Celebrating 75 years in business, Ritchie Engineering and YELLOW JACKET® have rolled out many innovative products over the years. This week we take a trip to the Ritchie Museum to take a look at just how much some products have changed over the years. We looked at old vacuum pump with a 4-valve manifold attached, followed by the BULLET® DC Vacuum Pump, which is easy to carry, A2L compatible, and is made to handle most residential and commercial applications.

The fast and easy way to evacuate refrigerant before disposal of a unit, the YELLOW JACKET® Refrigerant Piercing Pliers P/N 60720 can be used to puncture the refrigerant tube to recover old refrigerant. This tool provides immediate and maximum full flow to the recovery unit by snapping onto refrigerant lines and puncturing a large hole. It can also be used as an alternative to piercing valves for sealed refrigerant service on A3 systems for temporary installation. The adjustable pliers fits all sizes of hard tubing from 3/16” to 1” O.D. To learn more, visit: https://yellowjacket.com/product/refrigerant-piercing-pliers/

As the seasons shift from frosty to toasty, it’s time to crank up the cool factor with A2L compatible tools to service systems and solve problems. YELLOW JACKET® offers a wide range of A2L Compatible HVAC/R Service Tools…from recovery machines, vacuum pumps, leak detector, refrigerant charging scale, YJACK® series of wireless probes to manifolds, hoses and adapters.

The YJACK FLOW™ Wireless Anemometer by YELLOW JACKET® is the newest member of the YJACK® Series Wireless Probes. The YJACK FLOW™ PN 67069 measures the air speed in ducts and ventilation systems and meets AHRI standards. YJACK FLOW™ takes accurate air flow measurements up to 30 m/s, measuring the entire duct flow to account for turbulence or completes a single line air flow for fast duct to duct flow comparisons.

Use the AccuProbe™ IR with infrared sensor for ultimate sensitivity, accuracy and reliability. Identifying the smallest leaks is fast and easy. The YELLOW JACKET® AccuProbe™ IR detects all CFC, HCFC, HFC, HFO refrigerants, including R-134A, R-404A, R-410A and R-1234YF and A2L refrigerants R-32 and R-454B. The SmartAlarm® LED shows the size of the leak on a rising scale. Coupled with two modes for sensitivity gives the AccuProbe™ IR the ability to locate a leak of any size.

It all started back in 1946, when the late Jack Ritchie founded Ritchie Engineering Company in Minneapolis, MN as a fabrication/manufacturer’s representative organization. Jack worked hard and in 1949 he created a high-quality charging hose. Jack picked yellow for the color of the hose – which later became the industry standard for refrigerant. The color stuck with Jack and inspired the name YELLOW JACKET®. Today, that hose is known as the YELLOW JACKET® Charging Hose and remains the best-selling refrigeration recovery hose in the industry for 75 years.

The new A2L refrigerants, R-32 and R-454A, have adopted left-handed connections for their tanks. These new refrigerants are categorized as slightly flammable, so left-handed connections were implemented to differentiate them from A1, non-flammable refrigerants. The YELLOW JACKET® A2L Tank Adapters and Charging Hoses incorporate left-handed connections so a service technician can safely charge A2L refrigerant systems.

The YELLOW JACKET® ManCover™ P/N 49095 provides protection for your most trusted testing instruments. Durable rubber material provides ‘bounce’ protection in the van and on the jobsite. Gauge faces are protected from damage while the large opening allows hoses to remain connected. The hook slot makes it easy to slip the cover over most manifolds for hanging in the van or on the jobsite (see the Magnetic Hook P/N 61193). ManCover™ protects the YELLOW JACKET® TITAN®, BRUTE®, BRUTE II®, Series 41 Manifolds and many other manifolds. More information at: https://yellowjacket.com/product/mancover/
