What is a good reliable set of gauges/hoses for maintaining three private vehicles using R-134a?

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.

I bought the "Gardena 36004 Garden Hose Quick Connector Starter Set," which was $15.79 at Amazon Prime. You'll only need one of the adapters for the grinder, but it was worth it to get it at the same time.

Yes it is capable of recovering 134a and r12 with the proper manifold gauges

The best I've bought is a Flexon hose, sold by Costco. It's an industrial hose, lifetime gurantee, and only $15.99.

the shut off valve displayed is for 134a so any 134a hose should work but they also sell cross over fittings to connect tor12 or just about any way you want to go. there are to many ways you can go to talk about. good luck

Yes in short, I have a auto shop and I use my 3/4" goodyear hoses on a daily basis like 9 years not the only time I split one was last winter I let it freeze and the plow went across is and put a small gouge in it other than that you should not have any issues, and they work great with extreme hot water I use 160 deg and have never had a failure.

most popular auto parts stores can provide the hoses u will need. I was able to use the old ones.John P

If you are talking about a home split a/c system then this particular manifold gauge is not setup for that, and also I think the only systems that use R-134a are automobiles. The hose end fittings are also different.Hope this helps

Hose, tire chuck, teflon tape, assorted inflation nozzles. You will need to purchase quick couplings unless you are only going to inflate tires.

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!

R22, but to be sure check the data tag on unit. You would use the compound gage on manifold gage set. Refrigerant can be purchased online but vert expensive. Most will require a refrigerant license

Yup. Same thing here. They are just stock hoses. They are always terrible though. Invest in some good nommar ones

If you have an old valve-manifold set with gauges for putting R12 in an older a/c system these couplers have the male R12 Schrader-valve style fitting to attach to your old (R12) gauge set. Then you can snap the other end of the coupler on the R134a fitting on your car. I used them to convert my old R12 gauge set (2-gauges, 2-valves, 3-hoses) for use on the newer R134a systems. Worked fine. Only other thing you might need is a new style piercing valve for the small R134a cans. If your R12 gauges are marked with "normal" pressure/suction zones for R12 they will need to be corrected for R134a. Just do a search on line for correct pressure/temp data for R134a. Hope that helps.

You will need a adapter for the can from R-12 to R-134 and the hoses all come with standard R-12 fittings. What size those are I don't know but you are using all the R-12 fittings then you will be good to go. On a side note these are pretty good gages as long as you treat them like a instrument not a tool box tool.

It better?.. thus the kit is sold with a Gauge rated to test up to 400psi and that hose is supplied with the kit. I must assume that the kit should be supplied with the right hose to do the job. I have use it with my transmission, but under the 300psi level and had no problem with it so far.

A standard size air compressor hose. You can purchase one at a local builders supply or auto parts store. take compressor and let them match your coupling connectors.

The fitting that clips onto the low pressure port is plastic with metal spring balls that are used to grip the port. The fitting that is screwed into your bottle of R-134a is lined with plastic on the outside, but inside you can clearly see that the threads are metal. I have only used this gauge one time so far, but it worked well.
