Refrigeration technicians fit access valves to a sealed system so they can connect gauges, recover refrigerant, then evacuate and recharge the circuit. The tail is brazed onto the system tubing. This is a trade part, and any work on the refrigerant circuit must be done by a licensed technician.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat a refrigeration access valve is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDomestic fridges and freezers are sealed systems, and many leave the factory without a permanent service port. When a technician needs to diagnose or repair the system, an access valve gives them a sealed connection point for gauges and recovery equipment. A valve core that leaks, a damaged thread or a missing cap can let refrigerant escape slowly, leaving the fridge warm again after a recharge. Using the correct tail size for the tube makes for a clean, leak free braze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux group part 4055918942\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRefrigeration access valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/16 inch tail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor licensed refrigeration technicians\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTail size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\/16 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly a technician holding the appropriate refrigerant handling licence should open or braze into a refrigeration system. Remove the valve core before brazing so heat doesn't damage its seal, and protect the valve body with a wet rag or heat sink paste. Refit the core, pressure test for leaks and fit the cap once the job is done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I fit this myself to regas my fridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Working on a refrigerant circuit in Australia requires a refrigerant handling licence. A licensed technician can fit the valve, find and repair the leak, and recharge the system correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Electrolux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44550566182990,"sku":"4055918942","price":27.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/3489\/7998\/files\/4055918942-genuine-electrolux-access-valve-with-3-16-inch-tail.jpg?v=1792026052","url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/4055918942-genuine-electrolux-access-valve-with-3-16-inch-tail","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
