated for the refrigerant and pressure involved. Verify all connections are leak-free with an electronic leak detector or nitrogen pressure test before recharging the system.
