Easy first step for DIYers
I had never added freon to a refrigerator before but have done it many times to my vehicles over the years. This saddle valve system/application works perfectly when installed correctly. My refrigerator was not blowing cold anymore so I thought I had a compressor problem because it never kicked in. Actually, it kicked in and was running constantly, causing the starter to burn up. I replace the starter and then decided to check for leaks and found none. the refrigerator is a sealed system with no place to add freon. A car has the valve system for adding. I saw this valve in use on YouTube and thought I would give it a try. Installation only took a few minutes, followed by adding the freon. The refrigerator is now blowing cold again. Saving me some more money instead of calling a repairman. I am a long time DIYer and only recommend this conversion/installation if you have some previous knowledge with introducing freon to refrigeration systems. I got the part very quickly and it wasn't very expensive.

Easy to use
Works great, seals good and no leaks. I have used these on RV units several times. Clean up the mounting surface with a little scotch bright and install.

Refilled my Refrigerator with R134a
My 12v RV refrigerator wasn't cooling well anymore. Only 20+ years old :P Since the compressor was still running and those fridges are very very expensive. ($1000+) I thought I give it a shot and try to refill. Finding a spot at the refrigerant line which is straight and you can later put a gauge set to it, was the tricky part. Then after installation, I've let the fridge run and added a r134a very slowly. Added a little bit, waited for a minute, repeat. Felt the condenser in the fridge until it started really getting cold. When I connected to the fridge with my gauge set I still had about 7psi left. Which was not cooling well. After adding just a small amount - the fridge started running like new again. For this fridge that was around 15-20 psi. Now a few weeks later the fridge is still running fine, so where ever the leak is. It's not very big. Hope to get a few more decades of service out of this fridge. Better for the environment to repair then to trash.
