AC Fitting Set #8 and #10 Female Oring Beadlock 90 Degree & R134a pressure valve 🔧 2-Pack R134a AC Fitting Kit (90-Degree) – #8 High Pressure + #10 Low Pressure 🔧 【Zinc-Plated Iron | Female Oring Beadlock | Threads: 3/4-16UNF (#8) & 7/8-14UNF (#10)】For AC System Repairs/Upgrades 1. Core Features 🔹 Exact Sizing for R134a AC Systems Engineered as a direct fit for
R134a automotive air conditioning systems (the standard for most vehicles built after 1994), with dedicated high-pressure (#8) and low-pressure (#10) fittings to match OEM AC line specifications:
Fitting Type Hose Size Thread Specification AC System Role Compatibility High-Pressure (HP) #8 3/4-16 UNF Connects to AC condenser/discharge line Standard #8 AC hoses (rubber/barrier) Low-Pressure (LP) #10 7/8-14 UNF Connects to AC evaporator/suction line Standard #10 AC hoses (rubber/barrier)
Critical Compatibility Note: Designed for
R134a refrigerant systems only – does NOT work with older R12 or newer R1234yf systems (different thread sizes and pressure ratings). Confirm your vehicle’s AC refrigerant type before purchasing. 🔹 90-Degree Angle – Solves Installation Challenges The 90-degree bend eliminates the need for rigid, straight-line AC hose routing, making it ideal for:
- Tight engine bays (e.g., compact cars, modified vehicles) where straight fittings would cause hose kinking.
- Retrofit projects (upgrading older AC systems to R134a) where space between components is limited.
- Preventing hose stress: Angled fittings reduce tension on AC hoses, extending their lifespan (kinked or stretched hoses leak refrigerant over time).
🔹 Leak-Proof Design – Female Oring + Beadlock Built to create a permanent, refrigerant-tight seal – critical for AC system efficiency (even small leaks cause cooling loss and compressor damage):
- Oring Seal: Integrated rubber O-ring (resistant to R134a refrigerant and AC oil) compresses against the mating component (e.g., condenser, evaporator port) to block leaks.
- Beadlock Connection: Secures the AC hose via a “bead” on the hose end (crimped or reusable) – locks the hose in place to prevent separation under system pressure (up to 400 PSI, the max operating pressure of R134a HP lines).
🔹 Zinc-Plated Iron – Durable & Corrosion-Resistant Constructed from heavy-duty iron with a zinc-plated finish to withstand the harsh underhood environment:
- Corrosion protection: Zinc plating resists rust and degradation from moisture, road salt, and AC oil – prevents fitting failure due to rust buildup (common in uncoated steel fittings).
- Pressure tolerance: Iron core handles R134a’s operating pressures (HP side: 200–350 PSI; LP side: 20–50 PSI) without warping or cracking.
- Long service life: Outperforms aluminum fittings (prone to stripping) and plastic fittings (not pressure-rated) by 3–5x.
🔹 Ready for AC System Use Each fitting comes pre-equipped for immediate installation in R134a systems:
- High-pressure (#8) fitting includes an R134a HP service valve port (for refrigerant charging or pressure testing).
- Low-pressure (#10) fitting includes an R134a LP service valve port (for vacuuming the system or adding refrigerant).
- Works with standard AC service tools (e.g., R134a manifold gauges, charging hoses) – no adapter kits needed.

4. Important Installation & Usage Tips Installation Guidelines
- Professional Installation Recommended: AC system work requires specialized tools (vacuum pump, manifold gauges) and knowledge of refrigerant handling (R134a is a regulated substance). Improper installation causes leaks or compressor damage.
- Pre-Installation Prep:
- Clean the fitting threads and mating component port with AC system cleaner (removes dirt/debris that can damage the O-ring).
- Lubricate the O-ring with AC compressor oil (prevents tearing during installation).
- Torque the fitting to specs: 18–22 ft-lbs (HP fitting); 15–18 ft-lbs (LP fitting) – over-tightening strips threads; under-tightening causes leaks.
- System Testing: After installation, vacuum the AC system for 30+ minutes, then pressure-test with nitrogen (200 PSI) to check for leaks before adding R134a.
After-Sales Support
- Fitment/Leak Issues: If a fitting doesn’t thread onto your AC component or leaks after installation, contact the seller with photos of the mating port (thread size) – they’ll help resolve the issue (replacements or guidance).
- Questions: Reach out for help confirming hose size or refrigerant compatibility – support is available for DIYers and mechanics.
