low loss adapter

[wgrr]

Those Yellow Jacket hoses with the ball valves permanently attached are pretty pricey. Has anyone had luck with the Yellow Jacket ball valves that just attach to your existing hoses?

Yes

I always keep the suction pressure from the last sytem I worked on in my hoses and manifold; I drain the high side back into the system through the low side so whatever that pressure is stays in the gauges.

As far as bleding the 6" extension, I use valve core depressors a lot of the time, so when I attach the hose to the depressor I can bled some of the pressure from the gauges at the depressor. This also saves freon burns in those tight places.

I don't have half the experience of many of you, but I actually use NRP low loss fittings and YJ ball valves. I trust the ball valves a lot more. I read somewhere that someone didn't recommend leaving your manifold full of gas. It slowly stresses out the hoses or something.

the ball valves you put at the end are greattt

like someone said earlier
you can, purge/bleed right to that point!!
very nice

I have an assortment of ball valves, low-loss fittings, adapters, etc. and it seems like the yellow jacket ball valves are the ones I consistently go for.

What about blow-back from the ones with the ball valves vs. the low loss ones - like when you're unscrewing the hi side hose from the Shrader?

Work is cool - Making more money than I ever have, I haven't put in any OT that I didn't ask for, I'm learning something new every day, and I'm enjoying being a little fish in a big pond.

There's some chiller porn in the "office pictures" thread that I posted.

Never really been much of a problem for me. Sure, it's a tiny bit more than the "psst" you get from a low-loss, but the fittings are so much more reliable and useful.

I'm there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
