R-410A Refrigerant 25 lb Jug — New, Factory Sealed
This 25 lb jug is the working cylinder for R-410A installation and service: new, factory-sealed R-410A for charging and maintaining residential and light commercial air conditioners and heat pumps built for R-410A. Brands vary by supplier, but the chemistry does not. Every brand, including names like Puron® and Suva® R-410A, carries the same ASHRAE designation, R-410A. Purchase requires EPA Section 608 certification, which you submit at checkout. For a quick top-off instead of a full charge, the R-410A 28.2 oz can is easier to carry.
Is the 25 lb R-410A Jug the Right Size?
A 25 lb cylinder suits contractors charging new installations, recharging after a compressor or coil replacement, or servicing several R-410A systems in a day. Buying by the jug costs less per pound than small cans and keeps enough refrigerant on the truck for a full system charge.
R-410A is a blend of two refrigerants, so withdraw it from the cylinder as a liquid for best performance. It runs at much higher pressure than R-22 (discharge pressure about 50–70% higher), so use high-pressure-rated manifold gauges, recovery equipment, and recovery cylinders. It uses POE lubricant.
Ideal for: HVAC contractors installing and servicing R-410A central air conditioners, heat pumps, and other equipment designed for R-410A.
Only need a top-off? Grab the R-410A 28.2 oz can with gauge and hose for small charge adjustments.
Refrigerant purchases require the Refrigerant Agreement and proof of EPA Section 608 certification, or a signed resale statement. Charging amounts depend on equipment, line-set length, and operating conditions. For use by qualified HVAC/R technicians. Request free sizing assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can R-410A be used to retrofit an R-22 system?
No. R-410A runs at much higher pressures and capacity than R-22 and can only be used in equipment designed for R-410A. For R-22 equipment, see the R-22 30 lb jug or a listed R-22 replacement.
Should R-410A be charged as liquid or vapor?
R-410A is a blend of two refrigerants, so remove it from the cylinder as a liquid for optimum performance, and follow the equipment manufacturer's charging procedure.
Why does the brand on my jug differ from the last order?
Brands vary by supplier, but the chemistry doesn't. Brand names such as Puron® and Suva® R-410A all carry the same ASHRAE designation.
What do I need to provide to buy this refrigerant?
Complete the Refrigerant Agreement at checkout and upload, or email to admin@budgetheating.com, proof of EPA Section 608 certification. Resellers can provide a signed statement that the refrigerant will only be sold to certified technicians.
How should I leak test an R-410A system?
Never mix R-410A with air for leak testing. Use a mixture of R-410A and nitrogen. A nitrogen braze, purge, and test tool helps control nitrogen flow and pressure.
What recovery equipment works with R-410A?
Use high-pressure-rated recovery equipment, such as a 30 lb refrigerant recovery cylinder rated for HFC refrigerants, with a compatible recovery machine.
