R134a to R12 Top Mount Can Tap W/Shut Off for Customers

This tap is identical to the #5000 model, but we have incorporated a fitting into the design. This modification allows for the use of a standard 1/4" 20 flare hose (compatible with R12, R22, and R502 refrigerants) in conjunction with this tap. It is important to note that this tap will not fit the R12 refrigerant cans, nor will it fit the new California-style refrigerant cans.

The inclusion of the fitting on this tap enables users to utilize a common 1/4" 20 flare hose, which is widely compatible with various refrigerant types, such as R12, R22, and R502. This flexibility can be beneficial for technicians and DIY enthusiasts, as it provides them with the option to use a versatile hose that can be easily sourced and connected to this tap.

However, it is crucial to be aware that this tap is not designed to be compatible with R12 refrigerant cans or the newer California-style refrigerant cans. This means that users will not be able to directly attach this tap to those specific types of refrigerant containers. This limitation is an important consideration for those working with different refrigerant systems or equipment.

Overall, this tap offers the convenience of a standard 1/4" 20 flare hose connection, making it a suitable choice for a variety of refrigerant applications. Nevertheless, it is essential to ensure that the intended use of the tap aligns with the specific refrigerant requirements and container types to avoid any compatibility issues.
