CAN TAP VALVE CT-340 FOR REFRIGERANT CANS

Description

The Can Tap Valve CT-340 is a professional-grade puncture valve designed to attach securely onto small, disposable refrigerant cans used in automotive, residential, and light commercial cooling systems. Built with a durable metal T-handle, this valve drives a precision hardened pin into the can top to establish an airtight seal before releasing gas. The integrated side port features standard 1/4″ SAE male threads, allowing seamless connection to standard charging hoses and manifold gauge sets for controlled, leak-free refrigerant dispensing.

Technical Specifications

Key Features

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Solid metallic body and T-handle resist mechanical stress, thread stripping, and wear.

• Precision Piercing Pin: Hardened internal steel pin cleanly punctures disposable refrigerant cans without deforming the valve seal.

• Ergonomic T-Handle Control: Textured T-bar handle allows technicians to easily pierce the can and meter refrigerant flow with precision.

• Leak-Proof Rubber Seal: Fitted with a high-grade internal seal gasket to prevent gas blowback and atmospheric leaks during attachment.

• Standard Hose Compatibility: Features a 1/4″ Male SAE flare outlet for direct connection to standard HVAC charging lines.

Supported Applications

• Automotive A/C Servicing: Dispensing R-134a or small-format refrigerants from small cans into vehicle A/C systems.

• Domestic & Light Commercial Refrigeration: Connecting small cans during localized appliance gas top-ups.

• Field HVAC Repairs: Ideal compact tool for mobile technicians servicing small-capacity cooling units.

Benefits

• Eliminates gas waste by providing a reliable, re-sealable shut-off valve on single-use cans.

• Heavy-duty construction offers superior longevity compared to plastic knob alternatives.

• Precise metering handle prevents overcharging or sudden pressure spikes during gas transfer.

• Compact design stores easily in field tool bags and service kits.

Package Includes

• 1 x Can Tap Valve CT-340 Assembly (Metal T-Handle Body & Threaded Adapter)

Important Buyer Verification Notes

Notice for Technicians & Contractors: Ensure the thread size of your disposable refrigerant can matches the lower collar of the CT-340 valve before mounting. Always thread the valve down completely to seat the gasket securely before driving the piercing pin into the container.
