Tigbear R290/R600A Charging Manifold Hose Kit with Gauge – 600 PSI Working Pressure

Overview

The Tigbear R290/R600A charging manifold hose kit is a compact, sturdy solution designed for small refrigeration systems like mini-fridges. It combines a high-contrast, easy-to-read gauge with a durable hose and versatile can taps, helping you manage refrigerant charging with confidence.

Built for practical use, this kit emphasizes safety, portability, and real-world accessibility. The choice of materials and the thoughtful layout mean you can access charge ports in tight spaces without sacrificing visibility or control. It’s a handy companion for hobbyists, small workshop setups, or on-the-go service tasks where reliable readings matter.

Key Features and Benefits

• Gauged charging hose with a wide readout range (-30 to 175 psi) for clear, actionable pressure information.
• Working pressure up to 600 psi and burst pressure around 3000 psi, offering a buffer for safe operation under varying conditions.
• Built-in safety valve to help prevent accidental venting of refrigerant during use.
• Two tapping options: a piercing can tap opener with 1/2" ACME to 1/4" and a 7/16" to 1/4" self-sealing tap for compatibility with common can types.
• Durable brass and rubber construction plus a 24" charging hose that reaches charge ports without cumbersome maneuvering.
• Designed for R290 and R600A systems, with easy, controlled charge management to stay within the gauge’s green zone.

What You Can Do with It

• Recharge small refrigerators and compact cooling appliances that use R290 or R600A refrigerants.
• Monitor pressure in real-time while adding refrigerant in measured increments to maintain desired operating conditions.
• Access distant or awkward port locations thanks to the 24-inch hose length.
• Switch between can types quickly with the dual tap options for versatile field setups.

Usage Tips

Attach the appropriate can tap, observe the gauge, and add refrigerant gradually while keeping an eye on the current pressure. If cooling performance remains out of range, consider professional service for a deeper diagnosis. Always prioritize safety and follow local regulations when handling refrigerants.
