SEND US YOUR VALVE & ACTUATOR

Our EEV Tool will drive any 6-wire or 5-wire unipolar EEV if the pin wiring is the correct for our tool. We are looking for EEV valves and actuators from other VRF manufacturers for testing and, if necessary, to create a harness adapter. If you have an operating valve and actuator that you are not sure is wired for use with our tool, please send it to us. We'll pay for the shipping. We'll return it after testing and if a harness is required, we'll include one with your valve and actuator at no charge. Contact us at bld529.vst@gmail.com for details.    

Enhanced EEV Tool

  • 12 vdc, 6-wire & 5-wire, stepper motor controller. Currently tested and verified for use on LG and Samsung VRF and DFS systems but will work on other manufacturers' 12 VDC EEVs if the harness connector pinout matches.

  • Includes harness adapters required for use with Samsung & LG 5-wire stepper motors.

  • Increased battery mAh. Two 1300 mAh,9V rechargeable batteries with USB C charging harness included. Any USB port capable of charging other electronic devices is suitable for recharging the batteries.

  • Use to test/verify EEV power assembly (stepper motor) operation and reset to full open or full closed position. 

  • Drives EEV in either direction, open or closed.

  • All switches are located externally.

  • Detailed operating instructions and testing information included. Instructions also available online.

Used for LG 0-5 vdc pressure transducers.

​

Uses 3 vdc to verify PCB pressure transducer readings.

​

On multi- chassis systems, enables a

constant pressure reading to be inputted on a leaking ODU after it has been isolated from the system, allowing the remaining chassis to operate.

 EEV Block-off Tools

Temporarily replace LG EEV power assembly in an IDU or HR box to prevent refrigerant flood-back and allow the system to operate.

​

Includes one each, 5/16" and 1/2" EEV Block-Off Tool.

LEV Manual Drive Tool

3A.1 2nd.png

Use this tool to manually drive LEVs clockwise or counter clockwise. Typically, 15-20 turns of rotation is required to drive the valve full open or closed. 

​

The diameter of the EEV domes in the 3A boxes were increased early 2021.

 

Includes one ea. 3A and 3A.1 tools. The 3A tool fits the older size 3A LEVs as well as the ODU sub-cooling EEV. The 3A.1 fits the new size. Both tools are included.

About Us

At VRF Specialty Tools we have over 60 years combined experience in the service side of the HVACR Industry. The last 10 years have been devoted primarily to the service and repair of VRF equipment.

​

While the technology of the equipment itself is growing at a rapid pace, the tools required to efficiently troubleshoot and service the equipment has not kept pace.

 

VRF Specialty Tools began as a few small projects for our personal use in the field. Soon other technicians began asking us to make these same tools for them and so here we are today.​

​

In addition to developing new VRF specific tools, we also will be adding troubleshooting tips, videos and other information as time allows. Remember, we still have day jobs.
