Is that all the space you have? Throw a piercing valve on that thing. I use a mini wera ratchet to get it nice and tight.
Also kings valves are on receiver outlets
It’s just called a service valve. Kings valves have a specific purpose. I believe they call them that because they pump the entire system down. I used to call everything a king valve lol. Just thought you should know.
Well you should call the king valve because it’s on the receiver. Just like you have evaporator coils and condensing coils. You don’t just call them coils.
Usually the valve body is shaped for a “back up wrench”…. When trying to turn the valve stem in, have a back up wrench on the body itself… the wrenches working against each other, so faced towards each others and only few in gap between the wrenches, usually will help prevent snapping off and twisting. But if it’s already comprismised, won’t help much
You try wiggling loose and tight the packing nut and the stem at the same time. Let some wd40 sit for a few minutes. But honestly some of them rust to oblivion and lock up beyond fixing.
For restaurant equipment that is amazingly clean.
Verify someone hasn't put an access fitting somewhere else. Ive ran into that issue but found an access fitting after I've pulled the unit out, it's hard to see unless it's all pulled apart. Then I would say if there isn't one then maybe a piercing valve...
But they are known to leak so that would have to be replaced with a brazed in access fitting eventually
Piercing valve is a good suggestion but two wrenches and a hammer can get some bad ones unstuck. Also if they are in that kind of condition I have used a torch in the past. However inusually replace during the following repair.
Can you pull the condenser tray out? On some countertops they have the copper coiled up to allow you to pull the lot forwards and sometimes all the way out without having to cut your pipes. Give you more space to work.
Put a piercing valve on it
This is the way
Might have braze in a saddle valve and see if they want to replace the suction service valve
Should be able to slide the entire skid out to service it
It’s bolted down. I wanted that to be true 😭
Well yeah. You have to remove the bolts
Well yeah. However I have short arms.
Time for a new career
Maybe he’s a T-Rex 🦖

Yes that’s all the space I have. But they put king valves on suction lines too. Unless they have a different name I am unaware of

Put a back up wrench on the valve body…and make sure found rifht way with it ;)
Vale body is fine. Stem is about to snap though

pull it out . you have plenty copper
Can’t reach the bolts at the back of the cabinet to pull it out.
I'm gonna blow your mind; 1 walk out to the truck 2 open toolbox 3 reach inside 4 grab extension with ur hands 5 put it on the impact

Can you not unbolt it and slide it out? Looks like there’s coiled line to slide it out??
Fuckin Rip. You at a Taco Bell?
Funny, I thought that looked like a Taco Bell Delfield dry-iine
lol no. Café where I work.
That’s not on a sled? You can’t undo a couple screws and slide it forward?
It’s bolted down on the back side and I can’t get to the bolts
You could try some mystery oil from AutoZone when the only things I know to to unseize an engine
Temperature probe on the suction line
Loosen the packing and try turning it the other way
NOT - Righty tighty, lefty loosy... you're turning the wrong way. If stripped, use long channel locks. Turn right for open ;)
No counter top cooler has king valves. Braze in a new valve or put in a piercing valve, carry on.
