Manifold Gauge Set - Typical

A manifold gauge set must also be used in conjunction with the charging and/or recovery/recycling device. Only use gauges that have not been used for
R-12. The service hoses on the gauge set should have manual (turn wheel) or automatic back flow valves at the service port connector ends. This will
prevent refrigerant R-134a from being released into the atmosphere.

R-134a refrigerant requires a special type of compressor oil. When adding oil, make sure to use the oil that is specified on the under hood label.

Due to the different characteristics of R-134a it requires all new service procedures.

The use of R-134a will have a positive environmental impact due to it's zero ozone depletion and low global warming impact.
