AIR CONDITIONING ADAPTORS FOR HIGH FILL RATE SCHRADER-TYPE VALVES
MODELS AFFECTED: 1986 SOMERSET AND SKYLARK
There are some car models that use a high fill rate Schrader-type valve that contains a different valve. This valve requires a depressor that will depress it
deeper before the valve will open. This valve can be identified by looking into the opening. The depressor for the high flow valve is about three times as
long as the older valve. It also has a spring wound around it, while the older valve does not. Kent-Moore has the following adapters for service use.
J-25498-A
Straight Brass Adapter
- For use with both valves.
J-25499-A
90 Degree Brass Adapter

J-34122-A
6" Flexible Adapter

J-25498-2A
Valve Depressor
- Will convert older
adapters for use with both valves.
