The pipes that transport refrigerant gas in the air conditioning system have a unique fastening system at the connection points. It is a type of quick connector consisting of a ring that, once engaged in its housing, holds the connection in place, even under high pressure.

To disconnect this joint, you need a specific tool: a plastic open ring that can be inserted into the pipe and, when pressed into the connector housing, loosens the grip and allows for disconnection.
