Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What refrigerant is this 1/4" SAE ball valve compatible with?
A: This brass ball valve is designed for use with R22 refrigerant in standard AC and refrigeration service applications. Always confirm compatibility with your specific system before installation.
Q: What does the "straight-through" design mean for this ball valve?
A: A straight-through (full-bore) ball valve has an unobstructed flow path aligned with the pipe, which minimises pressure drop and turbulence when the valve is open — ideal for refrigerant service lines where efficient flow is important.
Q: Is this valve suitable for both residential and commercial HVAC systems?
A: Yes. With a rated pressure of ≥850 kPa and solid brass construction, this valve is well-suited for residential and light commercial HVAC refrigerant service work involving R22 systems.
Q: What thread standard does this ball valve use?
A: This valve uses SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) threaded fittings — 1/4" external (male) on one end and 1/4" internal (female) on the other, which is the standard for most HVAC manifold gauge sets and refrigerant service equipment.
