Yellow Jacket 19000 Vacuum Charge Valve 1/4 Inch

Product Description

The YELLOW JACKET 19000 is a 1/4-inch vacuum and charge valve designed for HVAC refrigeration service work. This valve allows technicians to pull vacuums and charge refrigerant systems without a side port, which streamlines the connection process and reduces potential leak points. It is also used for removing and replacing Schrader cores during system service. The 19000 is a hand tool accessory intended for use by licensed HVAC and refrigeration technicians working on residential and light commercial equipment.

This valve is suited for refrigerant circuit service tasks where a direct 1/4-inch flare connection is required. Its side-port-free design makes it well suited for faster vacuum pulls and charging operations, reducing the number of fittings in the manifold circuit. Technicians use it during system commissioning, routine maintenance, and Schrader core replacement procedures on split systems, package units, and refrigeration equipment.

Key Features

• 1/4-inch connection size fits standard refrigerant service port fittings
• No side port design reduces leak points and speeds up vacuum and charging operations
• Allows Schrader core removal and replacement without recovering the refrigerant circuit
• Compact valve body suited for tight access areas in field service conditions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style service accessory compatible with standard 1/4-inch flare refrigerant service ports found on residential and light commercial HVAC and refrigeration equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a certified HVAC or refrigeration technician in compliance with EPA Section 608 regulations. Always recover or isolate refrigerant before removing a Schrader core to prevent uncontrolled release. Ensure all connections are hand-tight and leak-checked before pulling a vacuum or introducing refrigerant. Use with a calibrated manifold gauge set and an appropriate vacuum pump for best results.
