Review: Works flawlessly - This device is designed to tap into copper tubing 1/4, 5/16 or 3/8 inches diameter. It requires no extra tools as it has an allen wrench included. I used mine to tap a refrigeration system and the instructions were clear and the product worked beautifully. Despite its low price, the build seems solid.
Review: Good piercing valve - Valve was installed on the low side line of a refrigerator which was not cooling very well. It is easy to install and has been working well so far. I have not used a sniffer to test for leaks but a week after adding refrigerant and the refrigerator is holding the temperature well. I plan on buying a refrigerant sniffed and when I do, I will check the valve for leaks and if I find any, I will update the review. For now, it works perfectly.
