R-448A is a next-generation, low-GWP HFC/HFO blend refrigerant designed to replace R-404A and R-507 in commercial refrigeration systems. It delivers comparable performance with significantly lower global warming potential, making it a smart, environmentally responsible solution for supermarkets, cold storage, and food processing facilities.
🔹 Key Benefits
- Ultra-Low GWP Alternative
With a GWP of approximately 1,273, R-448A reduces climate impact by nearly 65% compared to R-404A (GWP ~3,922). - High Efficiency, Low Emissions
Maintains similar cooling capacity and energy efficiency to R-404A while improving environmental performance. - Non-Ozone Depleting
R-448A has zero ozone depletion potential (ODP = 0), making it safe for the environment. - Future-Ready Choice
Compliant with evolving environmental regulations, including F-Gas and AIM Act restrictions on high-GWP refrigerants.
🔹 Specifications

Important R448A Product Information
R448A is an A1 zeotropic blend for compatible commercial refrigeration and approved R404A or R507 retrofit applications.
Confirm R448A System Approval Use only in compatible new equipment or an engineered retrofit
R448A is commonly applied in medium- and low-temperature commercial refrigeration, but it is not a simple top-off replacement.
- Do not add R448A on top of R404A, R507, or another refrigerant.
- Confirm compressor, valve, control, seal, and lubricant compatibility.
- Follow the equipment or retrofit manufacturer's instructions.
Professional Retrofit Procedure Recover, evacuate, leak-test, and recommission the system
Retrofit and service work should be completed by appropriately EPA Section 608-certified personnel.
- Recover the existing refrigerant completely.
- Replace components or adjust controls where the retrofit guide requires it.
- Record the new refrigerant and charge on the equipment label.
25 lb R448A Cylinder Factory-filled zeotropic refrigerant blend
The cylinder contains 25 lb (11.3 kg) net weight of R448A. Inspect the label, valve, seal, and package before use.
- Keep the cylinder upright and secured.
- Do not use a damaged or leaking cylinder.
- Confirm the required quantity and connection before ordering.
Charge as Liquid Preserve blend composition and account for temperature glide
R448A should be transferred from the cylinder in the liquid phase and charged by weight.
- Meter liquid safely to prevent compressor damage.
- Use appropriate dew-point and bubble-point data during setup.
- Verify superheat, subcooling, and control settings after charging.
Operating and Storage Checks Verify discharge temperature, labeling, and cylinder protection
Commission the system according to the equipment or retrofit guide and follow the Safety Data Sheet.
- Check discharge temperature and operating limits.
- Store the cylinder in a cool, dry, ventilated area.
- Review the Shipping & Returns tab before ordering.

FAQ
Is R448A compatible with my system?
Use R448A only when specified by the equipment manufacturer or an approved retrofit plan. It is not a universal drop-in replacement and must not be mixed with 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 R448A commonly used for?
R448A refrigerant blend is intended for compatible commercial refrigeration, food-retail, and cold-storage 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 R448A cylinder?
The cylinder contains 25 lb (11.3 kg) net weight of R448A 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 R448A 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 R448A?
A qualified refrigeration professional should confirm system compatibility, lubricant, controls, and service procedures before installation or charging. 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 R448A?
Shipping is $30 per cylinder and updates with quantity. Orders ship from the United States within 24 business hours, and estimated delivery is 3–5 business days. Tracking is provided after dispatch. Carrier and hazardous-material restrictions may apply.
What should I do if the R448A cylinder arrives damaged or appears to leak?
Do not use the cylinder if it is leaking, the valve is damaged, or the package appears unsafe. Keep it away from heat, flames, and occupied indoor areas, and do not attempt a repair. Contact support with the order number and clear photos of the cylinder, valve, damage, packaging, shipping label, and batch code so the issue can be reviewed.
Can I return an unopened R448A cylinder?
A return must be requested within 30 days. Only unused, unopened cylinders in their original condition and packaging are eligible. Contact support for approval before returning regulated goods. Specialized carrier requirements may apply, return shipping costs are the customer’s responsibility, and refunds are issued after inspection.
Do you offer bulk pricing for R448A?
Bulk pricing may be available depending on quantity, destination, inventory, freight requirements, and applicable shipping restrictions. Send the required quantity, cylinder size, delivery ZIP code or country, company details, and requested delivery date for a confirmed quotation.
