00:00AC can tap versus thread adapter, which refills R134A?
00:04So you need R134A, and you're staring at two little metal fittings wondering which one actually fits.
00:11Here's the thing, a can tap opens your refrigerant can so you can run it off a gauge hose.
00:16A thread adapter screws onto the service port.
00:19Some of these combine both.
00:22I went through the top sellers on AC can tap versus thread adapter, which refills R134A,
00:27and these are the best deals I found.
00:30Starting with the auto AC can tap for valve bottle opener CT341, 1 quarter SAE, 1034.
00:37This is the multi-refrigerant one.
00:40Same tool handles are 22, are R134A, and are 410A, so if you touch more than one car,
00:46you're not swapping adapters mid-job.
00:494,632 sold, rated 4.7.
00:53It's the priciest of the five, but it's the one I'd keep on the key ring.
00:57Next up, tap valve bottle opener CT341 for 7 16ths 28 UNF thread dividing valves, 586.
01:06This one's the adapter side, and the star is that 7 16ths by 28 UNF thread, that's what you'll find
01:11on a lot of import and older service ports.
01:14Same 4,600 sold, rating 4.6.
01:18Half the price of the $10 one, and it's the piece that actually makes a standard can work with your
01:23low-side gauge set.
01:25Third is the SAE Auto AC can tap valve bottle opener, are 134 AM 14 and a quarter-inch, 517.
01:33The best feature here is leak-proof.
01:36You crack a can, refrigerant starts weeping out of a loose fitting, and you're paying twice for the same gas
01:41plus leaving a mess on your driveway.
01:43This one holds pressure.
01:46Highest rating in the group at 4.9, 2200, make that 4,224 sold.
01:52My money pick, easy.
01:55Then the new one PCS for CT341-337, 1 quarter SA and 7 16ths 28 UNF thread, 924.
02:03This is the 2 for 1 option, tap and adapter in the same body, so one tool covers both the
02:08can side and the port side.
02:10Rated a perfect 5.3525 sold.
02:15Honestly, it's cheaper than buying the 517 and the 586 together, so if you need both halves, this is the
02:21smarter stack.
02:23Alright, links for all 5 are in the description below.
02:27Quick recap, 517 for the leak-proof daily driver, 207 for a one-time top-up, 924 if you want
02:33both halves in one piece.
