Fieldpiece VC2G Valve Core Recovery Tool 1/4

Description

Product Overview

The Fieldpiece VC2G is a compact, lightweight valve core recovery tool designed for professional HVACR service. Weighing just 14.4 ounces and measuring 2 x 3 x 6 inches, it fits comfortably in a technician’s pocket or tool bag. Constructed from durable alloy with a magnetic cap, the VC2G securely holds the valve core set during service. It features an integrated sight glass that lets you visually confirm core engagement and refrigerant flow before removal, reducing guesswork and preventing leaks. The tool is vacuum‑rated to 20 microns and fully A2L compatible, making it suitable for modern low‑global‑warming‑potential refrigerants.

Usage

Designed for field service, the VC2G excels in residential, commercial, and industrial HVACR environments. Technicians can quickly swap a standard 1/4″ service port for an optional 5/16″ fitting when working on mini‑split systems, saving time on each job. Its compact size allows use in tight engine bays, rooftop units, and confined service panels. The magnetic cap ensures the core set stays attached even when the tool is inverted, ideal for mobile service vans and on‑site repairs.
