Refrigerant 134A
The standard refrigerant choice for:
- Household appliances
- Small self contained units
- Very large chillers
- Automotive air conditioning
- Available in 30 lb. Cylinders and 12 oz. cans
Since the phaseout of R-12, R-134A has grown to become the standard refrigerant choice for household appliances, small self-contained refrigeration units, very large chillers, and automotive air conditioning.
R-134A is an HFC refrigerant, which requires POE lubricant to be used in the compressor.
NORMAL HANDLING AND STORAGE
Always wear recommended personal protective equipment.
Avoid breathing vapors and liquid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Do not puncture or drop cylinders, expose them to open flame or excessive heat. Use authorized cylinders only. Follow standard safety precautions for handling and use of compressed gas cylinders.
R-134A should not be mixed with air above atmospheric pressure for leak testing or any other purpose.
STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS:
Store in a cool, well-ventilated area of low fire risk and out of direct sunlight. Protect cylinder and its fittings from physical damage. Storage in subsurface locations should be avoided. Close valve tightly after use and when empty.
