Fast, Easy and Safe Connections forHigh Pressure Refrigeration Filling Applications

 Specifically Designed for New Higher Pressure Refrigerants
 Easy to Operate Connectors with Unrestricted Flow Rate forMale PCU, Hansen or Equivalent Style Tips

 Disconnect Vents Trapped Residual Refrigerant with Minimal Media Loss Pressure Lock Feature Prevents Accidental Disconnect Under Pressure Heavy Duty Steel Construction and Easy Maintenance for ExtendedConnector Service Life- Refrigeration Quick Disconnect
FasTest’s new Refrigeration Quick Disconnect (RQD) takes the pressure out of connecting torefrigerant lines for charging or evacuating cooling appliances and applications. The RQD’s uniquelever action minimizes the effort necessary for connecting to refrigerant lines under high pressure
while adding the lever mechanical advantage to the valve opening. This simple two step connection
process reduces worker fatigue and increases manufacturing productivity.
