Fieldpiece VC1G Valve Core Removal Tool with Sight Glass

VC1G is a tool for removing and installing service valve cores in HVAC/R systems. The built-in sight glass helps confirm the core is gripped before closing the ball valve and withdrawing the piston assembly.

What it's used for

• Removing and installing service valve cores in HVAC/R installations
• Visual confirmation of valve core engagement through the built-in sight glass
• Service work where removing the core improves flow during evacuation or system handling
• Servicing air conditioners, heat pumps, and refrigeration equipment with 1/4″ or 5/16″ ports
• Field work where better control at the service port is needed

Key features

• Built-in sight glass — allows visual confirmation that the valve core is gripped before disconnecting the tool
• Valve core gripper — holds the core during removal and installation, reducing the risk of losing it
• Ball valve — isolates the service port after the core is removed
• Comfort spinner handle — makes turning the spindle easier during repetitive service work
• 1/4″ and 5/16″ connections — works with standard service ports and mini-splits
• Deep vacuum rated — rated to 20 microns per source data
• A2L compatibility — tool materials are rated for modern A2L refrigerant service applications
