Low loss fittings are used to connect the recovery device to an appliance and are designed to do what when disconnected?

Low loss fittings are designed to keep the system sealed when you disconnect, so refrigerant isn’t released. They have an internal valve that automatically closes as soon as the connection is separated, trapping the refrigerant inside the hose and connection. This minimizes refrigerant loss to the atmosphere and helps meet environmental and safety requirements. They don’t primarily speed up recovery, filter impurities, or provide extra storage.
