I'm looking for a new manifold
I'm after a new manifold gauge set. Has anyone used Yellow Jacket Brute for R410a? Are they any good? Are they available in Bar/celsius units.
Cheers

I have the DigiCool built for Yellow Jacket. Really easy to use and accurate.

Re: I'm looking for a new manifold
Check out yellow jacket brute 2 manifold gauges
there's a few variations depending what refrigerants you most commonly come across
they are not digital
they have 4 hoses so when recovering there's no need to swap hoses etc
just google it it will probably be the 2nd search result on the first page
hope that helps

Re: I'm looking for a new manifold
I have tried recently the Testo 556-1 and especially if you are working on big chillers equipped with EEV it is in my opinion the right tool.
It is including the data of all the refrigerants on the market (except NH3, you need a different model) and with the right options is giving you the direct calculation of subcooling and superheating on the display (and it is extremely fast and accurate).
I was quite skeptical about the electronic manifold but I'm slowly changing my mind.
The very big disadvantage of this "toy" is the cost (if I'm not wrong a mid level version with two standard temperature sensors and two wireless temperature sensor costs around 2500,00 €) .

Re: I'm looking for a new manifold
I've got the Brute II, they have been a decent set except the the high side valve seems to leak, replaced the stem twice so now I thing it is the manifold housing itself.
Getting a digital set soon.

Re: I'm looking for a new manifold
HI guys,
thanks for the feedback, I've finally ordered a set. Brute 2, not easy to find in the UK. If anyone's interested 410a BAR CELCIUS part no. is 46160. Derbyshire refrigeration 01159 382555. I was told by Ritchie they are the only UK supplier.
Hopefully they won't leak

Re: I'm looking for a new manifold
Yes that is where i got my yellow jacket digital ones from as well.
Can i ask how much you paid for the Brute2 ? . A guy at work is looking to purchase a new set.The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.
