3.  Torque wrenches (diameters 1/2, 5/8) 
In order to strengthen the compressive strength, the 
diameters of wrenches change depending on the flare 
nut sizes.

4.  Manifold gauges 
R22 gauges cannot be used because of the high 
pressures. 
 
Each port of manifold has different shapes in order 
to prevent inserting wrong refrigerant. 
*However, the port shape for R410A and R32 is the 
same; therefore, attention need to be paid not to insert 
wrong refrigerant.

5.  Charging hoses 
The pressure resistance of charge hoses is increased. 
At the same time, the material is changed to HFC 
resistant, and the size of each manifold adopter is 
changed, as the port size of manifold gauge itself. 
Further, some hoses are with anti-gas pressure 
backflow valves placed near the adopters. (hoses with 
the valves recommended)

6.  Vacuum pump and Vacuum pump adopter 
When using a vacuum pump, it is necessary to set a 
solenoid valve in order to prevent backflow of vacuum 
pump oil into the charge hoses, and use a vacuum 
pump with oil backflow prevention function, or use the 
vacuum pump with vacuum pump adopter.  
If vacuum pump oil(mineral oil-based)mixes with 
R410A (R32), it may cause damage to the machine.
