Parker AVTS-6 Solder Tee Access Valve 3/8 Inch 500 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER AVTS-6 is a solder tee access valve designed for refrigeration systems requiring a reliable service port in a brazed line set. Rated to 500 psi maximum, this valve is constructed from brass and accepts 3/8 inch tube outside diameter connections via solder joints. The tee configuration allows technicians to add a service access point directly into an existing refrigerant line without cutting and reconfiguring the run. It is installed by HVAC-R technicians during service, commissioning, or retrofit work on residential and light commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems.

This access valve is suited for applications where a permanent, brazed-in service port is needed on a 3/8 inch OD refrigerant line. Typical uses include adding a low-side or high-side service port to a line set, facilitating refrigerant charging, pressure testing, or system diagnostics. The solder tee style makes it appropriate for copper tubing runs in split systems, refrigeration cases, and similar closed-loop refrigerant circuits handled by certified HVAC-R professionals.

Key Features

• Rated to 500 psi maximum working pressure for refrigeration service applications
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in refrigerant environments
• Solder tee design allows direct brazed installation into a 3/8 inch OD copper line
• Tee configuration adds a service access port without requiring a full line replacement
• Compact form factor at 0.07 pounds suits tight installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and add-on fitting for refrigeration and air conditioning systems using 3/8 inch OD copper tubing with brazed connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by an EPA Section 608 certified HVAC-R technician. Recover all refrigerant and relieve system pressure before cutting into any refrigerant line. Standard brazing and silver-alloy solder techniques apply; follow applicable mechanical and refrigeration codes for joint preparation and flux use. Allow the joint to cool completely before recharging the system and leak-checking all connections.
