QC-12 STRAIGHT QUICK CONNECTOR - R134A

The QC-12 Straight Quick Connector - R134A (Reference: 080601) represents the ideal professional solution for all your maintenance and repair work on automotive air conditioning systems. Specifically designed for R134A refrigerant, this quick connector guarantees reliable and secure connections on air conditioning circuits, whether for recharging, draining or diagnostic operations.

Applications and advantages for your workshop

This QC-12 quick connector is primarily intended for garage owners, automotive mechanics and air conditioning technicians who seek a reliable tool for their daily interventions. Its design allows instant connection to air conditioning systems, considerably reducing intervention time while eliminating leakage risks.

Experienced automotive enthusiasts will also appreciate its ease of use for maintaining their personal vehicle. Whether you perform a complete system recharge, pressure check or draining before repair, this connector accompanies you in all your operations with professional precision.

The time savings achieved through quick connection directly translate into improved workshop productivity, while maintaining the highest quality standards.

Technical specifications and compatibility

The QC-12 connector features a standardized 1/4 SAE male thread, guaranteeing universal compatibility with all automotive air conditioning equipment using the SAE standard. This standardization ensures a perfectly sealed and secure connection, even under the high pressures characteristic of high-pressure circuits.

Its robust metal construction resists repeated mechanical stress and temperature variations encountered in the automotive environment. The integrated sealing rings are specially formulated to resist R134A fluid and maintain their effectiveness over time.

This connector is perfectly suited to the standard service pressures of automotive air conditioning systems, both on the high-pressure side (up to 35 bars) and low-pressure side (up to 10 bars). Its versatility allows its use on all types of vehicles equipped with R134A air conditioning.

Installation and optimal use

Using the QC-12 quick connector requires no specific tools. Its quick-connect design allows assembly in seconds: simply screw the connector onto the air conditioning system service port until firm tightening is achieved.

Before each use, check the condition of the sealing rings and clean the contact surfaces to guarantee optimal connection. When connecting, ensure the system is at atmospheric pressure to avoid refrigerant fluid splashing.

To maintain connector performance over time, regular cleaning with suitable solvent is recommended, especially after exposure to dusty or corrosive environments. Store the connector in a dry, clean place, preferably with protective caps in place.

In case of intensive use, periodically check the condition of the seals and replace them if necessary to maintain perfect sealing.
