What is a charging valves with brass pin?
A charging valve with brass pin, also called an access or Schrader valve, gives a sealed service port on a refrigeration or AC system. A spring-loaded core opens only when a hose with a depressor is fitted.
Technicians use the port to charge refrigerant, read pressures and evacuate the system. A cap keeps it clean and adds a second seal.
