WEH® Connectors for Refrigeration and air conditioning-5

Introduction WEH® Quick connectors for filling and evacuating refrigerants Indispensable tools for refrigerant filling The typical practice when filling and maintaining refrigeration and air conditioning systems is to use screw connectors. When disconnecting these screw connectors, the residual refrigerant in filling hoses escapes into the atmosphere causing considerable environmental damage. Escaping refrigerants also present a risk of injury to operators and can cause painful frost burns to the hands. Manual screwing and unscrewing is not only time and cost-consuming, but is also very laborious....
