Safety
Caution: TruBlu hoses and hose assemblies are only intended and designed for sealed
system evacuation. TruBlu hoses are not intended (or rated) to be used for pressure or
refrigerant transport. The O-rings used for the vacuum seal will dislodge under positive
pressure and may expose the operator to refrigerant liquid or vapor, if present in the hose.
Refrigerant can cause burns or eye damage/loss. Always where gloves and goggles when
working on or around refrigerants.
Introduction
Thank you for buying TruBlu! TruBlu hoses are dedicated evacuation hoses that dramatically
improve evacuation times; reducing in many cases what typically takes hours to minutes
when compared to 1/4" charging hose. TruBlu uses the same robust technology found
in industrial and scientific vacuum applications with components modified to meet the
demands of the HVAC/R field use and application. Your TruBlu kit is compatible with most
KF-16 fittings. Parts and accessories are available through your distributor.
