Most gauges can be used to measure any
refrigerant pressure, but each gauge may vary
in function and specifics. A manifold gauge
must match the refrigerant used in the HVAC
system. Every heating or cooling system will
have a stamp showing what refrigerant is used.
Some gauge sets can read multiple refrigerants.
You will want to make sure you are using the
right gauge for the right refrigerant reading.
Manifold Gauge Parts
The basic parts of a standard manifold
gauge include:
While manifold gauges will differ slightly Low-pressure valve
among manufacturers most manifold
High-pressure valve
gauges have the same basic parts,
Low-pressure gauge (blue)
consisting of a high-pressure valve (red) and
a low-pressure valve (blue). Attached to High Pressure Gauge (red)
these valves are three hoses: a blue hose Low-pressure hose (blue)
connected to the low pressure valve, a red High-pressure hose (red)
hose connected to the high pressure valve Center hose (yellow)
and a yellow hose in the middle which can Center piece/manifold
be directed to either valve.
The center unit where everything is
attached together is called the manifold,
which is why this tool is called a manifold
gauge.
Manifold gauge sets can be either analog or
digital, and some may have additional
valves or functions depending on the brand
inclusions and other considerations.
 PROCEDURE FOR AC GAS FILLING
AC gas is actually an easy job with the right tools and safety gear
First, on the air conditioner locate the suction line(low side) and the discharge line (high
side). These are located behind a window AC and in a split AC in the outdoor unit The suction
line is located above the discharge line and is cool the touch. While the discharge line is warm
to the touch. The suction line is used for recharging gas into the AC .inlet lines for ac gas filling
Unscrew the bolt of the suction line as shown below.
 Loosen the screw inside with a Torx hex key(as shown in the picture below). This screw acts
as a valve, it won’t let refrigerant flow in or out till it is closed.
Thus, loosening this screw is important for filling AC gas.unscrewing bolt for ac gas
refillingThen remove the bolt on the left and connect the blue hose of the AC manifold gauge
to this port.
 Connect the yellow hose to the vacuum pump. Remove all the air from the system. This step
is very important because any moisture inside the compressor will damage it.ac manifold
gauge for gas refilling Now, make sure all the valves of the AC manifold gauge are closed.
Then, connect the yellow hose to the refrigerant tank. Before opening the tank knob, loosen
the yellow hose slightly at the manifold end.
Then open the cylinder knob for 1 second and close it. This will remove all the air from inside
the pipes. Now, again tighten the yellow hose.Now, open the low side knob of the manifold for
3-4 seconds and close it.
Then turn ON the AC and wait till the compressor kicks in.Once the compressor starts, again
open the low side valve of the manifold. Keep the valve opened for 4 seconds and close it for 2
seconds. Note where the pressure settles on the gauge once the valve is closed. Keep opening
and closing the valve till the pressure settles between 60-70 PSI.
Note: The AC refrigerant gas is filled in small amounts at a time because releasing all the gas
at once will damage the compressor.After reaching the 60-70 PSI range,Close the manifold

Description:
Automotive air conditioning repairs can be
expensive, and when the brave home mechanic takes on
car AC maintenance, an A/C manifold gauge set is
necessary to do the job right. When something goes wrong
with the high pressure side gauge of an AC manifold, one
might be tempted to buy an entirely new manifold.
Alternatively, you could have the cost savings and personal
satisfaction of getting the OEMTOOLS 24530 Replacement

Don't let a busted air pressure gauge for car repairs prevent
you from properly replacing an AC compressor. As a
replacement part of an R134a gauge set, it serves as the
high pressure side on R134 gauges. With the other air

INFLATOR PUMP

 PUMPS: A pump is a device that moves fluids (liquids or

gases), or sometimes slurries, by mechanical action, typically
converted from electrical energy into hydraulic energy. Pumps
can be classified into three major groups according to the
method they use to move the fluid: direct lift, displacement,
and gravity pumps.
 INFLATOR :A tire inflator is a specific type of air compressor
that is specialized for tires. As with air compressors, tire
inflators function by converting electric energy into potential
energy which is then stored as pressurized air. This pressurized
gas means that there is no longer a need for the strenuous
pumping of the manual tire inflators of the past
 WORKING OF INFLATOR PUMP
These pumps usually attach with an automatic on/off switch and a pressure gauge (manometer).
The manometer assists in measuring the pressure inside the chamber and provides a feedback
indication to the control device. After reaching the desired pressure conditions, the feedback
signal stops the air pump by the controller.
1) Type of Location:Firstly, you need to decide either you want to use an automatic driven or a
manually driven pump. Manual-driven pumps have a low cost, but they need a person for
operation. But automatic pumps have a high price, but they don’t require a person for their
operation. The automatic pump can be operated for a long time without any manual work.
2) 2) Power Requirements:You need to consider the power requirements of your pump. If the
pumps fix in one place, it means that they are electrically operated. The portable pump has a
battery that has a rated voltage range of 12 volts or 24 volts. Battery-operated pumps must
be properly powered to ensure long life and to finish the pumping operation.
3) 3) Nozzle:The pump comes with an interchangeable pipe that can replace with a nozzle
according to our requirements. Some types of pumps may have fixed nozzles that can’t
replace. It would be best if you chose the right pump nozzle that accessories to your
requirements
4) .4) Flow Rate:You need to choose a pump that will provide the flow rate according to your
requirements. High flow rate pumps are required for applications such as blow-up parachute
balloons, inflate tires, and perform other high-speed operations. The flow rates are
determined in gallons/minute (GPM).

HOW TO USE TIRE INFLATOR
Once you have the tire inflator set up, take off the
valve stem caps and ensure to keep them in a safe
space. They are small and easily lost so keep track!
Connect the air pressure hose to the tire’s air
valve system.
Turn on the tire inflator and wait until the desired
pressure is reached. Depending on how much
inflation is needed you should be able to see it
working.
 If the tire is near flat or has lost a large
percentage of the PSI you should see the inflation
quickly, however if it is merely the monthly refill of
1 or so PSI,
you might not see a difference. If the tire is not
inflating check for punctures as you would need
professional assistance to help solve that problem.
 Once the correct PSI is reached reattach the
valve stem caps and you are ready to drive safely.
Tire inflators are the perfect tool to help you
maintain your car, have great fuel efficiency, and
ensure that you can be safe on the go.
 A tire inflator in your car will give you peace of
mind on long road trips and give you the freedom
to take care of your car yourself
WE CAN REPLACE TIRE INFLATOR BY AIR
COMPRESSOR INSTRUMENT
An air compressor is a pneumatic device that
converts power (using an electric motor, diesel
or gasoline engine, etc.) into potential energy
stored in pressurized air go (i.e., compressed
air). By one of several methods, an air
compressor forces more and more air into a
storage tank, increasing the pressure. When the
tank's pressure reaches its engineered upper
limit, the air compressor shuts off. The
compressed air, then, is held in the tank until
called into use. The energy contained in the
compressed air can be used for a variety of
applications, utilizing the kinetic energy of the
air as it is released and the tank depressurizes.
When tank pressure reaches its lower limit, the
air compressor turns on again and re-
pressurizes the tank. An air compressor must be
differentiated from a pump because it works for
any gas/air, while pumps work on a liquid .
