Couldnt get the yellow hose to screw into this tap. Do you think my hose or gauge set is wrong? The low and high fits 97 CRV, its R134. Seems like the hose thread is short and doesnt catch the tap threads.....

If your manifold gauge set is an R12 set , you will need an adapter such as the FJC 6015 to reduce the 134a 1/2" acme thread to 1/4" thread used on R12 gauges. Amazon.com has it for $6.99 , which is the best deal w/free shipping. Your objective is to thread the adapter with the large female side on to the tap 1/2" acme so you may thread the yellow charging hose 1/4" r12 female onto the 1/4" male side of the tap. Hope this helps

The inner threads would not work on my trailer connection. I changed the trailer to the newer fitting so it would work sense all the propane tanks now are the newer larger outside fitting. The smaller inter threads would not work, It was like the threads were the wrong size at least on the one I received. The inter fitting is called a Qcc1 and the newer Larger outside fitting is called POL.

Actually I had the same exact problem. I had to straighten the hose and razee unit then it worked. Good luck.

Mary I had the same problem until after doing some home work I found out that I had to buy the mounting bracket based on if you have a short or long water pump on your engine. It turned out I have the short one and bought that bracket. Problem solved. hope this helps

The quick connects are meant to threqd on to an r12 manifold gauge that will connect to r134a ports. If your vehicle is original r12, you will have to get r134a adapter ports that thread onto the r12 ports to use these quick connects. Then , once the system is charged , you can either remove them and put the r12 caps back on but you are supposed to leave them in place (with the r134a sticker) to show your system has r134a and is in compliance for inspection. The 1/2" acme thread x 1/4" SAE adapter is to use an r134a can tap and to connect it to an r12 manifold gauge yellow charge / vacuum hose. Of course , the quick connects will thread onto the high (red) side hose and the low(blue) side. The adapters will only fit on the correct port, and the quick connects will only fit on the correct adapter. It is foolproof so mistakes are eliminated. Hope this helps

I do not know, but I think I have found a answer to the problem I was having, use barbed 5/8 connectors instead or normal water connectors. the 5/8 connectors kept breaking the hose as if being to big, I will be using very hot water make the hose slip on to the barbed connections

You have everything you need ,but doesn't have gauge to tell you pressure. Found out my unit was converted so put 134a in and is cold now. If you don't have to use adaptor it has been converted. So really only needed to spend $10.00. Check to see if its been converted.Buy 134a if hose fits its been converted

It's a standard hose thread, I've used it on a number of different attachments and connectors. I don't know that one specifically, but if it's standard hose thread, you're fine.

I did the same thing, filling race tires with a standard hose and quick connect. It's been some time, but I recall having to put the regulator in to my vise, gently/carefully, but it did break free eventually. I looked at adapters, I seem to recall some issue with those.

id check the vacuum lines . i mixed up the one one for the EGR valve when i reassembled mine and had a miss-fire . they are color coded and it was a simple fix

I have this in-line gauge, between the pump and the valve. I've noticed the cheap pump fights the tire pressure when trying to read it with the gauge. Not sure I like the pump; I suspect it is the pump/gauge that's the issue - not necessarily the 90 adapter.

I have no idea, I'd call Rheem Tech support. They were very helpful during my install. Personally, I don't think pressure variations would be an issue, but who am I to know?

I bought an assembly that consisted of a piercing valve for the R 134A can on one end of the hose and the screw fitting for the line tap on the other with a vacuum/pressure gauge in the middle. Honestly it looked like the ones you can find at local auto parts stores. take the line tap to Auto Zone or Advanced Auto

I have a 97 tercel thought the same thing at first, for my lighter it was just a tight fit worked. but worked when I put in.

This didn't really work for me with a screw-on supply hose. I didn't try it with anything else. So, it probably works best with a clip-on or push-on. The threads are there mainly to emulate the normal valve stem, I think.

I bought mr heater hook up kit #F271239 then I took my hose & the valve/red handle to local hardware store said I need to connect this to this cost $2.22 for the right fitting... NO MORE PROBLEM...........

This is an R134 set with R12 adapters back. The gauges have R134 and R12 scale. This would indicate that they were manufactured for R134 tolerance. The hoses are also imprinted R134/400psi/4000psi burst. Yellow hose has no valve. I added a ball valved pigtail to my set.
