Uniweld 49016 R-134a Auto Recharge Hose Can Tap Valve

Product Description

The UNIWELD 49016 is a self-piercing R-134a auto recharge hose with an integrated can tap valve, designed for low-side service of automotive air conditioning systems. The assembly includes a T-handle for fingertip control of the piercing valve, a short blue service hose, and a low-side service coupler that connects directly to the vehicle low-side port. This tool allows technicians to add refrigerant from a single-use can without additional fittings or equipment. It is well suited for mobile a/c service work where a compact, self-contained recharge solution is needed.

The UNIWELD 49016 is intended for use with R-134a refrigerant in automotive a/c systems. The low-side service coupler mates with the standard R-134a low-side port found on passenger vehicles and light trucks. It is a common tool for automotive technicians and mobile service operations performing quick refrigerant top-offs or basic a/c system service.

Installation Notes

This hose assembly is installed by automotive technicians servicing vehicle a/c systems. Before connecting, ensure the vehicle engine is off or follow the system manufacturer service procedure for low-side access. Connect the low-side coupler to the vehicle low-side port before piercing the refrigerant can with the T-handle valve to prevent uncontrolled refrigerant release. Follow all applicable EPA Section 608 and Section 609 regulations when handling refrigerants.
