Title: Compressor on USS-8-64 Post by: dylaninwv on January 17, 2016, 01:18:23 pm Hey all, have a Cavalier uss-8-64 with original compressor. My hvac/cooling guy wants to give it a once over, check output, checking coolant levels, etc. Question is, is there some port on the compressor that he can hook up to to check the r-12 coolant level/pressure?

One should preferably be soldered on the line, rather than using the clamp-on style fill valve.
