Yellow Jacket 60445 Swage Adapter 5/16 Inch

Product Description

The YELLOW JACKET 60445 is a 5/16-inch swage adapter designed for use in refrigeration and air conditioning service work. Swage adapters allow technicians to create leak-free flared or swaged connections between copper tubing sections without the need for additional fittings. This adapter integrates with compatible swaging tool sets to produce professional-grade tube joints in the field. It is a compact, single-purpose component used by licensed HVAC-R technicians during installation, repair, and retrofit work on refrigerant lines and copper piping systems.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC-R service applications where 5/16-inch copper tubing connections are required. It is commonly used during line set installation, evaporator coil replacement, and refrigerant piping repairs. Technicians working on split systems, mini-splits, and refrigeration equipment will find this adapter useful when a swaged tube joint is preferred over a brazed or compression-style connection.
