Service Port Cap and Valve Kits
According to a 2016 MACS (Mobile Air Conditioning Society) survey*, 53% of the cooling performance issues reported were related to low refrigerant charge. One of the leading causes of leakage was from the service port. Oil, which is used to lubricate the compressor, uses the refrigerant to help it circulate throughout the system. A low refrigerant charge will stop the oil from getting back to the compressor and can ultimately cause premature failure.
gpd offers a complete range of service port kits that include: the Schrader valve (for high and low side) and the service port caps. Service port caps are provided to stop debris from getting into the service port. This debris may also cause a leak or will allow contaminates to get into the system when serviced. *Refer to catalog to verify application fitment. *Reference: www.macsw.org/2016 Field Survey - Survey was performed over a 60-day period at the beginning of the Summer season. On average, there were 119 vehicles seen per shop with a total of 16 workshops. |
