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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch male flare inlet for secure leak-free connection to service lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch female flare outlet for direct connection to system service ports or gauges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eQuarter-turn ball valve operation for fast, positive flow shutoff\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact inline design suited for manifold and service hose assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt for refrigerant service environments including recovery, evacuation, and charging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch Male Flare\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch Female Flare\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ball Valve\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: 93845\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"YELLOW JACKET","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51468653855026,"sku":"93845","price":59.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/313945926.jpg?v=1783919892","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/yellow-jacket-93845-ball-valve-3-8-in-male-flare-x-1-4-in-female-flare","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
