1/4 in. Valve Core Removal Tool

Vacuum-Rated Valve Core Removal Tool for 1/4 in. Fittings

Valve cores effect refrigerant recovery and system evacuation times significantly. Always remove valve cores from the system for Full Flow. 

Why Remove Valve Cores?

Valve cores are designed to restrict flow and minimize refrigerant loss. Up to 90% of the access port can be restricted by a valve core. Removing them maximizes flow and can save hours on any job.

Hot Tanks and Slow Recovery?

A valve core acts like an expansion valve, turning liquid refrigerant into vapor and superheating the refrigerant. This causes the tank to heat up and leads to painfully slow recovery times.

Magnetic Base - Never Lose a Stem Again

Features a strong magnetic base that securely attaches to metal surfaces, keeping the tool readily available and preventing lost stems.

Tired of Slow Evacuations?

Evacuating through a valve core and core depressor can reduce the potential flow of any vacuum pump to as little as 0.2CFM.

Adjustable Tip - Grab Cores with Confidence

The stem tip can be tightened or loosened to accommodate various valve core sizes, providing a secure grip for easy removal and installation.

Are Your Tools Rated for Vacuum and Pressure?

All Appion Valve Core Removal Tools are Vacuum-Rated to 20 microns and designed for high pressure refrigerants, such as R410A. This will give you the peace of mind that your tools aren't going to leak in a deep vacuum or during critical parts of the recovery process.
