TradeFox Locking Caps for 5/16" Valves
These SUPCO TradeFox SFL51610 caps secure refrigerant access valves against unauthorised removal. The pack contains ten caps sized for 5/16 inch fittings and works with R12, R22, R134A, R404A, R410A and other common refrigerants. They help meet IRC M 1411.6 and IMC 1101.10 tamper-resistance requirements for HVAC installations.
Hand-Tight Installation with Included Key
No tools are needed; each cap tightens by hand and locks with the supplied key. The nylon PC thermoplastic resists UV, corrosion, fats, oils and solvents, so the threads stay free even after prolonged outdoor exposure. The only common issue is misplacing the single key, which would prevent future removal without cutting the cap off.
Sustained Outdoor Durability
The material withstands a continuous temperature range of -40 to 257 degrees F without degrading. UV resistance prevents the plastic from becoming brittle during years of rooftop or condenser mounting. Corrosion and solvent resistance ensure the locking mechanism remains operable through seasonal extremes and chemical contact.
