- 3 Cans of R1234YF Geniune Honeywell Refrigerant Freon Cans
- Free Guage
- Perfect for recharging AC in the summer
- Fit type: Universal
- Part number: R134YFTOK
- Authentic HFO-R1234YF - This product should only be used in R1234YF systems. Please check the service sticker on your system or vehicle to identify the system type. This kit also includes a ZeroR service label for easy identification of the servce date and working pressures.
- 8 oz Cans – Cans are 8 oz net weight. Gas is measured in weight when compressed. Please don’t shake the can and think that it doesn’t feel full. Rest assured that it is. Different gases have different weights when compressed.
- Reverse Threads - These R1234YF cans are different from the older, more traditional, cans of refrigerant such as R134a. They have left hand, or reverse threads. This means you will need to turn the can counter clockwise to insert into your charging hose can tap.
- PERFORMANCE BOOSTER CHARGE KIT - ZeroR is a performance booster for use with R1234YF AC systems. You can use as many cans in your system as you wish, while being sure not to overfill the system with the included can tap with gauge.
- KIT CONTENTS - The can tap is 24 in length with a gauge metered for R1234YF systems. Standard R1234YF can taps will not work on ZeroR branded R1234YF cans, because our cans have a unique thread. 3 cans of ZeroR Permafrost in 4oz cans.
- NOT A Full Refrigerant - This product is a support fluid performance booster. It is a combination of two ZeroR products in one. The first part removes moisture (moisture can cause damage and reduced performance in the system), and the second part reduces friction (friction can reduce refrigerant flow and cause compressor damage)
- 24 in Charging Hose with Can Tap & Gauge - New longer 24 inch connection hose accomodates those harder to reach low side ports that were previously difficult to reach with a shorter 12 inch hose.
- 10 MINUTE INSTALL - Easy instructions are included and will take as little as 10 minutes to complete.

- 24″ Heavy Duty Brass Can Tap & Gauge – New longer 24″ connection hose accommodates those harder to reach low side ports that were previously difficult to reach with a shorter 12″ hose. The can tap has reverse, “left-hand” threads, that matches the threads on the R1234YF can.
