Service Tools

R-410A is used under higher working pressure, compared to previous refrigerants (R-22,R-407C).
Furthermore, the refrigerating machine oil has been changed from Suniso oil to Ether oil, and if oil
mixing is occurred, sludge results in the refrigerants and causes other problems. Therefore, gauge
manifolds and charge hoses that are used with a previous refrigerant (R-22,R-407C) can not be
used for products that use new refrigerants.
Be sure to use dedicated tools and devices.

As for the charge mouthpiece and packing, 1/2UNF20 is necessary for mouthpiece size of
charge hose.

Reasons for change
• Do not use the same tools for R-22 and
R-410A.
• Thread specification differs for R-410A
and R-407C.
• The same tool can be used for HFCs.
• To use existing pump for HFCs,
vacuum pump adapter must be
installed.
• For R-410A, flare gauge is necessary.
• Torque-up for 1/2 and 5/8
• Due to refrigerating machine oil
change. (No Suniso oil can be used.)
• Only φ19.1 is changed to 1/2H material
while the previous material is "O".
