The ONLY valve with a permanent type, patented gasket application!
SUPCO’s “Bullet® Piercing Valve” utilizes the same type of gasket found under the head plate of most air conditioning compressors. When installed, the gasket actually compresses the copper tubing .020" creating a permanent, leakproof seal that will withstand any pressure and temperature for the life of the unit.
Features:
- For 1/2" and 5/8" O.D. tubing size
- Patented valve gasket application provides 50 times more sealing area than competitive “O” ring types
- A sealing force of over 180 inch lbs., torque tested with 500 lbs., pressure tested at 250°F
- Precision piercing needle is engineered for concentricity and hardness to insure perfect seating every time
- Nonpositional mounting — No adapter valve required
- Requires only a 2" clearance area for installation and operation
- Hex key wrench included — No additional tools required
- Corrosion resistant plated and lacquered finish
