Lichamp A/C R134A Refrigerator Freon Recharge Kit with Bullet Piercing Valve, Piercing and Self-Sealing Can Tap 134A

Not bad & working fine with my car

Watched instructional videos on YT and was easy to charge and rescued my dead garage fridge! Which made me a hero to the Wife, Kids and Family! Several told me I was wasting my time and money …. That it would leak out again???? Well it’s been 6 months fridge is still performing great! I was even able to use this to add Freon to my truck through the low side! Great tools and great price!

One valve came broken, the rest ok

This is hard to find in stores. Comes with two R-134a can taps including old style (piercing) and the new style (self sealing). It has two piercing valves for refrigeration lines. The gauge isn't fancy and there are no directions but this is a good buy for the money.

Reading the negative reviews, many were about the lack of instructions which I agree with. (Aside from any 'broken parts' issues, then RETURN IT!) Youtube videos can be hit and miss on the subject. This is only for units that are RUNNING low and need a trim, not FLAT empty! If empty you need a vacuum pump first, fix the leak, etc.The kit worked well for me. I attached the piercing valve to the "SERVICE LINE", the CRIMPED OFF charging line from the factory on the compressor as it was in an easier location to work with. I had to use the extra SHIM on the BACK HALF of the valve to fit it correctly! The suction line is the LARGER one on the compressor and if it's in a better spot, you might not need the shim. Test fit the BACK SIDE of the valve to see if it's needed! Shine up the line with steel wool or whatever first, then BACK the piercing valve all the way open and tighten it down pointed in a easy direction to access. Then run the pierce in to the line. (hopefully no leaks!) Leave closed and pull the cap. Connect the LONG end of the hose to the new valve LOOSELY. Select the correct valve from the kit for your recharge can and connect it up to the kit tight. Crack open the valve on the can and VENT ALL THE AIR out of the hose and then tighten the hose on the new valve. With the can valve CLOSED, open the piercing valve and get a gauge reading on your machine. Mine was pulling vacuum! It should have been 0 or maybe 1 PSI. (Yours may be different)SLOWLY add new freon a little at a time. Too much is as bad as not enough and could blow a high pressure line or ruin the compressor! Give it plenty of time to adjust and observe the temperature drop. I stopped when the freezer hit 5 degrees F and it ended up at ZERO!! Can't ask for more. Close the piercing valve, disconnect the kit and cap the valve tight. Then later enjoy a cold beverage...

This works Very well, It has all the attachments needed to do everything I needed, I used it ti recharge a small refrigerator and also on cars, You will save $ hundreds by doing it yourself, If you don't know how there are Many videos on line.
