Frequently asked questions
How do I confirm that my refrigeration system can use R448A?
Check the equipment manufacturer or approved retrofit documentation before purchasing. Do not assume R448A compatibility simply because the system currently uses another commercial refrigeration refrigerant.
What applications commonly use R448A?
R448A is designed mainly for low- and medium-temperature commercial refrigeration. Typical applications include supermarket refrigerator and freezer cases, food retail systems, vending equipment, and transport refrigeration. It is widely used as an alternative to R404A in compatible new and retrofit systems.
How much R448A comes in each cylinder?
Each cylinder contains 25 lb (11.3 kg) of net R448A refrigerant. The cylinder and external packaging are not included in this weight.
Can R448A be mixed with R404A or another refrigerant?
No. R448A should not be mixed with an existing refrigerant charge. Follow the equipment or retrofit manufacturer's specified procedure.
Who should handle R448A?
Charging, recovery, retrofit, and repair work should be performed by a qualified commercial refrigeration professional.
How does R448A shipping work?
Shipping is free within the contiguous 48 states and Washington, D.C. Orders generally dispatch within 1 business day and are typically delivered by FedEx or UPS within 2–4 business days after shipment.
What should I do if my R448A cylinder is damaged in transit?
