All of the can taps that had flare (acme) fittings on them were car size and wouldn't fit my home size gauge set. So I bought one of these:
I put access valve tubes just like the one in your unit on the ends of the hoses.
Now both halves connect right up to my gauge set. |
Jeff,
How did you get the copper tubes sealed into the tube?
The copper OD is a pretty good match for the ID of the hose..
But, the inside of the hose is smooth and the copper is smooth..
There is oil inside the tube,
w/ the clamp tight the copper slides right out!
I think the R410a is going blow that copper right across the room!
PS: I'm going to use the empty can to test for hose leakage..
Thanks,
Rich
