What the hell are they talking about?

 

[autoace]

Hanz and Franz did their advertising. It strong, like bull, crush walnut. yum!

 

[Moose-LandTran]

I have absolutely no idea what you two are on about..

 

[Merkava_4]

Did you click on the link Moose? As far as what autoace said ... I haven't the slightest either.

 

[autoace]

The yellow boarder said "Strong, like crushing walnuts with bare hands", I noticed the phrase changes everytime I click on it though. What did you mean, the fitting size?

 

[Merkava_4]

I copy/pasted it this time:

49841 3-1/8" R/B gauges TITAN unit, 1/4" charge,
R-12/22/134a 72" HAVS

49842 3-1/8" R/B gauges TITAN unit, 1/4" charge,
R-12/22/134a 120" HAVS

49846 3-1/8" R/B gauges TITAN unit, 1/2" Acme charge,
R-12/22/134a no hose

49847 3-1/8" R/B gauges TITAN unit, 1/2" Acme charge,
R-12/22/134a 72" HAVS

49848 3-1/8" R/B gauges TITAN unit, 1/2" Acme charge,
R-12/22/134a 120" HAVS

[Merkava_4]

Are they talking about the threads on the manifold where the hoses thread onto, or are they talking about the threads on the hoses themselves?

 

[nissan_crawler]

The hose going to the tank/vacuum pump.

I would go with the acme threads, its the choice of "super geniuses".

I think the Acme is the one for 134a-those big red and blue fittings.

My last post is incorrect. The red and blue gizmos are called couplers at Yellow Jacket. I have their catalog and two of their charging sets - I'll see if I can find the answer tomorrow.

 

[Jbullfrog]

They are referencing the fitting size on the end of the hoses. Acme is a type of thread with square edges. The vaccum or "yellow" line of 134a gauge manifolds has a 1/4" Acme threaded female end.

134a manifolds use a snap ball coupler like an air chuck to connect with the system that is being serviced.

They are referring to the size/type of the hose fittings. The "R-12/22/134a" stands for the pressure/temperature scale, printed on the face of the gauges.

Thank you all for the answers ... I appreciate the help.

I would say that gauge, *****, here why, you have different refrigerants.., you will have cross contamination ,(blended refrigerants)
