Constructed from brass, it is designed for refrigeration and HVAC systems where technicians need reliable access to refrigerant circuits for charging, evacuation, or pressure testing. The valve accepts tube outer diameters from 3\/16 to 3\/8 inches, making it compatible with a range of copper line sizes commonly found in residential and light commercial refrigeration and air conditioning equipment. Licensed HVAC technicians and refrigeration mechanics are the primary installers of this component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis access valve is suited for refrigeration systems and air conditioning equipment that use copper tubing in the 3\/16 to 3\/8 inch OD range. It is installed at service points along the refrigerant circuit, allowing technicians to connect manifold gauge sets, recovery equipment, or vacuum pumps without disrupting the rest of the system. Its 3-way configuration supports multiple simultaneous connections, streamlining service and diagnostic procedures on both residential and light commercial systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-way solder connector design allows multiple simultaneous service connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e500 psi maximum working pressure for safe use with common refrigerants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with tube OD sizes from 3\/16 to 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in refrigerant service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact form factor suits tight installation spaces in refrigeration cabinets and HVAC equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation access valve for refrigeration and air conditioning systems using copper tubing with an outer diameter between 3\/16 and 3\/8 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation of this access valve should be performed by a licensed HVAC or refrigeration technician in compliance with applicable EPA Section 608 refrigerant handling regulations. Recover all refrigerant from the system before soldering to prevent ignition of refrigerant vapor and to avoid pressure buildup. Use appropriate flux and silver-bearing solder rated for refrigeration copper tubing, and allow the joint to cool fully before pressurizing the system. Inspect all solder joints for leaks using an electronic leak detector or approved bubble solution before returning the system to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-Way Solder Connector Access Valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 500 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Tube OD\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 to 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PARKER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: AVUS3-40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541710569778,"sku":"AVUS3-40","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6261105321574c09487d2f75f3d824b0.jpg?v=1785882674","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-avus3-40-3-way-solder-access-valve-500-psi","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
