Pet peeve of mine, too.  The correct Dupont brand name for R134a is 
Suva.  The ports for R134a are generally sized so you can only hook 
up the connectors the correct way.  In other words, you can't hook up 
a low side adaptor to a high side port.  So if the adaptor that 
generally comes with a can hooks up to the port, then it's the correct one.
