Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an adapter for use in automotive applications?
This valve has not been tested in auto applications. It is not recommended for this application.
Can BPVs be used on harder metal tubing?
Copper or Aluminum is recommended. Any other material may damage the piercing needle.
Can BPVs be installed the system permanently?
Because 'solderless' type piercing valves tend to leak over time, they should not remain on the refrigeration system after completion of the repair.
