Tracerline R-134a Hose/Coupler w/Check Valve & Purge Fitting (TP11)

The Tracerline R-134a Hose/Coupler w/Check Valve & Purge Fitting (TP11) is an essential component for professional automotive technicians performing A/C system diagnostics. This specialized 8-inch (20 cm) hose assembly is designed to work exclusively with Tracerline’s BigEZ™ dye injector systems, providing a secure and efficient connection for injecting fluorescent leak detection dye into R-134a refrigerant systems. The TP11 is engineered with critical features that enhance safety and accuracy during the leak detection process. Its built-in check valve is a vital safety mechanism that prevents refrigerant from flowing back into the dye injector, safeguarding both the equipment and the technician.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Designed for BigEZ™ Systems: Specifically engineered to connect seamlessly with Tracerline’s BigEZ™ dye injector assemblies, ensuring a perfect fit and reliable performance.
• Integrated Check Valve: Prevents refrigerant from flowing back into the dye injector, protecting the equipment and preventing refrigerant loss during the injection process.
• Purge Fitting: Allows for the easy removal of air from the hose assembly before dye injection, which is a critical step to prevent system contamination and ensure accurate diagnostics.
• Efficient and Precise Dye Injection: Provides a secure connection to the vehicle’s low-side A/C service port, enabling a clean and precise injection of fluorescent dye to effectively locate leaks.
• R-134a System Compatibility: Exclusively designed for use with R-134a automotive air conditioning systems, making it a targeted solution for modern vehicle diagnostics.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Part Number: TP11
• Refrigerant Compatibility: R-134a
• Length: 8 inches (20 cm)
• Includes: R-134a Hose/Coupler, Check Valve, Purge Fitting, and BigEZ™ adapter

HOW TO USE:

• Connect the TP11 R-134a Hose/Coupler to your Tracerline BigEZ™ dye injector assembly by screwing the adapter end onto the injector. Ensure the connection is tight and secure.
• With the vehicle’s A/C system running, locate the low-side service port.
• Connect the coupler end of the TP11 hose to the low-side service port. The system pressure will cause the hose to fill with refrigerant.
• Depress the purge fitting to release the trapped air from the hose, listening for the hiss of air escaping.
• Once the air is purged, use the BigEZ™ injector to inject the appropriate amount of fluorescent dye into the A/C system.
• When finished, disconnect the TP11 from the service port.

BENEFITS OF USING TRACERLINE R-134A HOSE/COUPLER W/CHECK VALVE & PURGE FITTING (TP11):
