Why Black Knight

Class 1.6 calibrated.

Plug-and-play.

Pro-grade replacement.

HCPRO Black Knight replacement gauges are the same Class 1.6 calibrated analog gauges that ship in our full manifold sets — pre-calibrated per refrigerant family, shock-proof rubber cover, standard 1/4″ SAE rear connection. Drop-in compatible with every Black Knight manifold and most professional HVAC manifolds on the market.

Class 1.6 calibrated accuracy

Every Black Knight replacement gauge ships pre-calibrated to Class 1.6 accuracy — ±1.6% of full scale across the operating range. 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 paying for lab-grade gauges.

Plug-and-play 1/4″ SAE replacement

Standard 1/4″ SAE rear connection — the universal pro HVAC manifold fitting. Drop-in compatible with every Black Knight manifold model AND most professional 80mm / 68mm HVAC manifolds on the market (Yellow Jacket, Robinair, CPS, etc.). No special tools, no calibration step, no field adjustment. Replace a damaged gauge in under 5 minutes and get the manifold back on the truck.

Shock-proof rubber cover

Shock-proof rubber cover wraps every Black Knight replacement gauge — protects against drops, bench impacts, and the rough handling that retires consumer-tier gauges fast. Same protective construction as the gauges shipping in our full Black Knight manifold sets. The cover also acts as a non-slip grip when threading the gauge into a manifold body.

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 — toggle to Gauge Replacement and filter by the refrigerant calibration you need (HVAC HFC / Refrigeration / Hydrocarbon / A2L / Mobile A/C) and gauge size (68mm or 80mm). Each gauge's refrigerant scope and scale show in the hero pills on its product page.

Will this gauge fit my manifold?

If your manifold uses a standard 1/4″ SAE rear connection for the gauges (which most professional HVAC manifolds do — including all Black Knight models, Yellow Jacket, Robinair, CPS, and others), yes. Check the gauge size first: 68mm goes in compact / economy manifolds, 80mm (3-1/8″) goes in the full-face pro manifolds. Pick the size that matches the gauge you're replacing.

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 replacement gauge calibrated for?

Each Black Knight replacement gauge is pre-calibrated for a specific refrigerant family — check the hero pills at the top of this page or the product title for the specific scope. Black Knight gauge replacements cover: HVAC HFC (R-410A / R-22 / R-404A / R-134a), Commercial Refrigeration (R-134a / R-404A / R-407C / R-507), Hydrocarbon (R-32 / R-290 / R-600), A2L Transition (R-32 / R-410A / R-454B), and Mobile A/C (R-1234YF).

Can I use this gauge on a non-Black-Knight manifold?

Yes — the standard 1/4″ SAE rear connection fits most professional HVAC manifolds (Yellow Jacket, Robinair, CPS, Imperial, and others) as long as they use the same fitting standard. Class 1.6 accuracy is the pro service tier, so you may actually upgrade an older manifold's gauge accuracy by installing a Black Knight replacement. Verify the gauge size (68mm or 80mm) matches your manifold before ordering.

How do I know if my gauge needs replacement?

Signs of a failed or out-of-calibration gauge: (1) needle reads non-zero at atmospheric pressure (with hoses disconnected), (2) face fogs from internal moisture, (3) needle sticks or jumps under steady pressure, (4) rubber cover degrades and stops protecting the case, (5) readings disagree with a known-good gauge by more than ±1.6% on the same pressure source. Any one of these = time to replace.

Can I return an unused gauge?

Yes — free returns within 30 days for unused replacement gauges in original packaging. Once a gauge has been threaded into a manifold body, it's considered used and not eligible for return (we can't resell an installed gauge). Read our full return policy.

Do you offer bulk pricing on replacement gauges?

Yes — trade pricing on this page, plus volume discounts for shops keeping replacement gauge inventory across multiple manifold sets. Email hcproproductsusa@gmail.com with your gauge mix and quantities and we'll send a custom quote within 24 hours.
