Refrigerant System Pressure Access Ports

There are two access ports in the system: on the suction tube
near the compressor and on the discharge tube near the com-
pressor. These are brass fittings with black plastic caps. The
hose connection fittings are standard 1/4-in. SAE male flare
couplings.
The brass fittings are two-piece high flow valves, with a recep-
tacle base brazed to the tubing and an integral spring-closed
check valve core screwed into the base. See Fig. 18. This check
valve is permanently assembled into this core body and cannot
be serviced separately; replace the entire core body if neces-
sary. Service tools are available from RCD that allow the re-
placement of the check valve core without having to recover
the entire system refrigerant charge. Apply compressor refrig-
erant oil to the check valve core's bottom o-ring. Install the fit-
ting body with 96 ± 10 in.-lb (10.85 ± 1.1 Nm) of torque; do
not over-tighten.
