Lichamp vacuum-rated valve core removal tool for R410A/R32 — solid brass, 20-micron vacuum, dual flare fittings

Lichamp's vacuum-rated valve core removal tool is a precision brass extractor designed to remove and replace valve cores on R410A and R32 refrigeration systems while maintaining deep-vacuum integrity down to 20 microns.

This compact tool combines vacuum-rated performance with universal fittings so technicians can evacuate, charge, and recover refrigerants without compromising system integrity. Engineered from solid brass with a non-slip knurled grip and a magnetic base, it fits common HVAC service ports (5/16" female flare and 1/4" male flare) and is optimized for confined workspaces. It is not intended for automotive A/C systems.

How does this tool preserve a deep vacuum during service?

The Lichamp tool is built and rated for vacuum use to 20 microns, so it seals reliably while you evacuate or recover refrigerant. Precision machining and a secure flare interface reduce leakage paths that can ruin a vacuum pull.

• Vacuum-rated design verified to 20 microns for deep evacuation.
• Tight brass machining minimizes internal leak points.
• Dual-size flare connections maintain sealed service connections.

Will it fit the fittings on my HVAC or refrigeration equipment?

Yes—this tool includes a 5/16" female flare and a 1/4" male flare connector to work with the majority of residential and light commercial HVAC and refrigeration service ports. Those two sizing options make it versatile with manifold hoses and common port sizes used for R410A and R32 lines.

• 5/16" female flare connection for larger service ports.
• 1/4" male flare connection for standard manifold hoses.
• Designed for refrigeration and air conditioning, excluding automotive A/C.

What features help me work faster and avoid lost tools?

Ergonomics and a magnetic base reduce frustration on busy jobs. The knurled grip offers secure handling in oily or tight spaces, while the magnetic base keeps the tool attached to metal surfaces to prevent misplacement during multi-step procedures.

• Non-slip knurled grip for controlled extraction in confined areas.
• Magnetic base for quick placement on metal panels and condensers.
• Adjustable valve stem for precise engagement with different core types.

How durable and maintenance-friendly is the construction?

Made from solid brass and precision-machined, the tool delivers smooth, repeatable valve-core removal without damaging valve seats. Its simple, robust design requires minimal upkeep—clean and store dry after use to prolong performance.

• Solid brass body resists corrosion and stands up to repeated use.
• Precision machining ensures gentle, accurate core extraction.
• Easily cleaned; store away from moisture and corrosive chemicals.

Who this is for: HVAC and refrigeration technicians who service R410A and R32 systems and need a compact, vacuum-rated valve core tool that reduces refrigerant loss and speeds service tasks. This tool suits field service techs, maintenance teams, and contractors who work on residential and light-commercial systems—note that it is not compatible with automotive air-conditioning systems.
