Is this a r12 set with 134a adapters ? If so the black gaskets that seal the hoses cannot tolerate 134a freon? Where the hoses designed/constructed for 134a?

Yes it is an R12 set with 134a adapters. As far as I can tell there has been no hose degradation from using it with 134a.

Hi Tomas. This set is designed to read R12 and R134a. The set should only be used on one or the other. R12 and R134a are not compatible.

I use this set on 134a systems only. Never had an issue with the hoses nor the brass fittings. Great product.

This is an R134 set with R12 adapters back. The gauges have R134 and R12 scale. This would indicate that they were manufactured for R134 tolerance. The hoses are also imprinted R134/400psi/4000psi burst. Yellow hose has no valve. I added a ball valved pigtail to my set.

Mine did not come with a hose. I suggest you by the hose with a single gaugeas the gauge lets you know if the amount of freon is to low, or in the correct range, or to high.

No, this one does not work. Use the refrigerants listed, R22, R34A, and 404, only. Need separate piece for R410A.

I would like to make this as clear as possible for anyone interested. The yellow hose on my gauges, which is of the size that fits a normal 134a can tap, will not fit my vacuum pump for whatever reason. The pump fitting is too small. This adapter threads on to the vacuum pump fitting, and your yellow hose fits on to this adapter.

Not sure what you mean wrong side. I used mine on an A/C Manifold guage set for R22. The blue connector has got to go to the low side, and the red connector to the high side. If your guages are not colored, the low side is on the left. You will notice that the blue connector will only fit on the low side of an R134a system. The low side guage will have -30, which you watch when vacuuming down, to check for leaks before recharging. I am not familiar with other type of guages, so take what you have to an ac place and they will tell you what to do, I finds them pretty helpful. Mine went right on, no problem.

The only one specifically stated to not use it on is R410a. It should work fine for R134a.

I had the same issue at first. I bought a manifold set off of amazon that was sold as an FJC but it turned out to be a cheap knock off. The hoses were all for R-12 not R-134. The quick connects for the high and low pressure side were 12 to 134 adapters and the only can tap that would fit the yellow line was an old R-12. I sent the cheap gauge set back and purchased an Interdyne AC Pro set and it works perfect.

it's 3/8" male flare, not sure the thread pitch. if it is for R-134a refrigerant you will need VA-LH12 Air Conditioning Conversion Adapter Kit

It should. I am under the impression that all R-134a system use the same Schrader valve that this kit fits, and is not the same fittings as on the previous freon systems.

This particular set is for R22. For cars using R134a you need a set that has the special automotive quick connect adaptors on the hoses. This set is only good for older residential air conditioners.

The hose side with the screw top, is attached to the can of R-134, the other end of the hose fits the low side of the A/C. Make certain this fitting is tight. then turn the handle of the valve till it pierces the seal of the can of R-134. The Freon will then flow from the can to the A/C fill port.

Thank you for your question in regard to the tank converter. The purpose of this converter is so that the 134A 1/2" ACME thread can be converted to SAE 1/4" R12. R134A tanks or 12oz can will have the 1/2" ACME thread and R12 will have the 1/4" SAE threqd . Commonly, these converters are used when R12 manifold gauges are used in place of R134A gauges if that is what is on hand or the vehicle serviced is a retro fit and using R12 gauges is preferred when filling the A/C system with 134A . The original R12 14 oz cans were 1/4" SAE thread and the newer 134A 12 oz cans are 1/2" ACME thread . The same is for the tanks of R12 and R134A . So , in order to physically make connection with R12 manifold gauge sets , vacuum pumps or other equiptment with R134A freon or any 134A fittings ( equiptment or vehicles ) , the R134A / R12 converter must be used. Conversely , there is also a converter for the opposite , from R12 1/4" SAE to R134A 1/2" ACME if R134A manifold gauges or equiptment are used. There are even adapters for different service couplings ( r134a or r12 ) when alternating gauges accordingly. Primarily , anytime an R12 and R134A thread must be joined , these two thread measurements must be taken into consideration for the proper adapter to make connection on gauges , hoses , vacuum pumps and equiptment , vehicles , ETC. Hope this explanation serves to clarify the converters purpose and further explain A/C service equiptment use.

the product has 134 fittings but your vehicle will have R12. I bought the adapter hose with the gauge for $12 here on Amazon and it worked perfect. Hope you all the best!

Yes, but the fittings for the R12 systems are a different size so you will need an adapter.

Never attempt to recharge thru the pump. No additional hose is necessary if you have a 3 hose kit w/gauges (Blue/Yellow/Red). After obtaining a full vacuum you should Close the valves (usually Blue & Red) on your hose kit then Disconnect the pump vacuum line (usually Yellow) and attach it to the can using the correct adapter for your R-134a or R-12 can. The adapter is used to pierce the can and allows for storage of any unused refrigerant. Open the valve on the can then open the Blue valve to recharge following the instructions with your hose/gauge kit. Remember to close the Blue valve when you change cans or you will discharge the refrigerant you just added. Sorry if this was a bit more than you asked but maybe it will help someone else as well.

Hi, I purchased this coil to be retro fit to my HERMS brewing system. It did not come with fittings nor gaskets. These you can purchase for around $25. for the pair. Good quality and works great for my system

Bloomington, MN and yes this one works for 134a.(Yellow Jacket 49987 TITAN 4-valve Test & Charging Manifold *F R-22/134a/404A )Thanks,Shurail HVAC952-884-8266
