Specialist Hose Categories
R410A Specialist Hoses - 1/2"-20UNF
Japanese standard 1/2"-20UNF fittings designed specifically for high-pressure R410A air conditioning systems. These hoses handle the higher operating pressures of R410A refrigerant (up to 56 Bar) and feature the correct fittings for R410A equipment. Available in 90cm to 150cm lengths with colour-coded identification.
R1234yf Specialist Hoses - 12mm M
Automotive A/C hoses with 12mm M fittings for modern vehicles using environmentally-friendly R1234yf refrigerant. Required for servicing 2017+ vehicles and newer automotive A/C systems. Features unique fittings that prevent cross-contamination with older R134a systems. Available in blue and red configurations.
ACME Fitting Hoses - 1/2" ACME x 14mm
Specialist hoses with 1/2" ACME fittings for direct connection to disposable refrigerant cylinders and recovery equipment. Eliminates the need for adapters when connecting to ACME-threaded cylinders. Perfect for faster charging and recovery operations. Available in multiple lengths from 300cm to 750cm.
Capillary Hoses - Thermoplastic Gauge Connections
Precision thermoplastic capillary hoses for connecting pressure gauges, temperature sensors, and instrumentation. Flexible, lightweight construction ideal for custom gauge manifold assemblies and precision measurement applications. Available in straight x straight, straight x 90°, and straight x 45° configurations from 30cm to 152cm lengths.
