Description
Product Summary
The Appion VFL45L is a 4" 45° vacuum-rated connector with (2) 1/4" female flare swivel fittings, built to reach 1/4" service ports in tight spaces where a straight fitting or a gauge would hit a panel, line set, or cabinet. It is a compact way to mount a digital gauge or micron gauge at the right angle without kinking a hose or stressing the access valve.
Seamless copper construction virtually eliminates leak and failure points, and the ultra-low internal volume and low-loss fittings help keep pressure and vacuum readings accurate. Vacuum-rated to 20 microns and suitable for high-pressure refrigerants such as R-410A, the VFL45L works in both pressure and vacuum service and pairs naturally with Appion digital gauges.
Key Features
- 45° angle: Repositions gauges and hoses at 45° to clear obstructions around service ports.
- 4" length: Short, rigid extension keeps the connection compact and stable.
- Dual swivel fittings: (2) 1/4" female flare swivel nuts make alignment quick without twisting the connector.
- Seamless copper body: Seamless construction virtually eliminates leak and failure points.
- Vacuum-rated to 20 microns: Suitable for deep-vacuum verification as well as pressure work.
- Low-loss, low-volume: Ultra-low internal volume and low-loss fittings support accurate, reliable measurements.
