ATD Yellow A/C Charging Hose 72in R134a Heavy Duty

Description

Product Overview

The ATD 72‑inch Yellow A/C Charging Hose is engineered for precision and durability in automotive air‑conditioning service. Constructed from high‑grade rubber with reinforced nylon braiding, the hose resists kinks and abrasion while maintaining flexibility. It features a 1/2 inch Acme‑F male fitting on one end and a 14mm‑M female fitting on the other, both crimped with an eight‑segment die for a secure, leak‑free seal. Knurled brass nuts provide a finger‑tightening solution, eliminating the need for tools and speeding up service time. The bright yellow color enhances visibility in crowded engine bays, reducing the risk of accidental damage.
