R-454B is a next-generation, low-GWP A2L refrigerant designed to replace R-410A in new air conditioning and heat pump systems. It delivers comparable performance with dramatically lower global warming potential, making it a smart, future-ready solution for residential and commercial HVAC.
🔹 Key Benefits
Ultra-Low GWP Alternative
With a GWP of approximately 466, R-454B reduces climate impact by nearly 80% compared to R-410A (GWP ~2,088).
High Efficiency, Low Emissions
Maintains similar cooling capacity and energy efficiency to R-410A, with improved environmental performance.
Mildly Flammable (A2L)
R-454B is classified as A2L – non-toxic and mildly flammable – allowing safe use in properly designed systems.
Future-Ready Choice
Compliant with evolving environmental regulations, including F-Gas and AIM Act restrictions on high-GWP refrigerants.

Important R454B Product Information
R454B is an A2L refrigerant blend for systems specifically designed and labeled for R454B. It is not interchangeable with R410A.
For R454B Systems Only Confirm R454B on the equipment nameplate
Use R454B only in equipment engineered and approved for this refrigerant and its A2L safety requirements.
- Do not add R454B to an R410A, R32, R22, or other system.
- R454B is not a universal drop-in replacement.
- Follow the manufacturer's charge limit and commissioning procedure.
A2L Safety and Ventilation Control ignition sources and use A2L-compatible tools
R454B is mildly flammable and requires trained handling, ventilation, leak checks, and controlled service conditions.
- Keep flames, sparks, and hot surfaces away from the work area.
- Use A2L-rated recovery, evacuation, leak-detection, and charging equipment.
- Follow applicable room-size and charge-limit requirements.
22 lb Blend Cylinder Factory-filled disposable steel refrigerant cylinder
The cylinder contains 22 lb (10 kg) net weight of R454B blend. Verify the product label and cylinder condition before use.
- Keep the cylinder upright and secured.
- Do not use a damaged, leaking, or altered cylinder.
- Confirm the valve connection and required quantity before ordering.
Charge the Blend as Liquid Preserve the intended refrigerant composition
R454B should normally be transferred from the cylinder in the liquid phase and charged according to the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
- Use a metering method that prevents liquid slugging.
- Do not mix R454B with another refrigerant.
- Perform required leak checks before returning equipment to service.
Certification and Storage Verify purchase eligibility and A2L storage conditions
Stationary-system refrigerant purchase and service are subject to EPA Section 608 requirements.
- The purchaser must be, or employ, an appropriately certified technician.
- Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from ignition sources.
- Review the Safety Data Sheet and Shipping & Returns tab before ordering.

FAQ
Is R454B compatible with my system?
Use R454B only in equipment specifically designed and labeled for R454B. It is not interchangeable with R410A, R32, R22, or another refrigerant. Before purchasing, check the equipment nameplate and manufacturer documentation. If you are unsure, send us a clear photo of the nameplate and consult a qualified technician.
What is R454B commonly used for?
R454B refrigerant blend is intended for compatible R454B air-conditioning, heat-pump, and HVAC equipment. The listed applications are general guidance only; the equipment nameplate and manufacturer specification determine the correct refrigerant.
How much refrigerant is included in the R454B cylinder?
The cylinder contains 22 lb (10 kg) net weight of R454B refrigerant. Net contents do not include the cylinder tare weight or outer packaging. Verify the product label, seal, and cylinder condition when the shipment arrives.
Can I mix R454B with another refrigerant or use it as a drop-in replacement?
No. Refrigerants are not interchangeable and should not be mixed. Use only the refrigerant approved for the equipment. Any conversion or retrofit must follow the equipment or retrofit manufacturer's written requirements and be completed by a qualified professional.
Do I need a certified technician to handle R454B?
R454B is an A2L refrigerant with lower flammability. Qualified professionals should use A2L-rated tools, ventilation, leak-detection, recovery, and charging procedures. Purchasing, handling, recovery, transport, and installation requirements may vary by product, application, and location. Confirm the rules that apply to you before ordering or using the product.
What are the shipping cost and delivery time for R454B?
