Enviro-Safe 3226 Can Tap with Gauge - R-134a can to R-12/R-22 port

So far so good working perfectly I’m recommend

I bought a can of R-134a refrigerant that had a hose and gauge - but this one was more precise, and the quality was much better. Used with the piercing valve and was able to recharge my refrigerator myself, saving hundreds of dollars!

Just refilled my stand up freezer. Manufacturer has updated the seal on the valve end. I had no problem with this working with a self sealing can. The gage could be a little larger to make it more readable, but other than that it worked great.

good product .

Received my gauge today. Connected the can tap to a can of walmart brand supertech r134a, then connected the other end to a factory installed service port valve coming off the compressor. Turned on the freezer and the gauge went down to near -18 inHG (in the green zone). Ran the can tap down into the can of r134a and backed it out and...NOTHING! No refrigerate came out! Had to run the tap in and out about 5 times until finally the refrigerate started entering the system. From there I just followed the YOUtube video method of letting the system sip the refrigerate very slowly until I had about 4 lbs of pressure on the gauge. That was at 10 am. By 3 pm today the freezer is below 0 F! All things considered, I found the gauge to be of good quality. The hoses are crimped well and the fittings seem to work just fine. Note: I think the can tap is having a hard time because some cans of r134a are now "self sealing" and it is hard for the tap to make an adequate puncture (maybe?). Anyway, very happy with my purchase. Fixed my freezer for about $20!

I bought this to recharge a refrigerator that was not keeping the freezer section cold (verified no frost in freezer compartment and no freezer sensor issue). I paired it with a can of pure 134a refigerant that had a self-sealing valve on it. The new self-sealing cans ARE designed to be backward compatible with piercing taps, so it SHOULD work out of the box. However, the problem is the green washer used in the can fitting is way too thick. Way way too thick (if youre reading this, Enviro-safe, please consider changing the green washer part you use out for something thinner). First, I got the blue adapter that's so popular, which didn't work because it was still TOO THICK. So in desperate need of a cold freezer, I decided to modify the product to make it work. To other customers who run into this problem: In order to have it work with a new self sealing can, all I had to do was remove the green rubber washer from the tap, cut it in half height-wise (which sounds hard, but squeeze it with a pair of pliers, cut gently through it one side at a time and peel the bits away as you go. took about 5 mins to do with a dull knife). After doing that and putting back in the now thinner washer (still plenty thick to seal the can), the tap worked perfectly without needing any other adapter. I am going with three stars, which part of me feels like is still pretty generous. It works just fine as a piercing can adapter, if they still sold piercing cans. Like I said, the new cans should work with these old style taps, if the taps have enough travel from out to in. When too thick of a washer is used, they don't. In the USA, all cans are sold now with self sealing valves which is a much better can design, since theres no wasted product if you only need a partial can, AND the valve opens slower making recharge work safer/easier. The maker of this product really should be aware that they created a design flaw and correct it, which would be very easy for them to do.

I had purchased a used refrigerator with a 13 month warranty. It stopped cooling after about 6 months, so I filed the claim with the company. They offered a settlement of $150, so I decided to take it. I'd paid $300 for the frig, but they said I could replace it for $150. Yea, right, but anyway, I'm a pretty handy guy and I'm retired so I decided to make it a learning experience. The frig was just used to cool my basement beer, it is not crucial. Got on YouTube and found a fellow that showed you how to use this exact part with a can of Freon to recharge coolant in a fridge, followed his instructions and voila', I fixed the fridge for about $20. If I have to add 2$ worth of freon every 6 months, I'm good with that. Hope you'll be as lucky as I was.

The Enviro-Safe 3226 can tap with gauge helped fixed my refrigerator when my refrigerator no longer kept cold. After weeks of troubleshooting the problem, I came to the conclusion that it needed freon. I have never performed this task before so I was very hesitant to give it a go. Finally, after watching a video of someone showing how to do it, I got the confidence to do it. Actually, its quite simple, and ordering the Enviro-Safe tap with gauge and R-134a freon, I was able to charge the refrigerator back to normal specification. Great tool. Its been 2-months and no signs of leaking and my 12 year old Frigidaire refrigerator is like brand new. Freezer temp. -9 to -1 degrees / refrigerator temp. 35 to 39 degrees.

Used this to recharge a fridge.

旧車のエアコンガスチャージで大変困っていたので、期待して購入しましたが、日本の規格では全く使えない商品でした。大変残念です。販売業者は国内使用が出来ないものは国内での販売をやめるか、きちんとその旨説明をつけるべきです。
