Built to a 600 psi working pressure with a 3000 psi burst pressure rating, this hose handles the demands of both charging and deep-vacuum pulling in a single line. The 72-inch length provides generous reach from the manifold gauge set to the service port, and the straight flared inlet paired with a 45-degree angle fitting on the opposite end reduces stress at connection points. Licensed HVAC technicians and refrigeration mechanics are the primary users of this hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hose is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC service, split systems, package units, and refrigeration equipment where refrigerant charging, recovery, or evacuation procedures are performed. The 3\/8-inch nominal hose body with 1\/4-inch connection size fits standard manifold gauge sets used across the trade. The 72-inch working length is well-matched to rooftop units, condensing units in tight equipment rooms, and any application where a shorter hose creates awkward positioning at the manifold or service valve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e600 psi working pressure rating with 3000 psi burst pressure for heavy-duty service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e72-inch length provides extended reach for manifold to service port connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight flared x 45-degree angle connection type reduces fitting stress and kinking at the service port\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-inch minimum bend radius maintains flow and hose integrity during use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTemperature rated from -22 to 176 degrees F for use across refrigerant service conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch nominal diameter with 1\/4-inch connection size fits standard manifold gauge sets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit service hose for use with standard 1\/4-inch flare manifold gauge sets used in HVAC and refrigeration service applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hose is installed by licensed HVAC technicians and refrigeration mechanics during refrigerant system service. Always recover or isolate system refrigerant per EPA Section 608 requirements before disconnecting existing hoses. Hand-tighten flare connections first, then snug with a wrench — do not overtighten flare fittings, as this can damage the seating surface. Inspect the hose for kinks, cracks, or fitting damage before each use and replace if any deterioration is found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Flared x 45 Degree Angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 72 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorking Pressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 600 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBurst Pressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3000 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: -22 to 176 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBend Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Hoses\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy-Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e: BCSA-72\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: 20272\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RITCHIE ENGINEERING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51138826076466,"sku":"20272","price":79.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/305531021.jpg?v=1778264221","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ritchie-engineering-20272-charging-vacuum-hose-72-in-600-psi","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
