Recovery & RecyclingQuestion 224 of 240
Low-loss fittings on recovery equipment help compliance by:
a.Cutting losses at hoses
b.Testing refrigerant purity
c.Cooling the cylinder
d.Increasing recovery pressure
Explanation
Low-loss fittings close off automatically to release as little refrigerant as possible each time you connect or disconnect hoses, cutting emissions on every job. They do not test purity, cool cylinders, or raise pressure. Using them is good conservation practice across all refrigerant work.
