Title: R 12 or R134 Post by: HI-OCTANE on June 04, 2018, 06:20:20 pm How do I know which refrigerant to use on a Vedo 81 It looks like it has a newer style compressor ?
Title: Re: R 12 or R134 Post by: johnieG on June 04, 2018, 10:23:29 pm Open the service valve & stiff the escaping gas deeply, if you hear Elvis calling you to the light, it’s R12, if you see Gerald Ford, its probably R134.. :tounge:

Title: Re: R 12 or R134 Post by: johnieG on June 05, 2018, 09:43:48 am Basically whoever installed the new compressor should have labeled it to identify the charge amount & the type of gas used. You could look up the compressor’s model number & see if it is a R12 or R134 unit, but it doesn’t guaranty what gas was put into the system, maybe the seller knows.

Morrison = R420 :laugh: Nice concrete cinder-block compressor base-plate BTW ... :Oo: Title: Re: R 12 or R134 Post by: johnieG on June 07, 2018, 05:42:34 pm the green label on the side of the compressor should say what gas it's rated for, looks like an R134 unit, but like I said, you never know what someone stuck in it.
