Yellow Jacket Yel 5 PLUS2 Hose 21060

The Yellow Jacket 21060 is a 5 foot yellow PLUS II charging hose.

Five feet is the most widely used charging hose length, offering enough reach for most field situations without excessive internal volume.

Refrigerant trapped in hoses is a real quantity worth accounting for. A set of three five foot hoses holds a meaningful volume of refrigerant, and when the hoses are disconnected that refrigerant is either released or must be recovered.

Release is both a regulatory matter and a cost. Refrigerant venting is prohibited under environmental regulations, and refrigerants themselves have become expensive, so the accumulated loss across many service calls is significant.

Low loss fittings address this by sealing the hose end automatically on disconnection, retaining the refrigerant in the hose rather than releasing it. The retained charge is then recovered or used on the next connection.

The alternative practice is to recover the hose contents before disconnecting, which takes longer but requires no special fittings.

Either approach is preferable to simply disconnecting and allowing the hoses to vent, which remains common and should not be.

Applications include refrigeration and air conditioning charging, recovery, and evacuation.
