The coupler measures 8.25 inches in length and is manufactured from brass with a bronze color finish. It is compatible with all CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants, making it a versatile adapter for HVAC service work. Licensed HVAC technicians use this fitting when adapting between Acme-threaded manifold hose connections and 14 mm metric fittings commonly found on recovery machines and European-standard service equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coupler is suited for both residential and light commercial HVAC service applications. It bridges the gap between 1\/2 inch Acme-threaded hose ends and 14 mm male connections on refrigerant handling equipment. Technicians performing refrigerant recovery, evacuation, or system charging will find this adapter useful when working with mixed connection standards on the service bench or in the field. Its all-refrigerant compatibility means a single fitting covers R-22, R-410A, R-134a, and other common CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants without restriction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch Acme female inlet x 14 mm male outlet connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with all CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance and long service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBronze color finish for easy identification in the tool kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8.25 inch overall length provides reach in tight service connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with refrigerant manifold gauge sets, recovery machines, and service hoses using 1\/2 inch Acme female connections on one end and 14 mm male connections on the other.

Before connecting or disconnecting refrigerant fittings, recover system refrigerant per EPA regulations and confirm the system is at safe working pressure. Hand-tighten Acme fittings first, then snug with an appropriately sized wrench — do not overtighten brass fittings as this can damage threads. Inspect the coupler and mating fittings for debris or damage before each use to prevent refrigerant leaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Ends\u003c\/strong\u003e: Acme Female x Acme Male\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch x 14 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bronze\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Refrigerants\u003c\/strong\u003e: All CFC, HCFC, and HFC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fitting and Valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: RITCHIE ENGINEERING\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 19158\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RITCHIE ENGINEERING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51138954068274,"sku":"19158","price":50.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/305531341.png?v=1778266564","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ritchie-engineering-19158-refrigerant-coupler-1-2-acme-x-14mm","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
