Ranco 1290132-A36 Refrigeration Hose

The Ranco 1290132-A36 Refrigeration Hose is a heavy-duty solution engineered for critical high-pressure applications in commercial refrigeration and HVAC systems. Constructed with a durable Teflon tubing core and reinforced with a 304 stainless steel braided exterior, this 36-inch hose is purpose-built to eliminate failures caused by intense compressor vibration and thermal expansion. This model features a versatile configuration with one straight 7/16-20 female flare connector and one 90-degree angled flare connector, allowing for seamless integration in tight mechanical footprints where standard rigid piping is impractical. With a substantial maximum operating pressure of 3,000 PSI and a 12,000 PSI burst rating, it ensures reliable performance during refrigerant charging, recovery, and permanent pressure control installations. The 3/16-inch ID and 5/16-inch OD design maintains a 2-inch minimum bend radius, providing the flexibility needed for field-service efficiency and long-term system integrity across various refrigerant types, including R-410A and R-404A.

• Vibration Dampening: The braided stainless steel armor protects the internal PTFE line from fatigue and mechanical stress common in commercial condenser units.
• High Pressure Tolerance: Rated for up to 3,000 PSI, making it suitable for high-side pressure controls and modern high-pressure refrigerants.
• Flexible Geometry: The 36" length combined with a 90-degree angled fitting simplifies connections to pressure switches and manifold ports in cramped cabinets.
• Vacuum Rated: Maintains structural integrity under deep vacuum conditions down to 28 in./Hg for clean system evacuations.
• Chemical Compatibility: Inert Teflon lining ensures resistance against various oils and refrigerants without degradation.

Is the Ranco 1290132-A36 compatible with R-410A systems?
Yes, its 3,000 PSI operating pressure rating and robust stainless steel braiding are specifically designed to safely handle the elevated pressures of R-410A alongside standard CFC, HCFC, and HFC refrigerants.

Can this hose be used for permanent pressure control mounting?
Absolutely. Technicians frequently use this hose to connect remote pressure controls to the suction or discharge lines to prevent capillary tube fractures caused by system vibration.

What are the specific fitting sizes for this model?
The hose is equipped with 7/16-20 female flare fittings (standard 1/4" SAE flare) on both ends, featuring one straight and one 90-degree angle connector for installation versatility.
