Message	I've heard from multiple sources that it's a one-shot deal, but I've also heard from a few people that they've blown the release valve, then recharged their systems and went along their merry way. For what it's worth, the R134A valve fits the R12 pipe (the pipes are the same) and actually blows at a slightly lower pressure. I think 526psi vs 540psi for the R12 valve. If someone has a bad R12 relief valve, the R134A valve can be used as a replacement.
