Charging Hoses & Service Couplings
For refridgeration and A/C

Color Coded Charging Hoses


PolarShield™ Charging Hose
Designed to meet UL and SAE Requirements

These color coded charging hoses have been designed to meet UL and SAE requirements for strength, pressure, and refrigerant permutation.
Working pressure: 500 PSI
Burst pressure: 2,500 PSI

Choice of End Connections

PolarShield™ comes with ends for 1/4" SAE flare connections or with a permanently attached high performance Kwic-Coupler at the other end. Standard 1/4" swivel flare connections feature an angled elbow with an adjustable valve core depressor. With the addition of the Kwic-Coupler, refrigerant is captured in the hose preventing refrigeration loss, dangerous hand burns, and atmospheric damage.

Kwik-Coupler

Instant Connection

Automatic Operation
Seals perfectly without skilled manipulation
Depress all core valves without adjustment

The Kwik-Coupler set is intended for use with refrigeration air conditioning service manifold high and low side hoses, when connecting to core valve type service fittings. Conventional threaded connecting is converted to push-pull operation which is faster, easier and positive sealing at all times. Valve cores are depressed automatically without adjustments of loss of refrigerant. Disconnecting is also accomplished without loss of refrigerant.

Features

  • Automatic full depression of core valves without adjustment, regardless of core position.
  • Coupler halves separately connect to access fitting and hose end, then easy push/pull operation automatically opens or closes system without loss of refrigerant.
  • Automatic shutoff of hose ends permits discharging high side hose through manifold into low side.
  • Eliminates hazardous discharge of refrigerant and oil from high side of system when disconnecting hoses.
  • Simplifies operation of charging critical amount of refrigerant into small systems.
  • Prevents freezing hand when disconnecting-especially servicing heat pumps in cold weather.
  • Hoses can be stored under slight pressure, if desired to prevent contamination.
  • Core depressors in hose ends no longer necessary- spread servicing of system with hang valves.
