Appion MegaFlow™ 5/16" Valve Core Removal Tool – MGAVCR
The Appion MGAVCR is a vacuum-rated valve core removal tool designed for 5/16" ductless and mini-split service ports. It allows technicians to remove restrictive valve cores during evacuation and refrigerant recovery, increasing flow through the access port and helping reduce evacuation and recovery times.
The MGAVCR uses a 5/16" female flare system connection to 1/4" male flare service connection, making it suitable for high-pressure ductless systems while retaining compatibility with standard 1/4" service hoses.
