Description
C&D Valve CD5060 is an ultra-miniature core depressor that lets you connect standard 1/4″ SAE hoses to 5/16″ R410A service ports and precisely control flow with a thumb screw. It’s tiny, tough and perfect for tight spots on splits and VRF gear—too easy.
Key Features & Trade Benefits
- 5/16″ F flare → 1/4″ M flare interface — hook standard hoses to R410A mini-split ports without juggling extra fittings.
- Reduced-size thumb-screw flow control — meter flow for charging, recovery or testing; safer and cleaner connections.
- Side port for 5/16″ M flare — convert a single service port into a dual/test port when used with access tees; speeds diagnostics.
- Brass, compact build — designed for tight quarters around fan coils and condensers; fewer knuckle-bashes, more productivity.
- Made in USA — durable hardware techs trust on commercial jobs.
Why This Product Matters
On a Friday arvo change-out, the wall-hung split only gives you a 5/16″ service port and zero space. With the CD5060, you’re straight on with your 1/4″ hose, crack the thumb screw, confirm pressures, then add an access tee for a gauge plus hose. Job done, no mucking around, and fewer call-backs. Browse our Core Depressors if you need other sizes.
Pro Tip
When converting a single port to a dual/test port, pair the CD5060 with a C&D CD9601 or CD9602 access tee. Tighten to spec, use fresh O-rings (CD5164), and a dab of Nylog to keep things leak-free—she’ll be right.
