PortMax™
High Flow Access Port System for Rapid Evacuation of HVAC-R Packages
Refrigeration's Largest Access Port for Maximum Flow
Speed up the lengthy evacuation process of large chiller, industrial & commercial packaged refrigeration systems --- 45% or more reduction in evacuation times compared to commonly used Packed Angle and Ball Valves.
The degassing/dehydration evacuation process is a common bottleneck when manufacturing large refrigeration systems, often taking many hours to complete. The use of small, flow-restrictive packed angle and ball valves is a major contributing factor that slows production Takt time during leak test filling, evacuation, and refrigerant charging processes.

Leak/Proof Test
PortMax™ Leak Test Tool for Quick Filling
- High-Flow Capacity: designed to pressurize and evacuate systems efficiently through a large 1/2" flow path.
- Ball Latching Mechanism (No TEE Handle): Simplified connection will not torque the plug.
- No Internal Valve: Maximizes flow rate for rapid pressurization and evacuation.
- Ergonomic Operation: Smooth ball and sleeve action for easy handling and a safety latch system ensures a secure connection and prevents accidental disconnection under pressure.
- Connection Port: 1/2" NPT media port for compatibility with standard fittings.
Evacuation
PortMax™ Evacuation Tool for Fast Evacuation
- High-Flow Capacity: Unobstructed flow path enables rapid evacuation.
- Ball Latching Mechanism (with TEE Handle): Handle retracts out of the flow path for full media flow. Provides torque to the plug for a secure system seal.
- No Internal Valve: Maximizes flow rate for rapid pressurization and evacuation.
- Ergonomic Operation: Smooth ball and sleeve action for easy handling and a safety latch system ensures a secure connection and prevents accidental disconnection under pressure.
- Connection Port: 1/2" NPT media port for compatibility with standard fittings.
Refrigerant Charge
PortMax™ Charge Tool for Safe Charging
- High-Flow Capacity: Unobstructed flow path enables rapid evacuation.
- Ball Latching Mechanism (with fixed TEE Handle): Fixed Tee handle mechanism eliminated pressure loading. Provides torque to the plug for a secure system seal.
- No Internal Valve: Maximizes flow rate for high flow applications.
- Ergonomic Operation: Smooth ball and sleeve action for easy handling and a safety latch system ensures a secure connection and prevents accidental disconnection under pressure.
- Connection Port: 1/2" NPT media port for compatibility with standard fittings.
