Description
Built for Australian refrigeration pros who work with CO₂ systems, the Mastercool 55102-1400 is a tough, oil-filled 70 mm low-side replacement gauge with a dual PSI/MPa scale. It gives you steady, accurate readings on R744—less wobble, fewer do-overs. It’s a bloody good upgrade when a gauge cops a knock.
Key Features & Trade Benefits
- R744-specific low-side gauge — Purpose-built for CO₂ service. Read what you need, fast, without second-guessing.
- 70 mm dial — Clear, high-contrast face. Easier to see on rooftops or in dim plant rooms.
- Dual scale (PSI / MPa) — Flexible units. Swap between standards on mixed-kit jobs with no mental gymnastics.
- Oil-filled movement — Damps vibration. Stable numbers mean quicker charging and fewer call-backs.
- Direct replacement fit — Designed for Mastercool manifolds. Five-minute swap and you’re back on the gauges—no worries.
- Robust build — Field-ready for daily commercial work. She’ll be right on supermarket racks and heat pump callouts.
Why This Product Matters
Real-world scenario: you’re on a supermarket CO₂ rack hunting a nuisance trip. The old low-side gauge flutters like mad and won’t settle. Pop in this oil-filled unit, and your suction pressure stabilises straight away—bang, dial-in is smooth, charge adjustments land first go. That’s time back, fewer comebacks, and a happier client.

Pro Tip
Oil-filled gauges read best upright. On high-vibration plant decks, let the needle settle for a second before logging suction. If you’re swapping both sides, replace the high-side at the same time for consistent response—future you will say “fair dinkum, that saved me.”
Compatibility & System Info
- Refrigerant: R744 (CO₂)
- Application: Low-side monitoring on CO₂ refrigeration and CO₂ heat-pump systems
- Manifolds: Direct replacement for compatible Mastercool sets (check your model before ordering)
Local note: Whether you’re on a hot Sydney roof or a chilly Melbourne plant room, the oil fill keeps readings steady when the unit or deck shakes—too easy.

FAQs
Will it fit my manifold?
It’s a direct replacement for compatible Mastercool manifolds. Match your existing gauge model and connection before purchase.
Can I use it on non-CO₂ refrigerants?
This model is optimised for R744 low-side readings. For other gases, choose the gauge specified for that refrigerant in our Refrigerant Gauges range.
