Ranco 1290132-A48 Refrigeration Hose

The Ranco 1290132-A48 is a professional-grade 48-inch high-pressure refrigerant hose engineered for the rigors of commercial refrigeration and industrial HVACR maintenance. This heavy-duty assembly features a Teflon inner core reinforced by high-tensile 304 stainless steel braiding, a construction specifically designed to manage high-frequency compressor vibration and prevent fatigue-related failures. Unlike standard charging lines, this hose is built for critical applications where leak resistance and physical durability are non-negotiable.

For technicians navigating tight mechanical rooms, the straight x 90-degree angle 1/4" SAE flare connections provide a significant advantage in accessibility. Rated for a 3,000 PSI maximum operating pressure and a 12,000 PSI minimum burst pressure, it is fully compatible with modern high-pressure refrigerants including R-410A, R-404A, and R-134a. The 3/16" I.D. maintains high flow rates during charging or recovery, while the 2.0-inch minimum bend radius ensures flexibility without kinking or restricting refrigerant flow.

• Vibration Dampening: The stainless steel braid absorbs mechanical oscillation, protecting control lines from work-hardening and rupture.
• High Pressure Rating: Rated for up to 3,000 PSI working pressure, making it safer for high-head pressure systems.
• Chemical Compatibility: The Teflon core is inert and highly resistant to a wide range of oils and refrigerants.
• Vacuum Integrity: Rated for vacuums down to 28 in/Hg, ensuring reliable moisture evacuation during system startups.

Is the 1290132-A48 compatible with R-410A systems?
Yes, its 3,000 PSI operating limit comfortably exceeds the requirements for residential and commercial R-410A high-side pressures.

Does this hose include a core depressor?
The angled 7/16-20 female flare fitting is designed for standard service port access and includes a depressor to actuate Schrader valves effectively.

Can this be used for deep vacuum applications?
While rated for 28 in/Hg, it is optimized for high-pressure control and charging. For deep evacuations below 500 microns, we recommend dedicated large-diameter vacuum hoses to maximize conductance.
