Yellow Jacket Charging Hose 5 3/8" 16260

The Yellow Jacket 16260 is a 5 foot charging hose with 3/8 inch fittings.

Micron gauge placement is a point worth emphasising alongside large diameter evacuation hoses, because the two problems are related.

A micron gauge connected at the vacuum pump reads the vacuum at the pump, which is the deepest vacuum in the system. Any restriction between the pump and the system, hoses, fittings, Schrader cores, means the system itself is at a higher pressure than the gauge indicates. A pump reading a deep vacuum while the system remains far above it is a common and misleading situation.

Connecting the micron gauge at the system, on the far side of all restrictions, gives the reading that matters.

The isolation test is the other essential practice: with the target vacuum reached, the pump is valved off and the system observed. A vacuum that holds indicates a dry, tight system. One that rises and stabilises indicates remaining moisture. One that rises continuously indicates a leak.

Neither test is meaningful without accurate measurement at the right point.

Applications include refrigeration and air conditioning evacuation, leak testing, and service.
