When I was a kid we lived next door to a dairy. (Back when our town still had milkmen.) The father of one of my schoolmates was one of the drivers. He showed me how they recharged the ammonia refrigerant in their trucks by hooking them up to a big tank with a hose with a fitting like that, but bigger.

Make sure it's hot AF outside, have the system running and in the same continuous video frame, show me the loss using the conventional hose connectors and then with these unique adapters. And are the orings unique in size to the adapters, thereby marrying me to this company for a $50 bag of $2.00 orings every few months?

@WaffleStaffel 4 часа назад

Unless your gauge is only servicing one refrigerant and you're keeping the gas in the hoses in between connections, you're loosing quite a bit more gas from the system by pressurizing the hoses when you connect them to the system than you are by just attaching the hoses and loosing a little hiss or spritz of liquid, aren't you? Unless you're _really_ slow when you screw the fittings on.

I like pepperage farms remember when we purged and pressure tested R-22 systems with R-12 because it was cheaper than nitrogen. Funny how the OMG R-12 is killing the ozone layer happened when DuPonts patent expired. I also remember then they came for R-22 using the same reasons, so R410A came out. It was said to be ozone friendly, safe for the environment etc. But here we are again, and R410A is evil, and we must replace it with R454B, its already stated that in 10 or so years we will need to replace R454B....do you see the pattern I see?

Lots and lots of units where there's not enough room to fit these due to bad engineering from the manufacturer not thinking about the service techs. Price is too much. Obviously the hoses must still fill up with refrigerant. So there may be less squirts upon connecting and disconnecting, there's still refrigerant loss in the gauges and hoses.

@wiley0714 2 дня назад

There have been designs like those before from about 10 years ago. The problem was when disconnecting if the Schrader valve is bad once you release the fitting, you're gonna have the refrigerant spraying out. With the low loss fitting, as your unscrewing it outside of the initial spurt of refrigerant if for some reason, you detect a more constant release, at that moment, you have the potential to realize that the Schrader valve might have stuck. At that moment, in time, he won't be in as bad a position as you would, as if you just detached the quick coupler and had a dead spray of refrigerant coming out into your face . From what I have been able to tell and I am no engineer by any means is that the standard quarter inch connectors tend to be a piece of brass that screws on and pulls a nylon cone against the valve to seal it. The anti-blowback/loss fittings Are basically the same thing except instead of having the nylon cone they use the same thing that those fittings use which is an O-ring to seal when they are tightened.

@stevencoleman4149 2 дня назад

You're looking at around 3 oz of refrigerant per hose loss every time you connect a manifold set with standard length hoses. Do that enough times and you ARE the leak. Yes, you could disconnect the high-side and pump the gauges down but you're looking at possible contaminants or a non-condensable unless you bled your manifold first. Anytime you open a system to check pressures there is going to be a loss, the idea is to limit that as much as possible. When I got to the point, I needed to check super-heat or sub-cooling I had over the years, built multiple sets consisting of only of high and low side gauges dependent on the equipment connected directly to a low loss access fitting. A simple Cooper electronic thermometer with decent set of clamp-on probes will with those gauges tell you everything you need to know and the refrigerant loss is much less than with a manifold even if it's properly bled and pumped down. Here is where I piss a lot of people off, why did you open that system to install a manifold in the first place? If you've got a good TD, compressor amps are in a narrow range of 80% FLA , you KNOW the coils are clean and airflow correct and there are no odd noises or vibrations what are you looking for? TD will point you toward airflow, capacity or refrigerant, compressor amps will point you to refrigerant, or an electrical/mechanical issue. Unless something is pointing you in that direction why are you opening a system?

Spot on! WHY IS THIS SO HARD FOR SO MANY TO UNDERSTAND? I have tried to drill this into younger techs for 30 years, sometimes with effect but mostly not. I still battle it and the techs say they do it because the home owner expects it. Which tell me I need to get them trained in explaining why they don't need to hook up unless their is an issue, they can gather all the info needed if their isn't an issue without hooking up. Sometimes I am told they do it because the customer expects it, thus more training is needed so the can educate the costumer on why and when to hook up or not.

@UtwoBed 2 дня назад

Shoot, I've been using a set of those for over 5 years. But be aware, when you pop off that high side the O-Ring is going to fly out, so keep it close to the fitting or put a rag around it, also it does not like to go on if there is pressure in the hose.

@jsd21hb День назад

Okay so cool idea but that just made me think of an idea... why not just use pressure transducers to read pressures with out a manifold, so no long line set and you just want to see what pressures you're seeing in the system. Maybe make it so the low side has a port to add refrigerant so then you wouldn't need to disconnect anything and no loss at all....

Nothing truly revolutionary, just a variation on already good systems for a fraction of the cost.

Unless you have an actual problem with a unit, it is no longer considered good practice nor even necessary to check an a/c unit's refrigerant charge. You are better off only checking temperatures of the air intake and out, temperature of the lines, and temps in and out inside. And instead of these tools, you should use Accutools's valves that first attach to the lines, then attach your measurement tool, then they have screw valves that then depress the shraders to allow refrigerant in. Even then, only one is really necessary for the liquid line, and if you use probes, will not lose any siginificant refrigerant that needs to be fed back into the system.

@@diyhvacguy maybe if a person was doing something else entirely, but not in that instance if they are wearing the proper gloves which only currently cost $17 and have lasted me nearly 2 decades.

Dude, DIY HVAC? Just like the geniuses on FB market place trying to sell jugs of 22. Also, and I learned this old school. Fancy quick connects have a habit of either not being able to be used due to space limitations or mangled threads. As well as that O ring is the only thing holding in pressure. Which might run you into some trouble on higher pressure systems. I would doubt that you can use those gauges reliably knowing that O Ring could fail leading to a catastrophic release. Mechanical connection is the only logical choice, which will prevent such a loss and by your 608 if you remember, you are liable for anything other than a "de minimus" refrigerant release.

Gloves are cheaper.

Gloves can do a lot more harm than good. The last thing you want is your glove soaking refrigerant and freezing to your hand

As nice as they are...$200?!?!?! Doesn't seem worth it for something that doesn't seem time tested...Similar fittings for an air compressor are like $5
