A/C Manifold Gauge Shkalacar Brass for HVAC Pros

Description

Product Overview

The Shkalacar A/C manifold gauge set is engineered for durability and precision. Its core body is forged from premium brass, offering resistance to corrosion and wear in demanding shop environments. Three high‑quality rubber hoses, each color‑coded—red for high pressure, blue for low pressure, and yellow for the refrigerant can—are rated for a working pressure of 500 psi and a burst pressure of 2500 psi. The large, easy‑to‑read panel displays both PSI and ℃ units, allowing technicians to quickly interpret system conditions. Included in the package are a 3‑way gauge, three hoses, and a universal adapter, all fitting within compact dimensions of 9.25 × 7.09 × 2.95 inches and weighing just 2.24 lb.

Usage

Designed for automotive and residential HVAC service, this manifold gauge excels in diagnosing air‑conditioning systems, refrigeration units, and heat‑pump circuits. Whether you are servicing a vehicle’s A/C, troubleshooting a home split system, or calibrating a commercial chiller, the gauge’s wide refrigerant compatibility—R410A, R22, R134a, R32, R12, and R502—ensures accurate pressure monitoring across applications. Professionals appreciate the quick‑connect fittings that reduce setup time, while DIY enthusiasts benefit from the clear scale markings that eliminate guesswork during leak detection and system charging.
