Fieldpiece Instruments has launched new refrigerant analog gauge sets aimed at HVACR service work, including system diagnostics, refrigerant recovery, pressure testing, and charging. The company says the new gauges are designed to combine rugged construction with clear readings for everyday use.
According to Fieldpiece, the gauge sets measure system pressure and saturation temperature to help technicians verify performance and diagnose refrigerant issues. The 3-port and 4-port models include an integrated sight glass to view refrigerant flow and condition, and a rotating pressure marker for referencing target system pressure or the initial pressure during nitrogen pressure tests.
Fieldpiece states that all gauges are compatible with A1, A2L, and A3 refrigerants. HVAC gauge sets include four refrigerant saturation temperature rings for R22, R32, R454B, and R410A, while refrigeration gauge sets support R134A, R404A, R407C, and R448A.
Additional design elements listed by the company include a rubberized protective housing, piston valves for control, high-grip valve knobs, swappable hose seats (1/4-inch standard, 5/16-inch optional) (6.35 mm standard, 7.94 mm optional), and a rotating hanging hook that folds into the housing. Fieldpiece also referenced its digital SMAN manifold and wireless probes alongside analog gauges as options for refrigerant diagnostics.
“Technicians learn on analog gauges, and many continue to use them throughout their careers,” said Craig Rodriguez, Vice President of Commercial at Fieldpiece Instruments.
