Disconnecting Lines & Fittings

After system is discharged, carefully clean area around all fittings to be opened. Always use 2 wrenches when loosening or tightening fittings. Some refrigerant lines are connected with a spring-lock coupling. Special tools may be required to disconnect lines. To prevent dirt and moisture from entering system, cap all openings as soon as lines are removed. DO NOT remove service valve caps until ready to connect lines and fittings.

NOTE: All R-134a based systems use 1/2-16 ACME threaded fittings. Ensure all replacement parts match connections of system being worked on.
