Refrigerant Circuit Extraction And Filling Valves For Service Station Couplings

CAUTION:
- There is a danger of ice-up.
- Refrigerant will leak out if refrigerant circuit is not discharged.
- Refrigerant must be extracted before opening refrigerant circuit. If refrigerant circuit is not opened within 10 minutes of extraction, pressure may form in refrigerant circuit due to evaporation. Extract refrigerant once more.


Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
- Torque wrench V.A.G 1783 (2 to 10 Nm) with 1/4" socket VAS 6234
- Only valves and connections that are resistant to refrigerant R134a and refrigerant oil must be installed.
- Different connections (outer diameter) for high pressure and low pressure side.
- Always screw on sealing caps.
