Ritchie Engineering Company Inc., manufacturer of YELLOW JACKET, has developed the first refrigerant gauge set to measure some common retrofit refrigerants.

Under the Montreal Protocol, an international treaty signed to protect the ozone layer by phasing out substances believed to cause ozone depletion, the production of HCFC refrigerants must be completely ceased by 2020, with a 75% reduction occurring by 2010.

With this deadline looming, many owners of commercial refrigeration systems, such as supermarket chains and mass retailers, are already taking steps to alter their refrigerant apparatus. This is why YELLOW JACKET is offering a set of large 3-1/8” red and blue dry manifold gauges specifically calibrated for monitoring these refrigerant alternatives. These 1% accuracy (Class 1) gauges with a front recalibrating screw are available individually or on the YELLOW JACKET TITAN 4-Valve Test and Charging Manifold.
