Does the charge kit just have a single connection?

Customer replied351 days and 7 hours ago.

Hi Dave,


yes, an adapter / connection and then a squeeze trigger to pull once the connecter is attached.

This will connect to the Low side service fitting. It is located on the larger line going up over the brake booster. See arrow in picture below.

Hi Dave,


I was able to connect the device to the car but I am abit confused by the readings on the refrigerant - if I am understanding it correctly I need to first identify the outside air temp before reading the psi in the a/c system. Does that make any sense? It says that I won't get an accurate reading on the psi unless the device is accurately reading the outside temp.

When the system has a charge it it, the static pressure (system not running) will be about equal to the outside temperature. Not a big deal. The pressure you are most concerned about is with the engine running and system ON. The low side pressure should be around 35-40 psi, this is where the system operates when fully charged and cooling well. If it is at 35 psi and cooling well, this is ideal.
