    I have Robinair tried and true. I have been using their produces for 46 yrs. Also inherited my dad's equipment. Yeah strange. My brothers ares commercial drives. I turned out being an HVAC tech. Yes freon is much more expensive then it was before 134a came in to existence. Once the EPA restricted purchase of freon and made us all get certified. Which I think is a good thing.People really need to know what they are doing. Great video. Buy the yellow jacket. It's a good set. A really good set will cost from $200 and up unless you get lucky. All my equipment is Fieldpiece,Yellow Jacket, Robinair. Thing is I trust these brands. My Robinair vaccum pump is made right here in the USA 100% is old but still looks new. Take care of your tools and you can pass them on to the next generation in you family that wants to be a HVAC technician.

    Can you make a video teaching us subscribers how to recover refrigerant from a vehicle without using a recovery machine, please?

    HFC stands for Hydrofluorocarbon which is the compound that makes up R-134. R just means “Refrigerant.” CFC stands for Chlorofluorocarbon and HCFC stands for Hydrochlorofluorocarbon. All compounds in different refrigerants.

    What do you use to recover the refrigerant before vacuum?

    • @RicardoHernandez-rf9qf
      @RicardoHernandez-rf9qf 4 роки тому

      Is a special machine, also you need an extra hose and a tank to do that, it is not as easy as it sounds, but it's doable

    you can use the "134a" gauges with r12. Doesn't matter if they read in psi, bar, or kg/cm squared. The only difference between gauges is the temperature scale. You don't need to have the temp scale on the gauge. You can just get a chart or graph that tells you the expected pressure at various temperatures. Of course you won't need the quick coupler adapter at the end of the hoses, so just take them off. And the $30 China-made gauges I bought aren't any worse than the Robair gauges I bought for $75 in 1987. The both had imperfectly cut threads where you screw on the hoses. The gauges themselves on the Robinair don't seem to be any better quality. The only reason I bought a new gauge set from China is that I figured my old hoses, and the o-ring seals at the ends, were probably decomposing, and it was no more expensive to buy a set of gauges than to buy new hoses and o-rings. My Robinair $275 1.2 cfm vacuum pump - also a piece of poop. The threads in the exhaust port were not cut well and would have shredded the plastic plug that goes into the hole. For less than $100 I can get a 3 cfm pump from Harbor Freight.

      @alexg-m6e 4 роки тому +1

      Clifford Rice Recovery machines are not cheap indeed. Lowest prices price I could find was slightly over $400 and you need to get a recovery tank as well (about $80). Do you know approximately how much shops usually charge to recover refrigerant?

      Clifford Rice But that is NOT what Mark Galan asked you. Your video did not mention the evac system. You ducked Mark’s question. He did NOT ask you where to take your car to get the AC evac’ed. He asked you why you didn’t have an evec system in your video. And in future videos please just get to your point. Please cut out all the chit-chat. You’ll get TONS more views.

That's my question cause I don't think I have a leak on my SUV ac system it has freon but not enough. But mine has a dual ac in the sticker under hood it says single this many freon and dual this many.
