High-Pressure Valves

Schrader Pacific high-pressure valves are constructed of stainless-steel bodies and are intended for use in high-pressure air-charged units, such as shock absorber struts, hydraulic pressure accumulators, surge cylinders, and pneumatic systems. These valves have a special feature that warns of unreleased air pressure when the valve is being separated from the outlet. Valves have ½ʺ-20 UNJF-3A threads for connection to container. Contact Schrader Pacific for further information on military and commercial adaptations.

Schrader Pacific high-pressure connectors are available in multiple configurations and handle air pressures up to 15,000 psi. They can be fitted to gaging and inflating devices by a variety of methods. Various angles permit easy attachment to hard-to-reach valves.

Note: Due to the variety of operating conditions and applications, the customer is responsible for performing testing to ensure performance and providing safety and warning requirements for the intended application.

Valve Cores

A valve core is a spring-actuated, cartridge-type check valve assembly that screws into a mating threaded cavity (housing).

The valve has a soft elastomeric sealing washer and an extended actuation shaft. When the actuation shaft is depressed, it forces the pin to move off the valve core’s housing seat, allowing flow to pass through the valve. The core assembly has an external static seal to prevent leakage between the valve core and the mating cavity it screws into.

There are a number of options for customers wishing to purchase valve cores in both the OEM and aftermarket sectors, as shown in the part tables on page 5 and “Selecting a Schrader Pacific Valve” on page 8.

Most Schrader Pacific valves have threads and bodies with a standard exterior size allowing for use of universal caps and tools. A Schrader Pacific valve can be used to control air, nitrogen, R12, R22, R134a, R1234yf, halon, SF6, and many other fluids.

Remember that the valve core is a mated pair working in collaboration with our high-side charge and low-side service ports. Our valve cores are designed, validated, and manufactured for optimal performance with our charge and service ports. Please review our Valve Cores Brochure, AC Valve Application and Installation Manual, AC Housing/Cores Matrix – R1234yf and AC Housing/Cores Matrix – R134a for more details.
