Why Black Knight Economy

Forged brass.

Compact 68mm gauges.

Value-tier Black Knight.

The HCPRO Black Knight Economy manifold is the value-tier entry into the Black Knight lineup — same forged brass build and Dual Force premium black hose technology as the full pro series, in a more compact 68mm gauge footprint with 3 ft hoses. Built for apprentices, backup-manifold use, mini-split installers, and °C-documented markets. Engineered for HVAC contractors who can't afford a manifold that fails on the rooftop — and need a manifold that holds calibration through truck-life vibration.

Forged brass body, no shortcuts

Heavy-duty forged brass 2-valve manifold body — the professional service standard for charging, evacuation, and diagnostics. No-leak neoprene O-ring system, easy-grip hex handles. Built for the rough handling of daily service truck use — drops, vibration, temperature swings. Smooth piston-type valves give you precision control on charging and recovery without the chatter of cheap stamped-brass bodies.

68mm Class 1.6 compact °C dual-scale gauges

Compact 68mm analog gauges with Class 1.6 accuracy and dual-scale °C / PSI readings, pre-calibrated for R-410A, R-22, and R-404A. Shock-proof rubber covers protect against drops. The smaller face is the right call when you want a tighter, lighter manifold for compact equipment work or as a backup unit.

Dual Force premium black hoses

Standard 3-hose set — HCPRO Dual Force premium black with color-coded indicator lines (red high, blue low, yellow service / vacuum). The Dual Force jacket is the HCPRO professional hose technology — premium black braided construction reads clean on the truck and on the rooftop, while the color-coded indicator line keeps you oriented at the service port without the cheap rainbow look of consumer hoses. Rated 800 PSI working / 4,000 PSI burst, low-loss fittings, standard 1/4" SAE connections. Available in Premium Standard, Premium Anti-Blowback, and Premium Ball Valve tiers per SKU.

Full Product Description

The HCPRO Black Knight HC-E2V1C3P is an economy 2-valve manifold gauge set for R-410A, R-22 and R-404A — with 800 PSI Celsius gauges and three 3-foot hoses.

Key features

Common questions

Answers from the warehouse floor.

Still stuck? Call our techs at 305-720-0044.

Does HCPRO warranty the products?

Yes — every HCPRO Black Knight product ships with a 1-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects under normal professional use. We'll replace the manifold, gauges, or hoses if they fail to meet stated specs. See our full warranty terms.

Which Black Knight manifold should I pick?

Use the tool finder above — filter by the refrigerants you work with most, your preferred hose length, and the hose tier (standard / premium / anti-blowback / ball-valve). The HC-2V2F5AB is our flagship for HVAC contractors running R-410A, R-22, R-404A, and R-134a. For hydrocarbon (R-32 / R-290 / R-600) or A2L modern refrigerants, see the dedicated R-32 / R-454B sets.

What does "anti-blowback" actually do?

Anti-blowback hose fittings have an internal check valve that closes when you disconnect from the service port, preventing the refrigerant in the hose from venting into the room. Three benefits: (1) you don't lose 1-2 oz of refrigerant per disconnect, (2) you don't contaminate the work area with R-410A vapor, (3) you stay in compliance with EPA Section 608 service practice standards. Standard hoses vent every time — anti-blowback hoses don't.

What does "Class 1.6" gauge accuracy mean?

Class 1.6 is the European Standard for analog pressure gauge accuracy — readings are within ±1.6% of full scale across the operating range. For a 500 PSI gauge, that's ±8 PSI. This is the professional service tier (Class 2.5 is consumer-grade, Class 1.0 is lab-grade). Class 1.6 gives you the precision needed for proper subcool / superheat charging without the cost of lab-grade gauges.

What refrigerants is this manifold for?

This set ships pre-calibrated for R-410A, R-22, R-404A, and R-134a. For R-32 / R-454B / R-290 / R-600 hydrocarbon refrigerants, see the dedicated R-32 manifold (HC-2V2Y3P or the hydrocarbon brass set). For R-1234YF mobile A/C, see the Black Knight R-1234YF set with quick-connect adapters.

Can I use these hoses on a different manifold body?

Yes — the 60″ anti-blowback hoses use standard 1/4″ SAE connections and fit any HVAC manifold with the same fitting standard (which is most professional manifolds on the market). You can buy replacement Black Knight hoses separately if you want to upgrade an older manifold body without replacing the gauges.

Can I replace just one gauge if it breaks?

Yes — we sell 3-1/8″ replacement gauges separately in °F/PSI and °C/PSI variants, pre-calibrated for R-410A/R-22/R-404A/R-134a or for R-1234YF, R-32, R-290/R-600. See the replacement gauge collection or use the tool finder above to filter by your refrigerant.

Can I return an unused manifold set?

Yes — free returns within 30 days for unused sets in original packaging with all hoses, gauges, and inserts present. Read our full return policy.

Do you offer fleet pricing for shops?

Yes — trade pricing on this page, plus volume discounts for shops outfitting multiple service trucks. Email hcproproductsusa@gmail.com with your fleet size and we'll send a custom quote within 24 hours.
