R-404A REFRIGERANT

24 LB (10.9 KG) CYLINDER

Refrigerant for Compatible Commercial & Transport Refrigeration Systems

Professional R-404A Refrigerant

R-404A is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant blend historically used in low- and medium-temperature commercial refrigeration applications.

Composed of R-125, R-143a and R-134a, R-404A was widely adopted in supermarket refrigeration, food storage, refrigerated transport and other commercial cooling systems.

GQSBIKE presents this 24 LB R-404A cylinder for professional servicing of compatible existing refrigeration equipment, subject to applicable use restrictions.

Always verify the actual cylinder label, net contents, product documentation and equipment compatibility before use.

R-404A Refrigerant Technology

R-404A is a near-azeotropic HFC blend developed for refrigeration equipment requiring low- and medium-temperature operating characteristics.

R-404A has zero ozone depletion potential and an ASHRAE A1 safety classification. However, its high global warming potential has resulted in significant environmental restrictions and movement toward lower-GWP refrigerant alternatives.

While R-404A remains present in many existing refrigeration installations, equipment owners should assess regulatory compliance and long-term service requirements.

R-404A is not interchangeable with other refrigerants without an appropriate engineering and compatibility evaluation.

System Compatibility & Servicing

R-404A should only be used in systems approved for this refrigerant and where its use is legally permitted.

Professional technicians must verify system design, compressor compatibility, expansion devices, approved lubricants and manufacturer service requirements.

As a refrigerant blend, R-404A should be charged using the liquid phase according to the manufacturer's approved instructions.

R-404A must not be mixed with other refrigerants. Existing refrigerant must be properly recovered before any authorized system conversion.

Safety & Handling Information

R-404A is classified as ASHRAE A1, meaning lower toxicity and no flame propagation under standard classification conditions. It remains a liquefied refrigerant gas under pressure and must be handled appropriately.

  • Use only in compatible approved refrigeration systems.
  • Do not mix R-404A with other refrigerants.
  • Use properly rated refrigerant recovery equipment.
  • Follow manufacturer-approved charging procedures.
  • Keep cylinders secured and away from excessive heat.
  • Ensure suitable ventilation in service areas.
  • Avoid skin and eye contact with escaping liquid.
  • Consult the current Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
  • Use qualified refrigeration technicians for servicing.
  • Never intentionally vent refrigerant.

Important Purchase & Environmental Information

R-404A is a high-GWP HFC refrigerant subject to environmental restrictions. Its use in certain new refrigeration equipment has been restricted in the United States and other markets.

U.S. EPA Section 608 refrigerant sales certification and handling requirements may apply. Additional restrictions under the American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act may affect particular applications.

Buyers must verify their eligibility, product legality for the intended application, equipment compatibility, cylinder contents and current environmental requirements.
