Yellow Jacket 93845 Ball Valve 3/8 in Male Flare X 1/4 in Female Flare

Product Description

The YELLOW JACKET 93845 is a refrigeration ball valve designed to control refrigerant flow in HVAC and refrigeration service lines. It features a 3/8 inch male flare inlet and a 1/4 inch female flare outlet, making it a compact inline shutoff for technician use during system service, recovery, or charging operations. The quarter-turn ball valve design provides fast, positive shutoff with minimal pressure drop across the valve. Licensed HVAC technicians and refrigeration service pros install this valve as part of manifold setups, line sets, and service port configurations.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC and refrigeration applications where a reliable inline shutoff between different flare sizes is needed. The 3/8 inch to 1/4 inch size transition makes it practical for connecting service hoses or gauges to system ports with differing flare diameters. It is commonly used during refrigerant recovery, evacuation, and recharge procedures.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch male flare inlet for secure leak-free connection to service lines
• 1/4 inch female flare outlet for direct connection to system service ports or gauges
• Quarter-turn ball valve operation for fast, positive flow shutoff
• Compact inline design suited for manifold and service hose assemblies
• Built for refrigerant service environments including recovery, evacuation, and charging

Compatibility

Designed as an inline refrigerant shutoff valve for use with standard 3/8 inch male flare and 1/4 inch female flare service connections common in HVAC and refrigeration systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC or refrigeration technician in accordance with applicable codes and safe refrigerant handling practices under EPA Section 608. Recover system refrigerant and relieve line pressure before disconnecting or installing any valve in the refrigerant circuit. Use proper flare wrenches on both fittings to avoid overtightening or distorting flare seats. Inspect flare seats for damage or debris before making connections to ensure a leak-free joint.
