About Yellow Jacket

The brand's extensive catalogue includes charging systems, diagnostic tools, specialised gauges, refrigerant recovery and vacuum pump systems, charging hoses, leak detectors and monitors. Yellow Jacket vacuum gauges are designed for monitoring air pressure inside engines and industrial machines for nautical research and development applications. These gauges have a patented thermal conductivity sensor for compensating the temperature and feature an automatic shut-off mechanism for reducing the power usage when not in use. Yellow Jacket vacuum pumps are ideal due to their oil reservoir port with a wide mouth opening, allowing easier filling operation. These 2-stage rotary vane pumps also have a completely sealed chamber to prevent oil leakages and are capable of displacing liquids at a maximum rate of 8 CFM.

Things To Consider

Cross-Reference Alternatives

Yellow Jacket gauge's MPNs (manufacturer's part numbers) generally cross individual reference to the equivalent JB Industries model numbers. So, if you're looking for gauges that are either out of stock or obsolete, chances are Raptor Supplies has the equivalent Yellow Jacket gauges available.

Shipping

These Yellow Jacket gauges are generally small in size and require compact packaging. These Yellow Jacket gauges are suitable for courier shipment and not air freight.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are manifold gauges?

These gauges are used with vacuum hoses while recharging or repairing cooling systems. The vacuum hoses connect these gauges with the HVAC system to check both high & low refrigerant pressure for leak detection, measuring refrigerant volume and troubleshooting tasks.

What are low loss fittings?

These low loss, anti blowback fittings are used on Yellow Jacket vacuum hoses to trap the refrigerant inside the hose when disconnected. It prevents finger burns and the release of toxic refrigerants into the atmosphere.

Are vacuum hoses universal?

Yes, vacuum systems have outlet holes that measure 2.5 inches in diameter. The screw-on fittings on these vacuum hoses can be easily installed on 2.5 inch diameter holes.

How to check vacuum hoses?

Users must check for small tears and cracks at hose ends. The fitting's internal threads should be examined for wear, the hose should be checked for bulges indicating torn internal layers.
