    Hi all. Need your help.

    My AC system is empty and I want to charge it.

    Need to know which charging valve is the High Pressure one and which is the Low Pressure one.
    Both are identical and with a black screwed cap.

    I think the #1 (near the dryer) is the HP one, and the #2 is the LP one.
    can someone confirm?

    And what is the approximative R12 refrigerant system capacity?

    Effectively, I made a charge using the #2 LP valve and now my AC works perfectly.

    I don't use r134, I made the charge with Duracool12a (2 ½ X 6 oz. cans) + Duradry (1 X 6 oz. can).
