Product Overview
R22 refrigerant, also known as HCFC-22, is used to service existing air conditioning, heat pump, and refrigeration systems designed for R22. This convenient 5 lb cylinder provides a practical option for professional HVAC technicians who need more refrigerant than a small service cylinder without purchasing a full-size 30 lb cylinder.
Key Benefits
- Convenient 5 lb R22 refrigerant cylinder
- Ideal for HVAC service, maintenance, and repair jobs

Important R22 5 lb Product Information
5 lb R22 refrigerant for servicing existing equipment that specifies R22. Confirm the system nameplate and applicable service requirements before ordering.
For Existing R22 Systems Verify R22 on the system nameplate
R22 may be used to service existing R22 equipment under applicable requirements. It is not a universal replacement refrigerant.
- Do not add R22 to an R410A, R32, R454B, R134A or R404A system.
- If a system has been converted, verify its current refrigerant and service records.
- Do not mix R22 with retrofit blends or unidentified refrigerant.
Purchaser and Service Requirements Confirm eligibility for stationary refrigerant use
Confirm purchaser eligibility under EPA refrigerant-sales rules before ordering this 5 lb cylinder.
- Stationary refrigerant purchases and service are subject to applicable Section 608 requirements.
- A Section 609 automotive certification alone does not cover stationary refrigerant use.
- Use trained personnel and recover refrigerant rather than releasing it.
5 lb R22 Cylinder Net refrigerant weight, not total shipping weight
This product is the 5 lb (approximately 2.27 kg) R22 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.
Existing-System Service Checks Confirm the system history before adding refrigerant
Have a qualified technician confirm the refrigerant identity and equipment condition before service.
- Investigate refrigerant loss and address leaks as required before recharging.
- Follow the manufacturer's lubricant, charge quantity and service procedures.
- Use compatible recovery equipment and keep recovered refrigerants separated.
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 R22, 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 R22 compatible with my system?
Use R22 only in equipment whose nameplate or manufacturer documentation specifically identifies R22 or HCFC-22. It is not intended for new non-R22 systems. 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 R22 commonly used for?
HCFC-22 (R22) is intended for compatible existing R22 air-conditioning and refrigeration 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 R22 cylinder?
The cylinder contains 5 lb (2.3 kg) net weight of R22 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 R22 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 R22?
R22 handling, recovery, charging, and repair should be performed by a qualified HVAC professional using approved equipment. Do not vent refrigerant. 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 R22?
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 R22 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 R22 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 R22?
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.
