Virginia Kmp mzk-c14-hnbr Zoomlock Max Coupling 7/8 in

Product Description

The VIRGINIA KMP mzk-c14-hnbr is a 7/8-inch ZoomLock MAX press fitting coupling designed for leak-free refrigerant line connections without brazing. Using a mechanical press fitting system, this coupling eliminates open-flame torch work and nitrogen purging from the connection process. It is engineered for HVACR applications where joint integrity, system cleanliness, and installation speed are critical. Licensed HVAC technicians and refrigeration mechanics install this fitting as part of copper tube assemblies in new construction and retrofit projects across residential, commercial, and industrial systems.

This coupling is suited for air conditioning, heat pump, chiller, VRF, and VRV systems, as well as refrigeration applications including reach-in cases, coolers, walk-in coolers, and freezers. It also sees use in transportation refrigeration. The ZoomLock MAX product line covers pipe sizes from 1/4 inch through 1 1/8 inches, making the mzk-c14-hnbr a standard-size option within a broader compatible fitting family. It is appropriate for both residential and commercial installations where no-torch connection methods are required or preferred.

Key Features

• Press-fit connection requires no brazing torch or open flame
• Eliminates the need for hot work permits on job sites
• No nitrogen purge required during installation
• Reduces risk of solder-related contamination and quality issues
• More repeatable joint quality compared to hand-brazing
• Supports a wide range of HVACR and refrigeration applications

Compatibility

Compatible with air conditioning systems (residential and commercial), heat pumps, chillers, VRF and VRV systems, and refrigeration equipment including cases, coolers, walk-in coolers, and freezers. Also used in transportation refrigeration. ZoomLock MAX fittings span pipe sizes from 1/4 inch to 1 1/8 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a compatible press tool rated for ZoomLock MAX fittings. Verify that all refrigerant has been recovered and the system is fully depressurized before cutting into existing lines. No open flame, hot work permit, or nitrogen purge is needed for this fitting type. Follow local mechanical codes and the fitting manufacturer's pressing procedure to ensure a verified, leak-free joint.
