Refrigeration Series


FASTER® quick-release couplings RF series have been specifically designed to be used for air conditioning, refrigeration and other applications with refrigerants. Suitable for medium operating pressure, RF couplings have flatface valves: neither spillage nor air inclusion during connection and disconnection.

RFL Series Heavy Duty Female Refrigerant Coupling Features The RFL series was added to FASTER’s product line to address those customers needs for a traditional refrigerant coupling that is easier to connect and capable of hundreds of connect/ disconnect cycles. Refrigeration couplings can be difficult to connect and disconnect. The reason is the high friction between the body and union sleeve. This friction is typically so high you need to use wrenches to connect. FASTER’s RFL Heavy Duty female coupling uses patent pending technology to dramatically reduce friction and provide the leverage needed to connect against pressure by hand. Substitute the Standard Duty RF Series female with the Heavy Duty Series RFL female and gain the ability to connect refrigerant lines under pressure. The RFL Series also allows you to connect/ disconnect under full operating pressure to 300 to 500 cycles depending on lubrication and system conditions. A wrench is only needed for final torque! Interchangeable with RF Series and competitive couplings. Contact FASTER for more details. UL Listing in process. View the Catalog (1,518 KB)

RFLS Series Wrench-less Refrigerant Coupling Features The new FASTER RFLS Wrench-Less coupling uses a unique and patent pending low friction connecting mechanism, combined with a double lead thread to allow the operator to connect refrigerant and fluid lines, without the use of tools and while under pressure. It only takes 2 turns of the double lead sleeve to complete the connection. When the low profile coupling is properly threaded together, a color coded ‘Locking Sleeve’ automatically snaps in place. The coupling can not be inadvertently disconnected. The RFLS can not be operated in a partially connected position if the safety sleeve is locked in place. The unique low friction sleeve imparts virtually no twist to any hose used with the female, so damage to connecting hoses is eliminated. UL Listing in process. View the Catalog (1,518 KB)

RF Brass Self Sealing Refrigerant Coupling Features Brass body construction for added corrosion resistance. Ideal for Mobile Air Conditioning & Refrigeration , Cryogenic Refrigeration Systems and Electronic Cooling systems. Thread together latch system allows connecting and disconnecting under system pressure. Flush style valves eliminate refrigerant spillage and air inclusion upon connection and disconnection. Special stainless steel Delta shaped seal provides a secure seal while coupled, assuring less than .10 oz. / year leakage (R22 equivalent) or (<2.8 grams / yr.). 2 piece body construction allows connection to copper and stainless steel tubing without damage to coupling seals. Available in, 3/8” configurations. Contact FASTER for other sizes. Adapter configurations available for straight tubing, tube fittings and 37° JIC (ISO 8434-2 fittings). Seals available: Neoprene, HNBR, EPDM and Viton. Field repairable. View the Catalog (1,518 KB)

RF-CS Series Refrigerant Coupling w/ Copper Sweat Connection Features Ideal for Commercial Refrigeration systems or other AC&R applications where connecting a pre-charged remote condenser to the evaporator can speed installation or where periodic maintenance requires the evaporator to be temporarily disconnected. Thread together latch system allows connecting and disconnecting under system pressure. Flush style valves eliminate refrigerant spillage and air inclusion upon connection and disconnection. Integral copper sweat fitting allows brazing directly to system copper tubing, eliminating an adapter. Special stainless steel Delta shaped seal provides a secure seal while coupled, assuring less than .10 oz. / year leakage (R22 equivalent) or (<2.8 grams / yr.). Available in 3/8”, ½”, ¾” and 1” configurations. Interchangeable with competitive couplings (see Cross Reference list). View the Catalog (1,518 KB)

M 201 Series Multifaster Refrigerant Multi-connection System Features Multifaster M201 series is RF Type couplings integrated into a multi-connection system ideal for portable air conditioning or split refrigeration systems or where rapid installation and disassembly is desired. Allows rapid and simultaneous connection of liquid and suction lines without the use of tools. Flush style valves eliminate refrigerant spillage and air inclusion upon connection and disconnection Patented Dual-Cam lever assures uniform connecting and disconnecting, preventing inadvertent loss of refrigerant. ½ turn from fully closed to fully open for easy connections. Reference pins prevent accidental cross connecting of lines. Versions with built in electrical connections possible. Contact FASTER for details. View the Catalog (1,518 KB)

M 202 Series Multifaster Refrigerant Multi-connection System Features The M202 Series is an extension of FASTER’s popular M201 series but made for larger systems. The M202 is configured for suction line sizes up to 1” paired with a 3/8” liquid line. As with the smaller M201 Multifaster, the M202 incorporates RF Type couplings into a multi-connection system ideal for air conditioning or split refrigeration systems or where rapid installation and disassembly is desired. Allows rapid and simultaneous connection of liquid and suction lines without the use of tools. Flush style valves eliminate refrigerant spillage and air inclusion upon connection and disconnection. Patented Dual-Cam lever assures uniform connecting and disconnecting, preventing inadvertent loss of refrigerant. The M202 requires just ½ turn from fully closed to fully open for easy connections. Reference pins prevent accidental cross connecting of lines. Versions with built in electrical connections possible. Contact FASTER for details. UL Listed: File SA13163 View the Catalog (1,518 KB)

M 204 Series Multifaster Refrigerant Multi-connection System Features The M204 Series shows FASTER’s capability to incorporate electrical connections into a refrigerant Multiconnection system with a 3/4” suction coupling and a 3/8” suction coupling. The M204 incorporates RF Type couplings into a multi-connection system ideal for air conditioning or split refrigeration systems or where rapid installation and disassembly is desired. Allows rapid and simultaneous connection of liquid and suction lines, as well as electrical connections without the use of tools. Flush style valves eliminate refrigerant spillage and air inclusion upon connection and disconnection. Patented Dual-Cam lever assures uniform connecting and disconnecting, preventing inadvertent loss of refrigerant. The M204 requires only ½ turn from fully closed to fully open for easy connections.

BV Series Refrigerant Services Valves Features The new FASTER BV Series brass shut- off valve is used in split air conditioning and refrigeration systems to allow shipping of pre charged condensers as well as to provide for system evacuation and charging. The front seat configuration of the BV series valve can be closed to isolate the condenser from the line set and evaporator for servicing and charging. The BV Series is offered with copper tube stubs for easy copper to copper brazing. Multiple tube configurations and sizes are available to meet the Original Equipment Manufacturers custom tube needs. Multiple service port positions are also available to meet mounting needs. Designed for R410a pressures. Please contact FASTER for complete technical details. UL Recognized Component File SA13163.

FFC Series Self-centering Coupling Features FASTER’s Self Centering series of couplings are intended for applications in removable plates and fixed manifolds. The FFC Series is designed to provide for misalignment when mounted into suitable housings designed into OEM’s equipment. These couplings are able to compensate for misalignment during connection of ± .5mm on the XY plane and ± 1°on the Z axis. Given this level of misalignment, the coupling “self centers” the internal valves by way of a patented devise, so seals fully recover optimum sealing characteristics for best leakage resistance, once full connection has been achieved.
