Title: Freon R12 Recharge Hose Post by: RYNWATER on January 16, 2018, 01:43:55 pm I have a few old Freon R12 bottles, and want to use them to fill 2 of my machines.
I was hoping someone with a good eye can tell me where to get the proper Recharging hose. I had a tech come to my place with his equipment, but couldn't fit his screw on recharge hose to my Freon bottle. We now know the 134 screw top is a different size than the R12. Just looking for any help as to where to buy the proper recharge equipment. Anyone have any experience with this? I can email a few pics of the bottle if it will help thanks in advance Title: Re: Freon R12 Recharge Hose Post by: briandr1 on January 16, 2018, 02:36:14 pm There are r 12 can topper and hoses on ebay some as low as 4.99

The only one I see is made for a flat top to be punctured. Mine has a Male Threaded end, which means the common Can Tapper won’t work!

Looks like I have some reading to do. Make sure I don’t get the wrong unit from China Title: Re: Freon R12 Recharge Hose Post by: johnieG on January 16, 2018, 08:21:19 pm Sounds like you bought a couple of cans of “freeze 12”?
it has a unique thread that is niether a R-134-acme or an the old 1/4” standard R12 thread. Title: Re: Freon R12 Recharge Hose Post by: RYNWATER on January 16, 2018, 10:12:06 pm The cans are Freon 12 by DUPONT,
The Can is from Mexico, so it’s a bit hard to read the details. Does home A/C Hookups differ from Vending A/C hookups This can has a sticker with a barcode and a house. I sure hope there is a solution I can email a pic to anyone for a better idea of what I’m looking at.
