Refrigerant Hose CHidotools Brass 7in Valve

Description

Product Overview

The CHidotools refrigerant charging hose is a 7‑inch long, solid brass line designed for high‑pressure air‑conditioning work. Constructed from durable brass, the hose resists corrosion and maintains a tight seal under demanding conditions. It features a 1/4″ SAE female fitting and a manual shut‑off ball valve rated for a 3000 psi burst pressure. The valve knob is color‑coded—red, blue, and yellow—to match common refrigerants such as R134A, R410A, R22, and R12, reducing the risk of cross‑contamination. Package dimensions are 7.56 × 2.87 × 1.26 inches and the unit weighs just 9.5 oz, making it easy to carry in a tool bag.
