5kT A/C line test port thread size?

[Ameer Antar]

Well, thanks for the posts about the A/C port. I decided to just get a brass cap to cover the port till I can afford to go to an A/C shop. I just want to be sure it won't leak until that happens. Do you think there will be a problem w/ using brass in aluminum A/C system???

Just so it shows in the archive, I found the test port to be a 1/4" flare fitting.

Your local AC EQUIPMENT shop should sell them. Or you can get one from http://www.acsource.com/product.asp?0=236&1=281&3=216 The tool is pretty expensive, and the likelihood of illegally and expensively venting your R12 charge is high. I suggest the pay/shop method, but YMMcertainlyV.

> Thanks for the replay. I have a tire valve tool. Couldn't I just use that? The question is if the a/c valve is the same as a tire valve? My guess is it's not, but I gots no idea... Do you know where these can be found? Thanks a bunch.
