Technical Data Sheet

The Series 31000 includes access fittings and valve cores designed for professional A1 refrigeration systems, offering reliability, mechanical precision, and regulatory compliance.

Manufactured from yellow brass EN 12164-CW614N or EN 12165-CW617N, components are available in both solid-bar machined and hot-forged versions depending on the required size and performance.


These devices are not subject to PED Directive 2014/68/EU, as they are considered pipe components. They are specifically intended for air conditioning and refrigeration systems using Group II fluids (non-toxic, non-flammable, non-explosive), including all refrigerants classified A1 according to EN 378-1:2008, such as: R12 – R22 – R134a – R404A – R404C – R407C – R410A – R502 – R507, as well as R30 – R123 – R141H – R245fa.


Sealing is achieved through a flared copper tube end, mating with fittings from Series 31000, 31001, 31002, or 31003. Where flaring is not permitted (per national regulations), the copper tube can be brazed directly into the socket of the adapter, using a flared copper washer (Series 31017/3) to ensure leak-free performance.


All components are built for high reliability:
Nominal pressure (PS): 45 bar (653 psi)
Hydrostatic test pressure: 65 bar, per PED (1.43 × PS)
Burst pressure: ?135 bar, in accordance with EN 378-2:2008 (3 × PS)


Fittings are available with SAE or NPT threads, compatible with most system layouts, and are CE certified.
 

Technical features:

  • Fitting body made of brass EN12164-CW614N or EN12165-CW617N
  • Copper pipe EN12735-1
  • Available thread types: SAE / NPT
  • Designed for professional A1 refrigeration systems

COMPATIBLE A1 REFRIGERANT GASES

HFC, HFO, and HFO/HFC blends: R404A, R407C, R410A, R507, R32, R134a
HFO e miscele HFO/HFC: R1234ze, R448A, R449A, R450A, R452A, R1234yf, R1233zd

Our Neoprene compound gaskets have been designed and produced to be compatible with group A1 refrigerant gases (as defined in ASHRAE standard 34).However, in consideration of the infinite application variables (pressure, temperature and mixing percentages), an application check on the system is always required.

HIGHLY ROBUST
Designed to withstand the mechanical stress of professional refrigeration systems, they offer reliable performance even after repeated service cycles.


MADE FROM BAR AND HOT FORGED
Available in both solid bar machined and hot-forged versions, ensuring excellent structural density, dimensional stability, and suitability for high-pressure use.

FLEXIBLE SEALING SYSTEM
Sealing can be achieved by flaring the copper tube, which is then joined with a nut from Series 31000, 31001, 31002 or 31003. Alternatively, where flaring is restricted by local regulations, brazing into a socketed adaptor is possible. In this case, a truncated cone-shaped copper washer (Series 31017/3) ensures proper sealing.

CERTIFIED PERFORMANCE
Series 31000 fittings are rated for 45 bar (653 psi) working pressure. Under hydrostatic test, they withstand up to 65 bar (942 psi) (1.43 × PS) per PED Directive. In burst testing, they exceed 135 bar (1958 psi), as required by EN 378-2:2008.

RECOMMENDED TORQUE VALUES (SAE)
To ensure proper sealing and mechanical performance, apply the following torque settings:

  • 1/4" SAE = 14 N·m
  • 3/8" SAE = 25 N·m
  • 1/2" SAE = 47 N·m
  • 5/8" SAE = 65 N·m
  • 3/4" SAE = 70 N·m
  • 7/8" SAE = 120 N·m
  • 1" SAE = 150 N·m
SAE J513-92 THREAD SIZES (ASME B1.1-89)
Compatible with flared copper tubes (both male and female versions):
  • 1/4" SAE = 7/16"-20 UNF
  • 5/16" SAE = 1/2"-20 UNF
  • 3/8" SAE = 5/8"-18 UNF
  • 1/2" SAE = 3/4"-16 UNF
  • 5/8" SAE = 7/8"-14 UNF
  • 3/4" SAE = 1-1/16"-14 UNS
  • 7/8" SAE = 1-1/4"-12 UNF
  • 1" SAE = 1-3/8"-12 UNF
