R410A Specialist Hoses - 1/2"-20UNF
R410A Specialist Hoses - 1/2"-20UNF Japanese Standard
Specialist charging hoses designed specifically for R410A refrigerant systems with 1/2"-20UNF Japanese standard fittings. Engineered to handle the higher operating pressures associated with R410A applications in residential and light commercial air conditioning systems.
Key Features
- R410A specific design — Engineered for higher-pressure R410A refrigerant systems
- 1/2"-20UNF Japanese standard fittings — Correct connections for R410A equipment
- High-pressure rated — Handles R410A operating pressures up to 56 Bar
- Colour-coded identification — Red (high-pressure), blue (low-pressure), yellow (centre port)
- Multiple lengths — 90cm and 150cm options for various applications
- Professional construction — Durable materials built for daily R410A service work
Why R410A Requires Specialist Hoses
Higher Operating Pressures
R410A operates at significantly higher pressures than older refrigerants like R22:
- R410A high-side pressure: up to 490 PSI (34 Bar)
- R410A low-side pressure: up to 280 PSI (19 Bar)
- Standard hoses may not be rated for these pressures
- R410A-specific hoses ensure safe, reliable operation
Japanese Standard Fittings
Many R410A systems, particularly Japanese-manufactured equipment, use 1/2"-20UNF fittings instead of standard 1/4" SAE fittings. These specialist hoses ensure:
- Proper connection to R410A equipment
- Leak-free sealing at high pressures
- Compatibility with Japanese-manufactured air conditioning systems
- Professional-grade service capabilities
Applications
- Residential air conditioning — R410A split systems and heat pumps
- Light commercial A/C — Small commercial R410A installations
- Japanese equipment — Daikin, Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, and other Japanese brands
- R410A diagnostics — Pressure testing and system analysis
- R410A charging — Refrigerant charging and recovery operations
Available Configurations
- Individual hoses — Red, blue, or yellow in 90cm or 150cm lengths
- 3-piece sets — Complete matched sets for manifold gauge setups
- Adapter hoses — Convert between 1/2"-20UNF and standard 1/4" SAE fittings
R410A vs Standard Hoses
| Feature | Standard 1/4" SAE | R410A 1/2"-20UNF |
|---|---|---|
| Fitting type | 1/4" SAE | 1/2"-20UNF (Japanese) |
| Pressure rating | Standard (up to 41 Bar) | High-pressure (up to 56 Bar) |
| Best for | R134a, R22, R404a | R410A systems |
| Equipment compatibility | Universal | R410A / Japanese equipment |
Important Notes
- Not interchangeable: R410A hoses with 1/2"-20UNF fittings are not compatible with standard 1/4" SAE equipment without adapters
- Pressure critical: Always use hoses rated for R410A pressures when servicing R410A systems
- Equipment specific: Check your R410A equipment specifications to confirm fitting type required
