Confirm the equipment specifies R448A or follow a manufacturer- approved R448A retrofit procedure.
Use suitable recovery, evacuation and charging tools, and never mix R448A with another refrigerant.
Charge R448A as liquid and follow the equipment and refrigerant manufacturer’s instructions.
R448A should only be used in compatible commercial refrigeration equipment that specifies R448A, or where the manufacturer provides an approved R448A retrofit procedure.
R448A is not a universal drop-in replacement. Confirm compressor, expansion device, lubricant and control compatibility.No. R448A must not be mixed with R404A, R449A, R407F or any other refrigerant. Mixing refrigerants can affect system performance, operating pressure and safety.
Use only the refrigerant specified by the equipment manufacturer.This product is supplied in a factory-sealed, disposable refrigerant cylinder and is not designed to be refilled. Do not modify, puncture or reuse the cylinder.
Follow the cylinder label and applicable local disposal and recycling requirements.Keep the cylinder upright and secured in a cool, dry and well-ventilated location. Protect it from direct sunlight, excessive heat, flames and physical damage.
R448A is classified as an A1 refrigerant and the cylinder is pressurized. Always follow the product label and safety data sheet.Properly stored refrigerant in an unopened and undamaged factory-sealed cylinder can remain stable for an extended period. Before use, inspect the cylinder, valve, label and seal for damage, corrosion or leakage.
R448A should be handled by trained and appropriately certified HVAC professionals using suitable recovery, evacuation and charging equipment for R448A refrigerant blends.
Refrigerant sales and servicing may be subject to EPA technician certification requirements.R448A is an A1 refrigerant intended for compatible equipment and professional handling. Never mix it with another refrigerant.
