The cap features a 5\/16-inch thread and requires a special tool for both installation and removal, preventing unauthorized or accidental access to the service port. Each package includes 2 caps. The embossed red color coding allows technicians to identify A2L-specific fittings at a glance, reducing the risk of refrigerant mixing or improper service. These caps are installed by licensed HVAC technicians as a safety measure to help prevent refrigerant leakage and the serious hazards associated with A2L gas exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 86701 Novent cap is intended for use on A2L refrigerant lines in residential and light commercial central A\/C systems and mini-split units. A2L refrigerants are mildly flammable and toxic in high concentrations, making proper service valve protection critical during installation, service, and storage. This cap is part of a color-coded system that helps technicians quickly distinguish refrigerant types and avoid cross-contamination during field service. Suitable for any system equipped with standard 5\/16-inch Schrader service ports charged with A2L refrigerant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeals standard Schrader service valves on A2L refrigerant systems to prevent leakage and unauthorized access\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRequires a special removal tool, reducing the risk of accidental or improper valve access\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed color coding and embossed markings provide fast visual identification of A2L refrigerant ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHelps prevent dangerous refrigerant mixing during service on central A\/C and mini-split systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-inch thread fits standard Schrader service valve ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as a 2-pack for single-system or multi-port applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use on standard Schrader service valves with 5\/16-inch thread on central A\/C units and mini-split systems operating with A2L refrigerants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation and removal must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician using the required special Novent tool — standard valve core tools and hand tools are not compatible with this locking cap. Always recover or isolate refrigerant per EPA Section 608 requirements before servicing any connected valve. Inspect the service port threads for damage before installing the cap to ensure a proper seal. Follow all applicable local codes and refrigerant handling regulations for A2L flammable refrigerants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefrigerant Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: A2L\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Use\u003c\/strong\u003e: A2L refrigerant lines in A\/C or mini-split units\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.50 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.13 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.50 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11.63 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 021449867016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: RECTORSEAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 86701\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RECTORSEAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51138939486514,"sku":"86701","price":23.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/305532919.png?v=1778266156","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/rectorseal-86701-novent-a2l-schrader-valve-cap-5-16-in-2-pack","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
