Liquid Charging Adapter for HVAC
The JB Industries LC-5 is a liquid charging adapter built for refrigeration and air-conditioning systems. Its 5/16 inch male-to-female connection allows direct inline charging of refrigerant blends. The gold finish identifies the fitting on busy service manifolds.
For technicians charging blended refrigerants
This adapter suits HVAC professionals who need to introduce liquid refrigerant blends into systems without fractionation. It is not for installers working exclusively with single-component refrigerants that do not require liquid charging. Buyers needing a different connection size or angle should look at other fittings.
Simple inline installation
The adapter threads between the charging hose and the system service port using standard 5/16 inch flare connections. No special tools are required beyond the wrenches already carried for flare fittings. The most common issue is cross-threading the flare faces if the nut is started at an angle, which can cause leaks under pressure. Tighten to the torque value specified for the hose and port combination.

Questions about this item
Will this 5/16 inch adapter thread onto my existing charging hose?
The adapter has a 5/16 inch male-to-female connection, so it fits standard hoses and ports with that thread size.
Can I use this straight gold adapter with my older manifold gauge set?
The zero-degree profile keeps the profile low, allowing it to connect directly to legacy gauge ports without the clearance issues of angled fittings.
How do I confirm the LC-5 is metering liquid refrigerant correctly during a charge?
Watch the sight glass on your manifold; a steady stream of liquid without bubbles indicates the adapter is feeding the blend properly into the system.
