The Fieldpiece SMAN360 3-Port Digital Manifold has been discontinued.
Fieldpiece is never afraid
to innovate and release products they feel will make a big splash in the HVAC industry. The SMAN360 is one of these innovations that will be welcomed I am sure. It is a redesign of the SMAN3 and it is jam packed with features.
Vacuum Gauges are very important
tools that assist you during any HVAC job where you are evacuating a system. When you pull a vacuum on a system to completely “dry” a system and remove all contaminants it is important to know if everyone is working as intended. This is where the Yellow Jacket eVac I and eVac II Digital Vacuum Gauge earn their stripes. The eVac I is the bare bones variety of vacuum gauges but that does not mean it is junky.
Hello all. Today we are going to have a look at a relatively easy to use product that saves you the headache of having to do complex math on the job – the Yellow Jacket 69196 SuperHeat SubCool Calculator. For those who don’t know, superheat is the degrees a vapor is above its boiling point at a certain pressure and the subcool value is the number of degrees below the boiling point.
Greetings. Today we’re going to take a look at a line of Bacharach products designed for the analysis of refrigerants used in HVAC work. We will have a look first at the model on the lower end of the price spectrum and then show the more advanced model and see what that extra bang you get for the buck.
Are you still using your Brass 2-Valve Manifold
and gauges to analyze refrigerant systems? Do you enjoy picking up some brontosaurus ribs with the family? You might be living in the Stone Age where life is unnecessarily harder than it should be. Now I am not saying you should forgo all things analog and fully submerge yourself into a digital lifestyle, but when it comes to HVAC work, a little bit of shiny new tech never killed anyone.
Yellow Jacket, a Ritchie Engineering Company, is a proud
manufacturer of built in the USA Vacuum Pumps. The Yellow Jacket Bullet series is their economical line of vacuum pumps but that doesn’t mean they are cheaply made. These vacuum pumps are available in 3, 5, and 7 CFM Models depending on the size of the system you are looking to evacuate. They all feature a wide base with rubber legs to keep them in place during use.
Instruments that measure air velocity and air/surface temperatures are one of the most important tools an HVAC tech will have in his tool box. With these meters seeing everyday use, it is imperative that you understand the limitations of certain instruments and select the correct one. Having the right tool will help grow your business and will pay for itself and then some. With so many options out there, I wanted to highlight a few models from Extech and discuss what sets them apart.
Today I will be going over the TSI 9515 VelociCalc Air Velocity Meter. 
This meter is an excellent entry level air velocity meter for the professional HVAC technician. The TSI 9515 separates itself from the plethora of air velocity meters in this price range by having a range of 0 to 4,000 ft/min (0 to 20 m/s) and an accuracy of 5%.
This is a follow up to the smash hit, must read blog of the summer
, Fieldpiece CO Detector Accessory Head. All kidding aside, the ATIR3 IR Thermometer Accessory Head by Fieldpiece is a much simpler product that every HVAC technician worth his weight in refrigerant will use.
When we last left off, I gave a small introduction to Fieldpiece and
their philosophy regarding Multimeters in the HVAC world. Today we are going to discuss their HS36 TRMS Stick Meter. The Fieldpiece HS36 TRMS Stick Multimeter represents the top of the line Stick meter that Fieldpiece currently offers. For those unfamiliar with Stick style meters, this post should be a great introduction.
