Yellow Jacket 93836 Compact Ball Valve 3/8 Inch Sae

Product Description

The YELLOW JACKET 93836 is a compact ball valve designed for refrigerant system service work. It features a 3/8-inch SAE male flare x male flare straight flow-through configuration that delivers full-flow capacity when open. The quarter-turn ball mechanism provides fast, positive shutoff without restricting flow in the open position. This valve is built for use with refrigerant hoses and manifold gauge sets in HVAC/R service applications. It is installed by licensed HVAC technicians during system evacuation, charging, and refrigerant recovery procedures.

The 93836 is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC/R service where a reliable inline shutoff is needed between hoses, gauges, or charging equipment. The 3/8-inch SAE male flare connections on both ends allow straight in-line installation without adapters in standard service hose assemblies. It is a compact form-factor valve, making it practical for tight access points on condensing units and air handlers.

Key Features

• 3/8-inch SAE male flare x male flare straight configuration for direct in-line installation
• Full-flow capacity in the open position minimizes pressure drop during charging or recovery
• Compact ball valve design provides fast quarter-turn shutoff
• Straight flow-through body suitable for hose-to-hose or hose-to-equipment connections

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8-inch SAE male flare refrigerant service hoses and manifold gauge set assemblies used in HVAC/R service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC/R technicians following applicable EPA Section 608 guidelines for refrigerant handling. Recover system refrigerant before disconnecting any service connections. Hand-tighten SAE flare fittings before applying a wrench to avoid cross-threading, and use an appropriately sized flare wrench to achieve a leak-free seat without overtightening. Verify connections are leak-free with an electronic leak detector or soap solution before returning the system to service.
