Review on πŸ“ Accurate and Efficient: Robinair TIF9020A Electronic Refrigerant Scale Explained! by Chad Dahl

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very satisfied Robinair/TIF Professional A/C Equipment

I bought a Blue Robinair Model 15600; 6CFM Vacuum Pump, 15 Micron, Enviro-Guard Manifold Kit, Robinair Model 48510, for R134A. Then I bought a Robinair/TIF9020A refrigerant scale. They are all made in the USA and are of excellent quality. The reason I bought this TIF9020A is because it is the latest model they offer. According to the Robinair tech team I spoke to, if something goes wrong, the old TIF9010A scale is beyond repair. Not that there's a problem with that, I'm more comfortable with products that can be repaired by the manufacturer if something goes wrong. So with the scale, I have much better control over the exact amount of refrigerant going into the air conditioner compared to the small 12-ounce cans that often don't come out completely and it's impossible to tell exactly how much is poured out. from the Can method. So a scale and a 30 lb bottle of Dupont Chemours R134a is really the most accurate way to go. As of 2018, you need an EPA 608/609 refrigerant license to purchase refrigerants over two pounds in the United States.
