R134A R12 Side Can Tap, 3-in-1 Side Mount Can Tap Valve

Simple, works like it should. No leaks after weeks of storage.

Per usual the Government mandates new rules to screw things up that they know nothing about. "auto-sealing" R134a can valves. On a refrigerant that THEY mandated to replace, admittedly, a harmful R-12. By-pass the valve completely with this and save the money buying different adapters every 3 years. Works great and is simple-simon to rig up for any single charge size can. Yes even R-12 for my antiques. Durability is only issue I question as it seems flimsy but has lasted well so far.

At work just like it’s supposed to

I was exited to receive this can tap so I could charge my R134a AC system. The can tap appears to be good quality with thick plastic to hold the can securely. The tap is sharp and large to provide good flow. There is also an adapter to allow use with smaller cans. Good quality at a low price. Only 1 con. The tool didn't accept my 3" diameter 12oz refrigerant can! I couldn't even use it. The can tap would still be perfect for smaller cans or oil injection so I still gave it a good rating! It just doesn't fit the outer diameter of the standard R134a can I needed it for.

Bien

Used on one can and it worked ok. Left on can for a few days. Moved to another can and realized the piercing side is now warped. Could not use a second time.

Excelente A+++++

When I looked at this tap it looked like it wouldn't fit. The radii of the jaws don't match the outside diameter arc of a 12 oz. 2 7/8 in. r134a can. I was kinda disappointed because a side tap is the only way to go when re-charging ac and I didn't want to have to send it back. I grabbed an empty can and squeezed the jaws closed and it actually fit. It dented the can in a couple of places but the barb pierced the can and the handle locked on the first set of teeth. Hopefully it will seal on a full can, I think it will.

Great product allows for Diafluroethane ( Dust) to be used in an older vehicle AC unit .

I had the other style tap with gauge setup. After one use, the tap started to cause issues. First, wouldn't allow freon to flow out of can, then started to leak out of the T. After wasting two cans, thinking there was another problem, I wasn't going to waste a third can since I had the old tap attached to the can. I ordered this clamp tap. Not only did it save the one can, but I was able to connect this style to my traditional air condition gauges. I had my doubts because of the odd bad review, but it is much better then the other style. Hope this helps.

Cheaply made. Doesn't fit hose for refill
