I sent mine back . Could not find any adaptor that would work with hoses I received. Valves did not seal well.

yes a Santech R134a cylinder adapter MT0432 or FJC 6015 R134A Refrigerant Tank Adapter

Really need to be bolted to concrete "pad". But I guess if you "buried the base in the ground, that would work. No adapter necessary.

I did not need one it should work without an adapter. If you haven't already purchased the unit I would advice against it, it's a piece of crap with no support when it fails and it will fail.

No, you will not NEED it, but you may want it. If your new canner has came with a gauge, then you already have the 15 lb weight and you can pressure can at 10 lbs of pressure by adjusting the heat (at 5K feet you probably won't be canning at 5 lbs much). This weight can be used instead of using the gauge (instructions say to ignore the gauge if you use this weight). The 3 piece design allows you to can at 5, 10 or 15 lbs more reliably as the weight will rock at the predetermined pressure as opposed to over pressurizing (up to 15 lbs) if you get the heat too high and don't turn it down.

I purchased adapter for my old vacum pump which was a 5/16 for R12 and now can use for the R134 which is 1/2 which saved me from buying a new vacum pump.

What you are describing is what I did with my Ranger pick up truck and why I bought this item. This item fits the tops of the Envirosafe cans which are the same as R134a cans. The threads on some of these cans are not perfect, they make millions of these cans and quality control on them isn't perfect. I found if you make sure not to cross thread them, they will work, even though you need to use extra force to make sure you get a good seal with the seal inside of the valve on this item. As far as the needle making a perfect seal for storage of the extra refrigerant in an unused can, you can't bet on it. It will hold for a while, but for how long, who knows? I think if I need to do it, this is what I will do. I think if you leave the valve on the can, of course, then connect the hose to the manifold of a gage set and the gage valves are closed securely, with all connections tight, I think this should work. The can tap with gage and hose assembly fits R12 fittings and others like on house AC, plus you can get adapters to go from R12 to R134a fittings. I also have ordered R134a right angled adapter fittings, so it will possible to also use this can tap on R134a systems. Servicing AC IS complicated, but it is a lot less so after you get into and also do some research. Hope this helps. By the way the right angled adapters of the R134a system, really do make things a lot more accessible. If you don't have a gage set, I would suggest a fitting that can be screwed into the end of the R12 fitting on this hose to block it off, IF the valve doesn't seal the can. This fitting would need to be soldered shut somehow. (I think I will do this myself. If you can't trust the valve, closing off the hose makes sense.)

There are 4 adapters but there is only one that you will need to convert to R134a.

Here's the link to their website: www.abcproducts.co.ukAs Joani states, you may need an adapter.

No. You will need a can tap and an adapter. The can taps for 134a do not have the 1/4 inch fitting that these guages have.

You could buy an adapter but if you contact the seller they should work with you.They don't want a bad rating with Amazon.

No! The female (bottom) is sized 1/4 inch "FFL", it won't fit on a 12 ounce R134a can. You need an adapter that has both the female and male (top & bottom) ends sized to 1/2 inch ACME, and make sure the treads go all the way to the top, my can tap can't screw on if the adapter has a lip on it. I hope this helps.

You can use the adapter, but the smaller class 1 receiver is only rated for 200 lbs, so don't push it. Remember to include the weight of the carrier!

Nope.The a-mount is similar in size to EF mount. There is not enough space for an adapter.

Yes, but the fittings for the R12 systems are a different size so you will need an adapter.

Not with the supplied adapters. You will need an adapter from Lowe's or HD.

The adapter can be bought for it. I did that myself when I ordered the cooler.
