Ranco 1290132-A24 Refrigeration Hose

The Ranco 1290132-A24 is a professional-grade 24-inch refrigeration capillary hose designed for critical pressure connections in commercial HVACR systems. This vibration-dampening pressure line features a straight x 90-degree angle configuration with 1/4-inch SAE flare nuts and built-in schrader valve depressors. Engineered to replace rigid copper capillary tubing, this flexible hose eliminates work-hardening and fatigue failures caused by compressor vibration. It is compatible with all common CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants, including high-pressure systems. Technicians utilize this Ranco pressure control hose for connecting pressure switches, oil safety controls, and gauges where space constraints or high vibration levels exist. The heavy-duty synthetic fiber reinforcement provides a high burst pressure rating while maintaining a tight bend radius for easier routing inside cramped condensing units. The straight-to-angle flare fitment ensures secure, leak-proof mechanical refrigeration connections without the need for brazing or specialized tools.

Key Benefits

• Vibration Isolation: Absorbs mechanical oscillations to prevent stress cracks common in copper capillary lines.
• Simplified Installation: The 24-inch hose length and 90-degree elbow allow for clean routing in tight control boxes.
• Universal Media Compatibility: Rated for use with standard mineral, alkylbenzene, and POE lubricants.
• Integrated Depressors: Includes core depressors for immediate pressure reading upon connection to service ports.
• Durable Construction: High-tensile strength core resistant to permeation and thermal degradation.

Common Questions

Can this hose be used on high-pressure R-410A systems?
Yes, the Ranco 1290132-A24 is designed to handle the working pressures associated with modern HFC refrigerants, provided the system pressure does not exceed the hose's rated burst capacity.

Does this hose require copper gaskets for the flare fittings?
This HVAC pressure hose utilizes standard 1/4" SAE flare fittings which create a metal-to-metal seal; however, verifying the condition of the mating flare surface is essential for a leak-free seal.

Is the 90-degree fitting rotatable?
The flare nut rotates freely to allow for alignment, but the 90-degree brass elbow itself is fixed to the hose crimp to maintain structural integrity under pressure.
