Its automatic core valve operation and safety features ensure efficient and safe refrigerant handling, making it an essential tool for professionals. ## Description The Kwik-Coupler adapter set is intended for use with refrigeration and air-conditioning service hoses when connecting to core valve type access fittings. Conventional threaded connecting is converted to push-pull operation which is faster, easier and positive sealing at all times. Valve cores are depressed automatically without adjustments or loss of refrigerant. Disconnecting is also accomplished without loss of refrigerant. An automatic shut-off valve retains refrigerant pressure in a disconnected hose. This feature permits transferring high side hose refrigerant through the service manifold into the low side, thereby eliminating waste and hazardous high pressure discharge and atmospheric damage. ## Features - 90˚ Elbow Coupler (45° Flare) 1/4" female x 1/4" male - Automatic full depression of core valves without adjustment, regardless of core position - Coupler halves separately connect to access fitting and hose end, then easy push/pull operation automatically opens or closes system without loss of refrigerant - Automatic shut-off of hose ends permits discharging high side hose through manifold into low side - Eliminates hazardous discharge of refrigerant and oil from system when disconnecting hose ## Product Details - **Size:** 90 Degree, 1/4" - **Material:** Brass - **Brand:** Imperial Tool - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 6.5 x 5.3 x 0.6 inches - **Connector Type:** Elbow - **Exterior Finish:** Brass - **Thread Type:** NPT - **Number of Pieces:** 1 - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00699244210582 - **Manufacturer:** Imperial Tools ## Images ![Imperial Tool 17C Kwik-Coupler Adapter 90 Degree Elbow Coupler 45 Degree Flare, 1/4" - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51g5e4J73FL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Work flawlessly. *by M***I on May 7, 2025* I have been using the 1/4" version of this kuik coupler for many years with 100% satisfaction. This time my need was for 5/15" adapter for R410a. It would have been nice to be able just a 5/16" attachment instead of buying the whole unit.You would not regret this purchase. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seems good. *by P***R on January 27, 2021* So i took a chance on this product, here is a video of us using it at trade school the FIRST time. Nobody knew what this thing was. So far we like it tho you can see we didnt do a perfect job on the first try, i think this tool will prove to be a better alternative to the sealright fittings: only time will tell, i will update review after a couple months of use. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have used them for years and I like them *by S***N on September 3, 2021* Generally they work great. Do have some problems with them, but they are easy to remedy or work around. Sometimes refrigerant will leak between the nut; so I tighten the insert on the o-ring. Occasionally refrigerant sprays through the threads on the nut; then I tighten it a tiny bit more with pliers. Finally, once in a while the internal valve does not open fully which effects the pressure reading, but it will read correctly if I push the hose end of the quick connect body away from the side with the clip. Also, they don't work with king valves and I don't use them when evacuating the system. I realize that this may seem like a long list of issues, but all the other low-loss fittings I have used either release more refrigerant or have a much shorter effective life. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/40782425-imperial-tool-17c-kwik-coupler-adapter-90-degree-elbow-coupler](https://www.desertcart.be/products/40782425-imperial-tool-17c-kwik-coupler-adapter-90-degree-elbow-coupler) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
