Important R134A 5 lb Product Information
5 lb R134A refrigerant for equipment specifically designed or approved for R134A. Confirm the application and use the correct service equipment.
For R134A Systems Check the equipment or vehicle refrigerant label
Use R134A only where the equipment manufacturer specifies or formally approves it.
- Do not add R134A to an R1234yf, R410A, R404A or R22 system.
- For automotive A/C, check the under-hood refrigerant label and vehicle service information.
- For stationary refrigeration, verify the model, refrigerant designation and service requirements.
Purchaser and Service Requirements A 5 lb cylinder is not a small-can purchase exemption
This 5 lb cylinder is outside the EPA exemption for qualifying MVAC refrigerant containers holding 2 lb or less.
- Confirm purchaser eligibility and any required certification documentation before ordering.
- Stationary-system work and paid automotive A/C service have different EPA certification requirements.
- Use trained personnel and recover refrigerant rather than releasing it.
5 lb R134A Cylinder Net refrigerant weight, not total shipping weight
This product is the 5 lb (approximately 2.27 kg) R134A size. Net refrigerant weight excludes the cylinder and packaging.
- Check the product label, valve, seal and cylinder condition before use.
- Do not use a damaged, leaking or altered cylinder.
- Verify the valve connection and required equipment before starting service.
Application-Specific R134A Equipment Automotive and stationary systems have different requirements
Use recovery, charging and connection equipment suitable for R134A and the specific application.
- Follow the equipment manufacturer's lubricant and fitting specifications.
- Keep refrigerants and service equipment free from cross-contamination.
- Follow the specified charge quantity and service procedure; do not assume the full cylinder is needed.
Storage and Before Ordering Protect the cylinder and review the product details
Store upright and secured in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Follow the cylinder label and product Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
- Protect the cylinder from excessive heat, direct sunlight and physical damage.
- Confirm R134A, 5 lb net weight and the intended equipment before ordering.
- Review the store shipping and return policies, and use the SDS for handling precautions.

FAQ
Is R134A compatible with my system?
Use R134A only in equipment specifically designed or formally approved for R134A. Do not add it to an R1234yf, R12, or other refrigerant system. 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 R134A commonly used for?
HFC-134a (R134A) is intended for compatible motor-vehicle A/C, refrigeration, and stationary 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 R134A cylinder?
The cylinder contains 5 lb (2.3 kg) net weight of R134A 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 R134A 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 R134A?
