Brass Refrigeration Saddle Valve
The JB Industries A32914 line piercing saddle valve connects to 7/8 inch OD copper tubing without cutting or flaring. It is designed for technicians servicing refrigeration and air-conditioning systems that use CFC, HCFC or HFC refrigerants. The brass body and hardened steel needle provide a reliable tap point for charging, recovery or pressure testing. Each pack contains two valves for multiple access points.
Installs On Live Copper Lines
The self-piercing needle penetrates the tubing wall while the system remains pressurised, so refrigerant does not need to be recovered first. A saddle clamp secures the valve around the pipe and the included cap seals the port when not in use. This arrangement frees up time on service calls and avoids the need for brazing equipment or additional fittings. The valve is compatible with common refrigerant types encountered in the field.
Rated For 800 PSI Working Pressure
The brass construction withstands a maximum working pressure of 800 psi during normal operation. The metal-to-metal seal and cap keep leakage to a minimum while the valve is open or closed. No external power or control signal is required, so the device adds no electrical load or noise to the system. It functions passively whenever the service hose is connected or the cap is in place.

Questions about this item
Will the 800 psi pressure rating hold during continuous refrigerant charging?
The valve is rated for a maximum working pressure of 800 psi with all CFC, HCFC and HFC refrigerants, so sustained charging stays within that limit.
Does the brass body and piercing needle generate noticeable heat or vibration during all-day use?
The brass and copper construction with a hardened steel needle is a passive fitting; it adds no mechanical heat or vibration once installed.
What refrigerant line size and tools do I need before installing this saddle valve?
You need a 7/8 in OD copper refrigerant line and basic wrenches to tighten the saddle clamps around the pipe.
