FIELDPIECE INSTRUMENTS HVACR VALVE CORE REMOVAL TOOLS

Fieldpiece Instruments , manufacturer of tool and test instruments that enhance the work of HVACR professionals , introduced three valve core removal tools ( VCRTs ) designed to improve system charging , recovery and evacuation tasks . VCRTs remove the valve core from service valves in air conditioning , heat pump , and refrigeration systems to replace defective cores and provide an unobstructed flow of refrigerant for faster servicing .

The Fieldpiece VCRT lineup includes 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 . Fieldpiece eliminated the frustration that techs face when it takes multiple tries , and lost refrigerant , before the valve core is captured . The Fieldpiece VCRT capture tip also includes an interior gasket that the valve core pin presses into to secure it for removal . No more fishing around for lost valve cores – a solid grip guarantees that the job is done right the first time , every time .
