Good to hear!

I may be wrong, but was under the impression that R 1234yf systems had unique fittings and that R134a charge hoses would not attach, precisely to prevent...

worse, air can be compressed, but will not condense (at sane pressures), so pressure and heat just keep building. An A/C system relies on the fact that...

[Cornbinder89]

Hard to answer without pressure readings. It does sound like something is plugged up. May be a crimped line no one noticed when the condenser was changed?...

Like the price hike when R 12 was phased out, they are starting to do the same with R134a. I was announced over a year ago that there was going to be...

Nothing I've heard of. I don't know what is required for R 1234yf and hope never to need to know! I wouldn't use it, As you have already shown it can't...

I wouldn't think that is right. It sounds like some crimped heater hose on the A/C fittings! I'd send them back, The suction side can see pressure below...

[Cornbinder89]

Yeah, that is what it should be for R12. Your question is a valid one, just no way to answer it. That is another problem with these "so called"...

As I understand it, it is a mixture of 134a and R290 (propane) R 134a is around 26 @32 deg F and R290 54 psi @ 32. SO what to you set it at? I have...

30 oz sounds like a lot. I thought I read somewhere that like 134a when you change to 152a from R12 it takes less by weight. I can't find where I saw...

That is the beauty of devices that control the evaporator temp by controlling the pressure, the refrigerant will not get colder than the boiling temp...

Yep, get the little adaptor for the smaller R12 fitting, it converts to a std 1/4" flare, remove the valve core on the 14" end and install a...

Shortcuts, Likely didn't have the fitting i stock, so left it off. Only cars used a "funny" high side fitting, everything else (Heavy truck/...

No way I know of to install a fitting on a charged system. You could use an R12 hose attached to your gauges to read the high side, but unless you have...

When charging by weight, 134a should be 75%-80% of the R12 weight, so you may be a little overcharged. Also 134A also required a lower POA valve setting,...
