Built from copper and durable rubber, the assembly is intended for hobbyists and technicians who need a portable, easy-to-use tool for low-side charging and diagnostics. The gauge face includes combined temperature\/pressure scales for R12, R22 and R134a so you can interpret readings quickly without separate charts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I connect the can tap and hose safely?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAttach the self-sealing can tap to an R134a refrigerant can using the 1\/2\" Acme female thread, then connect the 1\/4\" SAE male end to the 51\" charging hose.

The gohantee R134a Recharge Hose with Gauge suits DIYers, fleet mechanics, and HVAC hobbyists who need a portable, no-puncture can-tap solution for low-side refrigerant refill and quick pressure\/temperature checks. It’s ideal when you want a straightforward, durable hose-and-gauge kit for topping up R134a or for cross-referencing R12\/R22 values, but it is not a complete multi-line manifold for advanced repair shop needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Is the can tap a puncture type or self-sealing?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: The can tap is a self-sealing 1\/2\" Acme female R-H thread type, not a puncture opener.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Will this gauge read R134a pressure and temperatures?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes — the 200 PSI gauge includes a blue scale for R134a and rings for R12\/R22 temperature references.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"gohantee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55166804296023,"sku":"B085VY3RHD","price":35.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1050\/1524\/7191\/files\/gohantee-front-packaging-recharge-kit.jpg?v=1790371639","url":"https:\/\/britishgarage.co.uk\/products\/gohantee-r134a-recharge-hose-with-gauge-51-inch-ac-recharging-kit-low-side-gauge","provider":"British Garage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
