Final answer:
Only some refrigerant recovery devices need low-loss fittings.
Step-by-step explanation:
Only some refrigerant recovery devices must be equipped with low-loss fittings. These fittings are used to connect the recovery device to an appliance and can be either manually closed or automatically close when disconnected to prevent the loss of refrigerant from hoses. The decision to include low-loss fittings depends on the design of the specific recovery device.
