he product “Charge Port Hose End High -6 # -6 Air Con Weld On” is a component used in automotive and custom air conditioning (AC) systems. It functions as a permanent service port that is welded onto an AC line, allowing for refrigerant to be added or recovered from the high-pressure side of the system.Â
Here is a breakdown of the product description:
Charge Port:Â A service port containing a valve that provides a secure, quick-connect access point to the AC system.
Hose End:Â This type of fitting is attached to the end of a refrigerant hose. In this case, it features a threaded connection on one side for the hose and a weldable base on the other.
High:Â Specifies that the port is for the high-pressure side of the AC system. The high-pressure side runs from the compressor, through the condenser, and to the expansion valve. The high-side port has a different connector size than the low-side port to prevent mixing up the service hoses.
-6 # -6:Â The “-6″ (or dash-6) refers to the AN (Army-Navy) size standard for fluid-carrying lines. The size is measured in 16ths of an inch, so a -6 fitting is designed for tubing with a 6/16″ or 3/8” outer diameter.
Air Con:Â Indicates the product’s application is for an air conditioning system.
Weld On:Â This means the fitting is designed to be permanently welded directly onto a new or repaired AC line. This creates a strong, leak-proof connection that is highly durable, especially in high-pressure environments.Â
