R12 High Side Gauge - CPS Products

Part #: S206

The CPS Products S206 R12 High Side Gauge is a precision instrument engineered for professional technicians working with legacy R12 automotive and industrial A/C systems. This durable gauge delivers accurate high-side pressure readings, critical for precise diagnostics, efficient system charging, and verifying the performance of vintage equipment. It serves as an essential tool for servicing classic cars and older industrial setups that continue to operate on R12 refrigerant.

Key Features

  • R12-Specific Calibration: Exclusively calibrated for R12 refrigerant systems, ensuring the accuracy required for maintaining classic cars, light trucks, and older industrial air conditioning units. This specialized calibration is crucial for proper diagnostics and service of R12 systems.
  • Reliable High-Side Diagnostics: Provides accurate high-side pressure measurement during operation, charging, or recovery, aiding in the identification of system restrictions, overcharge/undercharge conditions, and compressor performance issues.
  • Durable Professional Construction: Built to withstand demanding daily use with a robust metal case, a clear 2.5" (68 mm) dial, and a sturdy 1/8" NPT brass connection.
  • Clear, Stable Display: Features a large, color-coded face and a no-flutter design for stable, easy-to-read measurements, even in active work environments. This anti-flutter feature reduces needle fluctuation and increases reading accuracy.
  • Field Recalibratable: Front calibration access allows technicians to maintain the gauge's accuracy over time, extending its service life and reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Applications

This high-side gauge is designed for professional use in:

  • Servicing and diagnosing R12 automotive air conditioning systems on classic cars, light trucks, and specialty vehicles still operating on R12.
  • Monitoring high-side pressure during R12 charging, recovery, and performance checks in both automotive and industrial settings.
  • Troubleshooting condenser airflow issues, system restrictions, or compressor performance on R12-based A/C circuits.
  • Seamless integration into existing R12 manifold gauge sets for dedicated legacy system service.
