Why Yellow for Centre/Charging Line?

Industry standard colour coding uses yellow for the centre/charging line on manifold gauge sets. The yellow hose connects to refrigerant cylinders, vacuum pumps, or recovery machines. This colour coding prevents connection errors and ensures safe, professional refrigerant handling. The 90264-60 yellow hose is specifically designed for this critical centre port application.

Manual Ball Valve Advantage:

The integrated manual ball valve provides quarter-turn shut-off control, allowing you to close the hose before disconnecting. This prevents refrigerant venting and ensures EPA compliance. The ball valve eliminates the need for separate shut-off valves and provides positive, leak-free shut-off when closed.

Grade 5 Construction:

• High-Quality Materials – Superior hose construction
• 52 Bar Working Pressure – Handles all common refrigerants
• Durable – Long service life in professional use
• Flexible – Easy routing and positioning
• Temperature Resistant – Withstands HVAC/R service conditions

Benefits:

• 150cm Length – Extended reach for difficult installations
• Ball Valve Integrated – EPA-compliant refrigerant containment
• 52 Bar Pressure – Handles all common refrigerants safely
• Grade 5 Quality – Professional-grade construction
• EPA/SAE/UL Compliant – Meets professional standards
• Yellow Colour Coding – Industry-standard centre line identification
• 1/4" SAE Fittings – Universal compatibility
• Professional Quality – Built for daily commercial use

How to Use:

1. Connect one end to manifold centre port (yellow)
2. Connect other end to refrigerant cylinder, vacuum pump, or recovery machine
3. Open ball valve (quarter-turn) to allow flow
4. Proceed with charging, evacuation, or recovery operation
5. Close ball valve before disconnecting
6. Disconnect hose with minimal refrigerant loss
7. Ball valve contains refrigerant in hose

EPA Refrigerant Containment:

EPA regulations require technicians to minimise refrigerant venting during service operations. The manual ball valve on the 90264-60 allows you to close the hose before disconnecting, containing refrigerant and preventing atmospheric release. This is essential for EPA compliance and professional refrigerant handling practices.

150cm (60") Length Advantages:

• Extended Reach – Access difficult installations without moving equipment
• Commercial Applications – Ideal for large equipment and rooftop units
• Reduced Movement – Less need to reposition manifold during service
• Professional Standard – Preferred length for commercial HVAC/R work

Colour Coding Standard:

• Blue Hose – Low-side (suction) connection
• Red Hose – High-side (discharge) connection
• Yellow Hose (90264-60) – Centre/charging line connection

Maintenance:

• Inspect hose regularly for cracks, cuts, or damage
• Check fittings for leaks
• Test ball valve operation regularly
• Replace if hose becomes damaged or leaks
• Store coiled loosely to prevent kinking
• Keep fittings clean and free from debris

Safety Notes:

• Always close ball valve before disconnecting
• Check working pressure rating for refrigerant being used
• Inspect hose before each use
• Replace damaged hoses immediately
• Follow EPA refrigerant handling regulations
• Wear safety glasses when handling refrigerant

Professional Quality: Mastercool charging hoses are built to professional standards with Grade 5 construction and EPA/SAE/UL compliance for safe, reliable refrigerant handling in demanding HVAC/R service environments. Essential equipment for professional manifold gauge sets.
