It bundles two quick couplers (high and low), a double-ended removal tool, multiple valve cores for R134a and 5V1, and replacement dust caps — everything needed for routine HVAC service on compatible vehicles. Before use, confirm your vehicle’s valve core type and service-port compatibility to ensure a match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the kit avoid losing refrigerant during valve core service?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tools use a quarter-turn ball valve and a stainless-steel grabber rod to hold the core firmly while removing it, which greatly reduces refrigerant escape compared with pulling a core by hand. The quick couplers attach and seal to the service port so you can replace cores with minimal pressure loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eQuarter-turn ball valve mechanism for fast shutoff.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless-steel valve stem holds cores securely during removal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh- and low-pressure quick couplers create reliable seals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich valve types and vehicles work with this WADEO kit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit is built to work specifically with two valve core families: R134a and R12 style cores.

The WADEO R134A Valve Core Removal Tool Kit is aimed at automotive HVAC technicians and competent DIYers who service R134a or R12 systems and want a compact kit that reduces refrigerant loss and speeds valve-core changes. It’s ideal when you need spare cores and caps on hand, but it requires confirming that your vehicle’s service ports match the R134a\/R12 type before purchase. If you’re unsure about compatibility, contact WADEO support or consult a qualified mechanic to avoid buying the wrong tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Will this kit work on my car's AC system?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Only if your vehicle uses R134a or R12 style valve cores; confirm the port type with your dealer or mechanic first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does the tool prevent refrigerant loss during removal?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes, the quarter-turn valve and stainless-steel grabber minimize refrigerant escape but do not guarantee zero loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"WADEO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55166681973079,"sku":"B0BFQNZZ8N","price":37.32,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1050\/1524\/7191\/files\/wadeo-front-packaging-valve-tool-kit.jpg?v=1790370144","url":"https:\/\/britishgarage.co.uk\/products\/wadeo-r134a-valve-core-removal-tool-kit-20-core-r134a-r12-set-with-brass-quick-couplers-stainless-steel-stem","provider":"British Garage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
