Retrofit Adapter Set #3017 for Autos

This convenient retrofit kit simplifies the process of converting an R12 system to a 134a system. The kit includes a high-side small hole fitting, a high-side large hole fitting, a low-side fitting, and a system retrofit sticker, making the conversion a straightforward task.

The blue cap indicates the low-side, which on most vehicles corresponds to the larger refrigerant line. The red cap denotes the high-side. The low-side fitting will be made of aluminum.

If refrigerant is escaping from the blue (low-side) fitting, the fitting is likely too tight and should be loosened slightly to stop the flow of refrigerant. This adjustment will help ensure a proper seal and prevent any further refrigerant leakage.

The high-side small hole fitting is designed to connect to the compressor's high-pressure port, while the high-side large hole fitting is meant for the condenser's high-pressure port. These fittings are essential for establishing the proper connections during the conversion process.

The low-side fitting, on the other hand, will be connected to the evaporator's low-pressure port. This connection is crucial for the efficient circulation of the refrigerant throughout the system.

Once all the fittings are properly installed, the system retrofit sticker should be applied to the vehicle, indicating that the R12 system has been successfully converted to a 134a system. This sticker serves as a visual cue for future technicians or owners, ensuring they are aware of the system's configuration.

The simplicity of this retrofit kit makes the conversion process a straightforward task, even for those without extensive HVAC experience. By following the included instructions and guidelines, users can confidently convert their R12 systems to the more environmentally-friendly 134a refrigerant, ensuring their vehicles continue to provide reliable and efficient cooling performance.

Remember, when working with refrigerant systems, it is essential to follow all safety precautions and local regulations to protect both yourself and the environment. Proper handling and disposal of refrigerants are crucial to minimize any potential impact on the environment.
