The Mastercool 90413 Adapter is designed to facilitate connections between refrigeration or HVAC equipment that utilize different sized service ports or hoses. Specifically, it converts a 1/4-inch SAE flare connection to a 5/16-inch SAE flare connection, commonly found in newer R-410A systems. This brass adapter ensures a reliable and leak-proof transition between these two standard sizes.

This image displays the Mastercool 90413 Adapter, a precision-machined brass component. It features a 1/4-inch male flare fitting at the top, characterized by its threaded design, and a 5/16-inch female flare fitting at the bottom, which has a knurled grip for easier handling. The adapter is used to bridge connections between refrigeration or HVAC equipment with differing port sizes.

Nastavení

Follow these steps to properly connect the Mastercool 90413 Adapter:

1. Zkontrolujte adaptér: Before each use, visually inspect the adapter for any signs of damage, wear, or debris. Ensure the flare surfaces are clean and free of scratches.
2. Příprava připojení: Ensure the 1/4-inch and 5/16-inch ports or hoses you intend to connect are clean and free of contaminants.
3. Connect 1/4-inch Side: Thread the 1/4-inch male flare end of the adapter onto the corresponding 1/4-inch female port or hose. Hand-tighten first, then use an appropriate wrench to snug it securely. Do not overtighten.
4. Connect 5/16-inch Side: Thread the 5/16-inch female flare end of the adapter onto the corresponding 5/16-inch male port or hose. Hand-tighten first, then use an appropriate wrench to snug it securely. The knurled grip on this end assists with initial hand-tightening.
5. Kontrola těsnosti: After all connections are made, perform a leak check using an approved leak detection method (e.g., soap bubbles, electronic leak detector) before fully operating the system.
