Any experts out there that can provide input?
yup they would, lots of sealed systems out there including the fridge in your house. different ways to service them, puncture valves that get soldered in place. when they are filled at the factory they just inject it into the copper pipe pigtails then crimp the ends when they are full, and solder then for the final seal. I know if I got stuff in that was low or empty I would just solder service valves on them.
