Typically you see a hose connection used there that is the quick release style with valve/knob on the end that opens and closes the shrader valve while the hose is still connected.
Right now I am just using the adapter that screws on to the service port and has an internal bar that depresses the service port Schraeder valve; the adapter appears to have its own Schraeder valve as well. The blue hose screws onto that adapter and has a bar that depresses the adspter’s Schrader valve.

Hmm, I think what you described came with my vacuum pump/gauge kit. I gazed curiously at it just an hour ago. It doesn’t fit the service port at all though. Or the adapter.
