A/C Quickcaps: The Simple Solution That Stops A/C Leaks for Good
Inventor, A/C Quickcaps
Every technician knows the story: A vehicle leaves the shop blowing cold air, only to return weeks later with another A/C problem The culprit? Tiny refrigerant leaks at the Schrader valves and refrigerant leaking past traditional plastic caps that are just dust covers. These leaks waste time, money, and refrigerant – and they’ve been accepted as “just part of the job” for far too long
That’s exactly what A/C Quickcaps set out to change
Developed and patented by A/C Quickcaps inventor Frank Petrosino, this innovative cap system delivers a permanent, leak-proof seal for automotive A/C systems Traditional plastic caps only act as dust covers and can’t contain high-pressure refrigerants A/C Quickcaps replace them with a precision-engineered, pop-on design that seals instantly, stopping leaks before they start.
Each A/C Quickcap forms a secondary seal at the service port, ensuring no refrigerant escapes – no matter t h e c o n d i t i o n s T h a t m e a n s f e w e r comebacks, cleaner air and more satisfied customers
