Review: This Line tap saved me over 120 dollars! - This line tap is PERFECT for sealed mini fridge units with R134A refridgerant. It does not leak, has its own pin valve and works with 3 different line sizes.. Perfect for what i needed. I popped my mini fridge when my impatient self decided to defrost it with a knife.. This was a rather large mini fridge that was my wifes before we got married and I felt kinda bad. After looking at direct replacements, I was finding them (fridge) to be about 120-140 new, and 60-80 on craigslist (that were in good condition, not repainted by some college frat LOL). So after a few months of thinking and kicking myself, I searched youtube and found out aboout these and how to charge a sealed system. So, i bought one of these, a car R12 to R134A adapter kit (i beleive it was the GM kit), and a Can of R134A at wallmart (the can was 10 bucks vs 15 at autoparts stores, and the adapter kit was 10 bucks). I already had the Recharge hose for a R134A can. I had to fix the hole first, which i used JB weld.. I did about 4 applicatons before it completely sealed. I tested the seal with some R134A after setting up the steps below and used a squirt bottle of soapy water.. when i had no bubbles, i was satisfied. I installed the adapter according to the youtube video on the Suction side of my compresor, connected up my fittings and opened my can a bit.. Then i turned on the compressor and let it go.. It took a bit to get flow out of my can because i didnt puncture it correctly, but once i did, the compressor's tone changed and the lines started to get cold. My mini Fridge only needed 2.8 Oz of refridgerant so i didnt want to leave it on long. Being my gauge was not correct for my application, i had to wing it a bit. After playing a bit with it and adding some more R134A as needed to get the lines in the cooling compartment colder, i finally got it and now my mini fridge is working fantastic again! So, for say 25-30 dollars worth of parts, I fixed her mini fridge and I gave myself a pat on the back for doing it.. Nothing amazing i know, but still. I like to save money.... Could have saved more had i not broke it in the first place, but lesson learned Review: Good Deal, saved the 9-year-old freezer the service guy told me to dump - Picture shows the freon level of our deep freeze before I recharged the system. Now it is humming along at 2psi and working great, thanks to this simple little device. The service tech told me that if the freon was low, I should dump our 9-year-old deep freeze and buy a new one. Then he probably realized he was talking himself out of a job and said the freon was probably fine but the start relay was broken and wanted $500 to replace it. I paid his service fee and sent him on his way. I found a start relay for the freezer online (about $45), and installed it myself. Basically, you unplug the old part, plug in the new part. While I was at it, I got a couple more parts that typically wear out on this model and installed them, too. All, plug and play. (A bit of unscrewing, but otherwise very doable for this 60-year-old gal. Lots of Youtube videos to help you!) The freezer worked after that but never got below 60 degrees, so it needed freon, too. This piercing valve was easy to use and with a can of 134A freon and a hose gauge, I added about 1.4 ounces and brought the PSI up to about 2. Now it is consistently below zero. So glad I didn't listen to that repairman. And if it leaks again, I'm all set to recharge it. I can do it, you can, too. ## Features - Manufacturer model # BPV31 - Genuine replacement part - Supco item - Whirlpool item ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00DM8J3MI | | Best Sellers Rank | #50,183 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #643 in Dryer Replacement Parts | | Brand Name | Supco | | Connector Type | Threaded | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (4,042) | | Exterior Finish | Silver | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00687152010769, 05053197011811 | | Included Components | Unit^Instruction Guide | | Inlet Connection Type | Threaded | | Item Dimensions | 1.5 x 2.5 x 3.5 inches | | Item Type Name | Bullet Piercing Valve | | Item Weight | 3.2 ounces | | Manufacturer | Supco | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Number | BPV31 | | Number of Ports | 2 | | Outlet Connection Type | Threaded | | Size | Single Unit | | Specification Met | Compliant with various industry standards and specifications | | Thread Size | 1/4" | | Thread Type | NPT | | UPC | 722651300932 733281627030 741812665420 717449096159 094700517555 741812665437 687152010769 674897878754 | | Unit Count | 12.0 Count | | Valve Type | Pressure Relief Valve | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Supco - **Exterior Finish:** Silver - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00687152010769, 05053197011811 - **Inlet Connection Type:** Threaded - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 1.5 x 2.5 x 3.5 inches - **Manufacturer:** Supco - **Material:** Metal - **Number of Ports:** 2 - **Outlet Connection Type:** Threaded - **Specification Met:** Compliant with various industry standards and specifications ## Images ![Supco BPV31 Bullet Piercing Valve, Silver - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7180QsqnIoL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: specs don't include hose connection type, can you clarify?** A: They sell a. Retro fit. That works with this. but what really attaches to it is r-22 /r-12 hose. **Q: Will this work on a dehumidifier that uses R410A freon ?** A: Supco makes an A1 (or SA1) for 1/4, 5/16, & 3/8 line tap with a max. operating pressure of 800psi for use with all refrigerants. Operating pressure on the discharge side of an r410a compressor can approach 600psi. Supco specifies a max. operation pressure of 500psi for the BPV31 line tap so it may work on the suction side, but will it hold up on the hi pressure (discharge) side during operation? Why take a chance...The product bulletin that comes with the BPV31 states it is not for use with r410a. FYI The SA1 has a built-in Schrader Valve whereas the BPV31 does not. **Q: can i use this on a 410a system? its on a ac on a travel trailer.** A: I contacted Supco on this question. They said the BPV31 can be used on the low side (suction) of a 410A system. For the high side, they recommended their "A1" valve. I did complain to Supco that none of their documentation on their web site for the BPV31 mentions nothing about not using the BPV31 on a 410A system. Hopefully they will correct this. **Q: will this work on a rv air conditioner to recharge with refrigernt** A: As others have said, it will work on any AC system with the same size line as the line tap. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Line tap saved me over 120 dollars! *by G***7 on May 14, 2013* This line tap is PERFECT for sealed mini fridge units with R134A refridgerant.
