Charging valves, commonly referred to as service valves or hose connection valves, are vital elements in fluid and gas distribution systems, utilized for controlling, charging, and purging lines. Suppliers in the UAE offer a variety of charging valves, such as ball, needle, and globe types, made from materials including brass, stainless steel 304/316, and carbon steel. The TLP charging valve is a very commonly used valve. These valves play a crucial role in connecting service hoses to systems for various applications, including charging refrigerant in HVAC-R units, adding hydraulic oil, or sampling process fluids. They are engineered to endure pressures of up to 6000 PSI and come up with different connection types (NPT, BSP, SAE) to satisfy the requirements of the oil and gas sector, industrial manufacturing, marine applications, and extensive MEP projects.
The services provided encompass technical assistance for valve selection, certifications for pressure testing, and prompt delivery of bulk orders to project locations throughout the Emirates, including Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, and Al Ain.
Typical UAE price range (AED):
• Standard Brass Charging Valve (1/4" to 1/2"): 25 – 150/pc
• Stainless Steel 304/316 Charging Valve: 80 – 400/pc
• High-Pressure Needle Valve (for gas/hydraulics): 120 – 600/pc
• Ball Type Service Valve: 50 – 250/pc.
Note: Pricing varies by size, material (brass/SS 304/316), pressure rating, connection type (NPT/BSP/SAE), brand, and order volume.
A charging valve, also known as a Schrader or service valve, is a specialized valve utilized for charging, evacuating, and monitoring pressure in air conditioning, refrigeration, and automotive AC systems.
Charging valves can be located at local hardware stores situated in industrial zones (such as Al Quoz, Dubai), specialized suppliers of AC components, and prominent online platforms (Amazon.ae, Noon.com).
It is possible. A common reason for refrigerant loss, which results in inadequate cooling, is a leaking or defective valve core. A technician can easily conduct a test to determine this.
The cost of the part itself is relatively low (ranging from AED 10 to AED 50). However, the overall expense, which includes labor and refrigerant recharge, generally falls between AED 150 and AED 400.
It is not advisable. According to UAE law, releasing refrigerants must be performed by a certified technician. Attempting to do it yourself can be hazardous, may damage the system, and is illegal due to environmental regulations.
