Description & Features

Designed for automotive and mobile A/C refrigerant systems, the E-Z Clip Series Fitting, 1-1/16-14 Female O-Ring (Short Pilot), -12 Hose, Straight With Charge Port (R12) provides a reliable, tool-minimized assembly method for -12 hose connections. The straight configuration includes a charge port for R12 refrigerant service, with a short pilot female O-ring end sized at 1-1/16-14 UNF thread.

Part of the Eaton Aeroquip E-Z Clip system, this fitting uses a clip-and-cage mechanism that eliminates the need for crimping equipment or a power supply.

Components are single-use and not intended for reuse after assembly.
