Abstract

Extended adapters for a tool having a shut-off valve assembly used on pressurized refrigeration systems comprises: an extended rod assembly, a 4L adapter, a 6L adapter, a 20 degree offset adapter and a 90 degree adapter; the adapters couple the first opening and second opening of shut-off valve assembly; when the 4L or 6L extended adapter coupled to second opening of shut-off valve; wherein the extended rod assembly coupled to the adapter and adapted to couple the second opening, the extended rod assembly having a rod adapted to move through the passageway of the extended adapters and the shut-off valve when open, these adapters allow the valve core remover tool to function clear from obstructions.

Claims

1. A set of adapters and an extended rod assembly that works with an existing tool for pressurized refrigeration systems having removable valve core elements, comprising: an extended rod assembly, a 4 long adapter, a 6 long adapter, a 20 degree offset adapter and a 90 degree adapter; said existing tool having a first opening and a second opening and a shut-off valve, said shut-off valve having positions to open and close a passageway between said first opening and said second opening; said 4 long adapter threads to said second opening, extending said passageway of said shut-off valve; said extended rod assembly threads to said 4 long adapter; said 20 degree offset adapter, said 6 long adapter, and said 90 degree adapter threads to said first opening extending said passageway of said shut-off valve; said extended rod assembly having a rod to move through passageways of said adapters, when said shut-off valve is open, and engage with the said adapters to the pressurized refrigeration systems having said removable valve core elements, and said extended rod assembly further having a threaded portion controlling axial movement of said rod through said passageways of said adapters and said shut-off valve; wherein to provide said existing tool clearance from obstructions and the said removable valve core elements can be removed and replaced, while under pressure.

2. The adapter set as recited in claim 1 wherein said 4 long adapter comprises threaded fittings.

3. The adapter set as recited in claim 1 wherein said 6 long adapter comprises threaded fittings.

4. The adapter set as recited in claim 1 wherein said 20 degree adapter comprises threaded fittings.

5. The adapter set as recited in claim 1 wherein said 90 degree adapter comprises threaded fittings.

6. The extended rod assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein said extended rod assembly is configured to thread to said 4 long adapter threaded to said second opening of said shut-off valve.

7. The set of adapters as recited in claim 1 wherein said 6 long adapter, said 20 degree adapter, and said 90 degree adapter are configured to thread to said first opening of said shut-off valve.

8. The set of adapters and the extended rod assembly as recited in claim 1; wherein to provide said existing tool clearance from obstructions said removable valve core elements can be removed and replaced, while under pressure.
