IT IS THE VALVE THAT LEAKS, NOT THE LINE. WHEN
CHARGING THE A/C, I NEGLECTED TO TURN ON THE ENFGINE, AND I GOT A HIGH PRESSURE WARNING. WHEN I DISCONNECTED, GAS AND OIL SPAT OUT OF THE VALVE. WHEN I TRIED TO CHARGE AGAIN WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, IT CHARGED NORMALLY, BUT AGAIN THE VALVE WAS INCOMPETENT WHEN I DISCONNECTED THE CHARGING DEVICE. I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO ORDER THE VALVE (DON'T KNOW WHAT CORRECT TERMINOLOGY IS). SEE ITEM ABOUT VALVE CORE KIT AND DON'T KNOW IF IT APPLIES TO
THIS OR HOW TO INSTALL IT.
DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR RESPONSE ABOUT CHANGING LOW PRESSURE LINE.
THANKS

WHY CAN'T I JUST RPLACE THE VALVE. I BELIEVE I DAMAGED IT BY DELIVERING A CHARGE WITHOUT TURNING ON THE MOTOR (AND THE a/c). GOT A HIGH PRESSURE WARNING AND WHEN I DISCONNECTED GAS AND LUBRICANT ESCAPED FROM THE VALVE. CHARGING WITH THE ENGINE ON WENT NORMALLY, BUT AGAIN VALVE WAS INCOMPETENT WHEN DISCONNECTING.
