Supco BPV21 Bullet Piercing Valve

Supco BPV21 Bullet Piercing ValveSo I was doing what most home brew enthusiasts do and I was trying to build a kegerator and accidentally cut the freon line, I called around and asked the fridge repair guys in the area and told me it wasn't worth fixing, well I got the mini fridge for free so I thought it was worth trying. I soldered the line and tested for leaks and tapped into the line using this product and had to create a vacuum by using an old air compressor that could reverse the pump then used the standard auto freon refill bottles and its been working for about three years now, now problems. this product works great and fits standard freon bottle refill connections.

I bought this item in hopes of tapping my low pressure side of a small refrigerator. I think I ordered the wrong one because the saddle part was too big, even with the spacer. I tried to use it anyway and only managed to pierce the tube without managing a tight enough seal to vacuum the system, and refill with freon and leave the valve in place.

I finally gave in and bought another small refrigerator.

No fault of the product...my error.

I still recommend this provider and their products. They were prompt, reasonable, and were of no error in this order.
