Bert interviews Tony Gonzalez at the Fieldpiece Booth at the 5th Annual HVAC/R Training Symposium about their exciting new line of VCRTs (Valve Core Removal Tools). Tony walks through the three models - the good, better, and best versions:
The VC1 is the basic model but with improvements like a swappable 1/4" or 5/16" fitting end and an enhanced capture mechanism so the valve core can't fall out.
The VC1G adds a sight glass so that you can visually confirm when the valve core is captured.
The VC2G is the premium model with the sight glass, plus an integrated micron gauge port and a comfort spinner to make removal easier against system pressure.
Tony highlights how these new VCRTs address major tech pain points, like not knowing if the valve core is actually out, valve cores getting dropped, and the struggle of removal against system pressure. The new designs provide confirmation, secure capture, and improved ergonomics.
He also discusses their new colored hose system with interchangeable color tags for easy identification of line sets. Plus, they're ahead of the game with fittings ready for the new A2L refrigerants coming.
