R134A R12 Side Can Tap, 3-in-1 Side Mount Can Tap Valve, 1/4'' SAE 1/2'' Thread R134a Refrigerant Dispenser Kit for Car AC Refrigerant Manifold System, (Green)

Per usual the Government mandates new rules to screw things up that they know nothing about. "auto-sealing" R134a can valves. On a refrigerant that THEY mandated to replace, admittedly, a harmful R-12. By-pass the valve completely with this and save the money buying different adapters every 3 years. Works great and is simple-simon to rig up for any single charge size can. Yes even R-12 for my antiques. Durability is only issue I question as it seems flimsy but has lasted well so far.

Works great

Nice product

This worked, but is cheap plastic and does not latch (I used tape to hold it closed). When the ac reached 'full', I removed the dispensing valve and the freon started spraying out and I could not reattach it under the pressure. All I could do it hold it toward the ground and empty an entire can into the atmosphere. So, once you attach the dispensing valve to the tap valve, don't remove it.--Update-- seller contacted me and made good on this purchase. Great customer service.

worked like a champ..very good value.

Seems to work fine

When I looked at this tap it looked like it wouldn't fit. The radii of the jaws don't match the outside diameter arc of a 12 oz. 2 7/8 in. r134a can. I was kinda disappointed because a side tap is the only way to go when re-charging ac and I didn't want to have to send it back. I grabbed an empty can and squeezed the jaws closed and it actually fit. It dented the can in a couple of places but the barb pierced the can and the handle locked on the first set of teeth. Hopefully it will seal on a full can, I think it will.
