Yellow Jacket 16012 Heavy Duty Refrigerant Hose 12 in

Product Description

The YELLOW JACKET 16012 is a 12-inch heavy-duty refrigerant hose built for HVAC technicians who need faster, more reliable system evacuation. Featuring PLUS II barrier technology, this hose significantly reduces refrigerant permeation and minimizes vacuum loss during service procedures. The larger internal diameter accelerates evacuation compared to standard 1/4-inch or 3/8-inch hoses, cutting down total pull-down time on the job. With 5/8-inch x 5/8-inch fittings and a 12-inch working length, it is a direct-use hose for manifold gauge set hookups in commercial and residential refrigeration and air conditioning service work.

This hose is suited for HVAC and refrigeration technicians performing system evacuation, refrigerant recovery, and charging on residential and light commercial air conditioning and refrigeration equipment. The larger bore design makes it especially useful when tight evacuation targets must be reached quickly. At 12 inches in length, it is a short-reach hose ideal for close-proximity connections between manifold sets and vacuum pumps or system service ports.

Key Features

• PLUS II barrier technology reduces refrigerant permeation and vacuum loss
• Large internal diameter accelerates system evacuation versus 1/4-inch or 3/8-inch hoses
• 12-inch length for compact, close-proximity manifold connections

Compatibility

Designed for use with manifold gauge sets and vacuum pumps in residential and light commercial HVAC and refrigeration service applications requiring 5/8-inch connections.

Installation Notes

Installation and service should be performed by a licensed HVAC or refrigeration technician in accordance with applicable EPA Section 608 regulations and local codes. Always recover refrigerant before disconnecting hoses from a charged system. Inspect hose fittings for debris or damage before making connections, and ensure all valve handles are closed before attaching or removing the hose from service ports or manifold sets.
