Yellow Jacket Charging Hose 3 Red 22636

The Yellow Jacket 22636 is a 3 foot red charging hose for high side service.

Short high side hoses have a specific advantage worth noting: they retain less liquid refrigerant when disconnected.

The high side of an operating system contains liquid refrigerant at condensing pressure, and a hose connected to it fills with that liquid. When the hose is disconnected, that liquid flashes to vapour, and a longer hose holds proportionally more.

This is both a loss and a hazard. Liquid refrigerant released against skin causes immediate freeze injury, and the volume expansion as liquid flashes to vapour is substantial in a confined space.

Recovering the hose contents before disconnection, or using low loss fittings that retain the charge in the hose, addresses both concerns.

The three foot length also gives the least restriction, which matters if the hose is used as part of an evacuation setup.

Its limitation is reach, making it suited to accessible equipment and bench work rather than rooftop or confined installations.

Eye protection and gloves are appropriate whenever high side connections are made or broken.

Applications include refrigeration and air conditioning service, charging, and diagnosis.
