MalcoEdge™ ES3614 Easy Seal HVAC Hose Set
The MalcoEdge™ ES3614 Easy Seal 36-Inch Hose Set is designed for professional HVAC-R technicians who demand durability and secure connections during refrigerant charging and recovery. With 1/4 SAE x 1/4 SAE patented swivel design, this flexible hose ensures leak-free performance and allows for 360 degree rotation of the swivel joint during use, eliminating the potential for fittings to loosen and cause refrigerant loss. Built for ease of use and long-lasting performance, the hose features strong construction for high-pressure applications, making it an essential tool for routine service work and system maintenance.

FAQs
Q: What do I do if the seals on my Easy Seal hoses leak?
A: Malco sells replacement seals to allow you to replace your seals in the field and
extend the life of your hoses.
Q: Does hose length matter when pulling a vacuum?
A: Yes, the shorter the hose and the larger the diameter, such as a 3/8″ MalcoEdge
Turbo Flow hose will be more efficient when vacuum is pulled.
Q: Can I use the same hoses with a variety of refrigerants?
A: MalcoEdge hoses are compatible with popular refrigerants however we do not
recommend using multiple refrigerants in the same hoses unless you take the time
to flush the hoses using a product such as ACE Powerflush. Alternatively, we
recommend you use different hoses for specific refrigerants to prevent cross
contamination of refrigerants from oils remaining in the hoses.
Q: Do I need to flush and clean my equipment when switching between refrigerants?
A: Some refrigerants cannot be mixed as they use different lubricants. As a best practice,
the hoses, manifolds, and other components need to be flushed using a cleaner to ensure
they do not cross contaminate. We recommend flushing the system with ACE Powerflush
between services.
Q: What are the working and burst pressures for these hoses?
A: The working pressure pressure is 800 PSI and the burst pressure is 4000 PSI.
Q: What do I do if my hoses are either engaging a Schrader valve too early or not
engaging a valve enough to fully open the valve?
A: The core depressors are threaded. Adjust the height of the core depressor by screwing
further in or out.
