🟡 FJC 6527 Yellow 72" R134A Charging Hose: Efficient Refrigerant Charging Solution Review

Required if using cans from a car dealership or supermarket. Some gauge kits on Amazon come with a yellow hose with an automatic shut-off valve (not listed in the description) and this valve will prevent the system from loading properly.

I bought an A/C PRO GBM-4 R-134a Air Conditioning Pro inflation hose and pressure gauge and a yellow FJC 6019 R134A and FJC 6527 hose connector. Yellow 72" R134A charge hose. These three items have allowed me to use a 30 lb can of R-134a to charge the air conditioning system in my car. Much more convenient than buying lots of small cans of R-134a.

I've had good luck with all the FJC products I've bought. They offer great value for money with high-quality tools. This hose is no exception. I was pleasantly surprised that this yellow hose is less stiff than the FJC 72" yellow hose that came with the manifold kit I bought a while back. they are the same as the knurled and upset ends.

The valve allows you to evacuate and close the system when the hose is disconnected to connect the freon supply without losing the vacuum. It's a good idea to have a 134A can dispenser if you use small 12oz cans for refilling - preferably metal

bought this to replace my "black magic" charging hose which was leaking after about 20 years. Now I charge with a different setup so this hose is only used to evacuate the system which I only have to do every few years so seems ok for the price. It's 6ft long, my old one was 5ft so a little more range. It's larger in diameter, but at 600psi working pressure, 3000psi burst, it's less than my 750psi WP, 4000psi "black magic". BUT again, for the price this is normal for my needs. Oh, it has 1/2"…
