can you used r-134 on compressor ac 15-20189

My car, a 93 Caprice 5.7, originally had r-12, but when I replaced the compressor with the AC 15-20189, with Pag 150 oil all worked well with R-134Al. I used an 80% charge of R134A with the new compressor, dyer, and the aftermarket condenser. The compressor didn't come with a high pressure switch though.

Yes, R-134a can be used with this compressor. All the seals and gaskets are compatible with R-134a on modern compressors. However, I wouldn't convert a R-12 system to R-134a. I thought about this myself, and after much research, decided not to do it. R-134a just doesn't perform as well in systems designed for R-12. Plus, to do the conversion correctly and prevent future problems, you would have to have the system flushed with expensive chemicals to eliminate the mineral oil in the condenser and hoses. In addition, R-12 has come down in price recently, try craigslist or Ebay.

yes has to be converted which is very simple but don't know the details how this was done. our compresor is definitely on r134 now

Yes no problem. Im a shop owner and have an 80 gallon compressor for work. This unit is great for home use.

Unfortunately this manifold is only for HVAC systems and not automobile 134a / r12 refrigerant gas. You have to purchase Uniweld Model QAL5SM or QAL5SMA in order to use with R134a.

Not sure but if the inlet to the compressor tank is the same size and the small tube from the compressor is the same, and the electrical connectors are same (110VAC, 220Vac) and the pressure switch high setting is the same it should work. Hope this helps.

I use this set on 134a systems only. Never had an issue with the hoses nor the brass fittings. Great product.

It will take the same adapter that goes on an older car that has the R 12 freon. You should be able to get them at any auto parts store. It will just thread onto the fitting and the R 134 hose will snap right on. Just get the fitting for the low side charge port.

It should work. Verify the voltage and HP rating of the compressor to ensure it's the same as the 3n1 rating.

I don't think it will work for that air compressor since this is rated at 6 amp output while those compressors can easily need 10-15 amps. I'm not sure of the shipping issues (I'm not a seller).

Yes the one I bought I used it with my shop compressor. You just need to keep the pressure regulated under 41lbs. or it will blow off the ends that connect it. Happened to me once no big deal really I just pushed it back on and kept the pressure down and works for me.

Hello Charles, This compressor does not fit that model. If you could provide us with the VIN, we will be happy to ask the manufacturer and link you to the correct product.

According to the sears parts look up for you model the KK-4835 will work on your compressor. Go to Amazon and put in KK-4835 and you can save some money. Much cheaper there. I got mine at Amazon. Hope this helps.

I really can't answer for sure but since every low side service port I've ever seen changes with the type of refrigerant in the system I'd have to say that the connectors that come with this item won't fit something using R410a. In fact according to my research on a quick online search it seems that R134a uses a 1/4" connector while R410a seems to use a 5/16" connector but adaptors are available so the same injector can work on R-12, R134a and R-410a systems.

It depends on the kind of refrigerant you,re using in the system. Example: R-12, R-22 is best using Mineral Oil. R-134A, R-410A is best using a polyolester (POE) oil. Check your equipment for a label telling you what oil to use. Don't ever use a lineset that had Mineral Oil in it and add POE oil without completely flushing the lineset with something like RX-11. I always run a new lineset unless it isn't possible.

Yes it is an R12 set with 134a adapters. As far as I can tell there has been no hose degradation from using it with 134a.

The short answer is "Yes". Air compressor fittings -- how they connect together -- are typically standardized as "1/4 inch", as are the fittings in this kit. So this kit is not meant for use only with a C-H compressor. The Rockworth specs state that it has a 1/4 inch outlet (where the hose and other fittings are connected). So this should not be any problem.

If your a/c system is r134a, it will work. If it is r12, you would have to changeout the QDs on the tool

Never attempt to recharge thru the pump. No additional hose is necessary if you have a 3 hose kit w/gauges (Blue/Yellow/Red). After obtaining a full vacuum you should Close the valves (usually Blue & Red) on your hose kit then Disconnect the pump vacuum line (usually Yellow) and attach it to the can using the correct adapter for your R-134a or R-12 can. The adapter is used to pierce the can and allows for storage of any unused refrigerant. Open the valve on the can then open the Blue valve to recharge following the instructions with your hose/gauge kit. Remember to close the Blue valve when you change cans or you will discharge the refrigerant you just added. Sorry if this was a bit more than you asked but maybe it will help someone else as well.
