Review on FJC KIT6 Vacuum R134A Manifold by Eric Ross

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good pump/sensors for the price with quick delivery

I needed to fill up with an R134a after replacing some AC components on my Jeep. I've never done this before, so I found I need a pump like this with gauges to get it right. After some research and shopping I found this one which was $100 for a pump and a decent set of gauges with hoses and quick disconnects. I usually only buy items that ship from Revain's warehouse because Prime is fast, but I didn't have that option. I was pleasantly surprised that the seller shipped it quickly and used Fedex which was delivered to me within 3 days of ordering. The product looked very good except it was covered in oil. The description says it doesn't come pre-filled, but apparently that's not the case. I had to spend time cleaning to wash off all the oil. On the plus side, they provided a separate oil reservoir. Everything went well and I was able to pull the vacuum out and hold (pump out) for an hour for the first vacuum test. After my system passed this test, I ran the pump for another hour to clear the system of condensation and it worked great. Can't comment on reuse or durability as I've only used it once, but I've been happy with it and would recommend it to other DIY enthusiasts.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Upgradable
