Boat Fridge & Small Car AC Recharge Kit - Climapure 12a & R134a

The Climapure 12a Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Pack is the ideal technological assembly for restoring the performance of your small-volume refrigeration systems. Designed to offer an ecological and high-performance alternative to older-generation refrigerants, this ready-to-use kit combines a 170-gram high-purity hydrocarbon gas canister with a precision DC402 recharge kit equipped with a modular dual-connection hose. It is the preferred all-in-one solution for efficiently maintaining compact refrigerant circuits, without requiring heavy tooling, a professional manifold, or complex installations.

A high-efficiency eco-responsible hydrocarbon refrigerant

The 170 g Climapure 12a gas canister (EAN : 3760373881565) stands out for its superior thermodynamic efficiency, enabling advantageous replacement of older-generation refrigerants R12 and R134a as well as Duracool 12a. Composed of meticulously purified hydrocarbons, this gas features larger molecules that drastically limit the risk of micro-leaks within the circuit over the long term. Its environmental impact is virtually neutral: it displays a minimal global warming potential (GWP), well below conventional HFCs, while reducing mechanical stress on the compressor and the overall energy consumption of the installation. It is the ideal substitute choice for technicians and informed users who wish to extend the service life of their equipment while adopting a responsible approach.

Unmatched connection flexibility thanks to the DC402 hose

The key strength of this pack lies in the ingenuity of the DC402 connection kit (EAN : 3760235768591). Its premium hose natively integrates two female low-pressure (LP) fittings: a 1/4 SAE thread dedicated to the 12a format, and a quick-connect R134a coupler directly screwed onto the 1/4 SAE base. This dual mechanical connectivity allows instant switching from one standard to another, ensuring a hermetic and secure connection during fluid injection, without pressure loss or risky handling. Whether your circuit is equipped with a 12a valve or a standard low-pressure R134a valve, a single kit is sufficient for both situations.

Advanced modularity: adapt your fitting to any coupler

Beyond its native dual connectivity, the DC402 kit offers a third dimension of adaptability that is often overlooked: the low-pressure R134a fitting attached to the hose is fully removable. This open mechanical architecture allows you to remove the R134a LP coupler and substitute any third-party adapter equipped with a 1/4 SAE male end. In practical terms, this means you can connect:

• A high-pressure (HP) R134a fitting for circuits requiring injection on the HP side,
• An HFO coupler (R1234yf type or equivalent) via adapter, for recent vehicles using these new-generation refrigerants,
• Any other specific fitting with a 1/4 SAE male end, thus covering uncommon industrial or specialized applications.

This modularity makes the DC402 a truly versatile tool, whose value far exceeds that of a simple disposable recharge kit.

Maximum adaptability for all your small compressors

This kit is specifically calibrated for any small-volume refrigeration equipment whose compressor operates on R134a or 12a: boat fridge (12 V or 24 V), small city car or electric microcar equipped with an auxiliary compressor, light commercial vehicle, motorhome or converted van, air-conditioned golf cart, portable mini-freezer or camping refrigerator, compact commercial or market display fridge, or any compact domestic refrigeration appliance using these refrigerants. The rule is simple: if your equipment has a small compressor running on R134a or 12a and features an accessible low-pressure service valve, this pack is made for it.

Guided installation and essential safety instructions

The installation is guided and secured by the control pressure gauge integrated into the DC402 kit, enabling real-time monitoring of the low-pressure circuit pressure throughout the entire charging phase and preventing overpressure that could damage your compressor. During handling, connect the appropriate fitting to the low-pressure valve of your appliance, canister upside down for hydrocarbon gases in order to allow controlled liquid-phase injection. Always work in a well-ventilated space, away from any flame, spark source, or heating element. Never charge a circuit with an unrepaired leak. Once the operation is complete, store any remaining gas in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, to preserve the integrity of your valves and avoid any unintentional pressure build-up.
