Important
m Read this manual carefully and familiarise yourself with the specifications
and operation of REFCO manifolds prior to use. These instructions provide im-
portant information regarding the operation and service of this manifold.
Purpose and use
The manifolds have been designed especially to measure pressure in refrigeration equip-
ment. For use only by trained technicians.
m The manifold must not be used for anything other than refrigeration applications
in connection with refrigerants.
m The manifold must not be used with pressures higher than 160 bar / 2300 psi.
m The manifold can not be used as a pressure regulator, especially not in use with
nitrogen N
.
2
m The manifold can not be used with ammonia (NH
/ R717).
3
m Safety goggles and gloves must be worn during the use of the manifold.
m REFCO-products are designed and manufactured for use by technically trained air
conditioning and refrigeration service engineers only. Due to the high pressures, and the
physical and chemical nature of refrigerants and oils used in the systems, incorrect appli-
cation could result in serious accidents, injuries or death.
Extent of delivery
Details about the variations and contents of the manifold are described in the REFCO
catalogue as well as on the web www.refco.ch.
Storage
Manifolds are high precision measuring instruments. After use store the manifold in a
protected environment.
Note: Do not store the manifold with refrigerant in the unit or hoses.
The hose connections (screw connections / mounting side) hanging freely from the
assembly aid can be screwed to the Y connections when not in use. This protects the
threads from dirt and damage.
