Line Piercing Valve for HVAC Systems
The JB Industries EZ-40288 line piercing valve connects to 1/4 inch fittings and fits 3/16 inch and 3/8 inch OD tubing. It is built from brass for corrosion resistance in refrigerant lines. The valve handles all CFC, HCFC and HFC refrigerants at a maximum working pressure of 500 psi. HVAC technicians use it for quick service access without cutting pipe.
Gaskets Included for Immediate Sealing
The package supplies the gaskets required to seal the piercing point during installation. This means the technician can complete the connection in a single visit without sourcing separate sealing parts. The brass body and supplied gaskets work together to maintain a leak-free joint under full system pressure. No additional sealing compounds are needed for standard applications.
500 psi Rating Determines System Compatibility
The 500 psi maximum working pressure is the critical limit that decides whether this valve suits a given installation. Systems operating above this pressure require a different valve rated for higher loads. Buyers must verify their equipment's design pressure against this figure before purchase. The valve is not intended for pressures exceeding 500 psi.

Questions about this item
Will the brass valve body or the gaskets need replacing after repeated refrigerant cycles?
The brass construction resists corrosion from CFC, HCFC and HFC refrigerants; only the included gaskets may require replacement if they deform or leak over time.
At what pressure does the 500 psi rating become the limiting factor during continuous recovery?
The valve is rated for a maximum working pressure of 500 psi, so sustained operation above that level is the first hard limit you will encounter.
Does the valve generate noticeable heat or vibration when left piercing a line all day?
As a passive brass fitting with no moving parts or electrical load, it produces no measurable heat, noise or vibration during extended use.
