New Tools Help Technicians Recover Refrigerant Faster, with Confidence

Fieldpiece Instruments introduced three valve core removal tools designed to improve system charging, recovery and evacuation tasks. The Fieldpiece VCRT lineup features an integrated sight glass that allows technicians to verify at a glance that the valve core is captured prior to removing it and confirm when refrigerant is flowing. A free-spinning, rubberized cap makes removing and inserting the valve core, while under pressure, easier and more comfortable.

All VCRT models are equipped with a ¼ inch service port fitting that can be swapped in the field with an optional 5/16 inch service port fitting for mini-split systems, conveniently reducing the number of tools to carry. Replacement capture rod assemblies also streamline the maintenance process. Techs can say goodbye to deep-buried O-rings, as these simple replacement kits reduce downtime and expedite the repair process.
