Review on Robinair (15195) Combination Inlet Tee Fitting: R-12 and R-134A Compatibility Explained by Brett Cat

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Suitable for retrofitting older pumps

Rebuilt old vacuum pump (actually a scientific high vacuum pump, overkill for refrigeration work but very fast and thorough) to use twin fittings . This is a replacement for Robinair pumps but can be adapted to fit many other pumps. This fitting features an internal check valve that prevents a system under vacuum from pumping oil from a vacuum pump that has been turned off or has lost power. This is a great feature, but it ultimately reduces the ultimate vacuum that a powerful pump can achieve. No valves are installed on Schrader/Acme ports, so an unused port must be plugged. There are no laces on the lids, so be careful not to lose them.

Pros
  • Combo fitting 1/4" male x 1/2" ACME inlet
Cons
  • Slightly dented
