It handles four core functions in a single unit: vacuum, charge, Schrader core removal, and refrigerant recovery. The design allows technicians to remove and replace Schrader cores without losing system charge, saving time and reducing refrigerant loss on every service call. This valve is built for field use and is a practical addition to any HVAC service technician's manifold setup or recovery rig. No side port is included on this version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis valve is used in residential and light commercial HVAC refrigeration service applications. It is suited for tasks that require pulling a vacuum, charging a system, performing core removal, or connecting recovery equipment — all through a single connection point. The 1\/4-inch fitting size is standard for most refrigerant manifold hose connections, making it compatible with typical field service setups. HVAC technicians performing routine maintenance, system commissioning, or refrigerant recovery will find this tool applicable across a wide range of service scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-in-1 functionality: vacuum, charge, core removal, and refrigerant recovery in one valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch connection size matches standard manifold hose fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAllows Schrader core removal and replacement without losing system charge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBall valve design provides positive shutoff during service operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo side port configuration keeps the tool compact for tight access areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style service tool for use with standard 1\/4-inch refrigerant service connections on residential and light commercial HVAC systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis valve is installed and serviced by licensed HVAC technicians working with refrigerant systems. Always recover refrigerant and follow EPA Section 608 regulations before opening any refrigerant circuit. Ensure all connections are hand-tight and leak-checked before pulling vacuum or introducing charge. Do not exceed the rated working pressure of the connected system or service hoses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-in-1 Ball Valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide Port\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunctions\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vacuum, Charge, Core Removal, Recovery\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: YELLOW JACKET\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18971\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"YELLOW JACKET","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51150757265714,"sku":"18971","price":115.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/305987450.jpg?v=1778617800","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/yellow-jacket-18971-4-in-1-vacuum-charge-valve-1-4-inches","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
