Description of Robinair 43180 Aluminum Manifold Refrigerants

2-Way Solid Aluminum Manifold with Digital Gauges - hoses not included but available separately. Gauges are calibrated to measure 17 different refrigerants - R-12, R-22, R-123, R-124, R-134a, R-401A, R-401B, R-402A, R-402B, R-404A, R-407C, R-408A, R-409A, R-410A, R-502, R-507, and R-508B. These accurate gauges allow you to choose the temperature - degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius, and pressure units - PSI, bar, kPa and kg/cm3. The low-side gauge has a pressure scale of 30 inHg VAC to 250 PSI and the high-side gauge has a pressure scale of 0 to 800 PSI. Gauges come with a view enhancing backlight making information easy to read at a glance, even in low-light conditions

Efficient AC Tool for Automotive Use

After I put this aluminum manifold refrigerant to the test, I must say that it's one of the best air conditioning tools for automotive use. The gauges are accurate, the knobs are easy to turn, and the body is sturdy. It also comes with clear and concise instructions, making it user-friendly. However, it's a bit pricey compared to other models in the market. Nonetheless, I would still recommend this tool, especially for those who want to ensure their vehicle's AC system is in tip-top condition.

Pros
  • Durable aluminum construction.
Cons
  • Not compatible with some types of refrigerants.

Needs improvement. But it has some handy features. Durability is questionable.

The first set arrived broken. The suction sensor did not read. Sent it back and got a replacement. It seems to work. I like that the temperature equivalent is shown when selecting the correct refrigerant. Makes it easier to get superheat/subcool readings without looking at the P&T graph. Gauges are also easy to calibrate. I wanted the auto shut off to be longer. The sensors turn off too early for me, as does the backlight. Since the first set arrived broken, I'm concerned about durability. But…

Pros
  • sensors have an improved backlight, making it easy to read information at a glance even in low light conditions.
Cons
  • I don't remember.

I've only used them twice so far.

Accurate readings are important in refrigeration applications. I've used them twice and I really don't regret the purchase. I can switch the gauges to the 4 hose manifold I have. (I should have bought the sensors anyway. It's cheaper that way.) The batteries were DOA. never mind I keep AAA close. The set seems to work great. Don't forget to turn them off. I left them connected to the device and left them on when I went to the supply point. When I came back they were still on. I charged the…

Pros
  • Aluminum 2-way monolithic manifold with digital displays - hoses not included but available separately
Cons
  • Not for everyone
