Kwik Elbow Coupler - 45? Flare - Imperial

The Imperial 17-C Kwik Elbow Coupler is a professional-grade tool engineered for technicians requiring efficient and secure angled connections in automotive, HVAC, and refrigeration systems. This 45° flare coupler converts traditional threaded connections to a fast, push-pull operation, significantly streamlining service procedures. Crafted from robust brass, it ensures durability and leak-resistant performance in demanding professional environments.

Key Features

• Kwik-Coupler Mechanism: Facilitates rapid and positive sealing through a push-pull operation, minimizing connection and disconnection times while preventing refrigerant loss.
• Integrated Shut-Off Valve: Automatically retains system pressure within a disconnected hose, preventing refrigerant discharge and enabling the transfer of high-side refrigerant to the low side through the manifold.
• Automatic Core Valve Depression: Depresses valve cores upon connection without manual adjustment, eliminating potential refrigerant loss and speeding up servicing of systems with hand valves.
• Durable Brass Construction: Manufactured from high-quality brass for superior corrosion resistance and extended service life, ensuring reliability in professional applications.
• 90-Degree Elbow Design: Provides an essential angled connection for efficient tubing routing in confined spaces or around obstacles in various systems.

Applications

This Kwik Elbow Coupler is suitable for a wide range of professional applications. It is ideal for connecting service hoses to core valve access fittings in refrigeration and air-conditioning units, ensuring minimal refrigerant loss during maintenance. In HVAC installations, it facilitates secure, angled connections, improving overall service efficiency. For automotive systems, it provides a dependable 45-degree flare fitting for fluid lines, such as brake lines, where an angled connection is critical. It also supports industrial fluid transfer in moderate to low-pressure gas and liquid systems, enhancing operational safety.
