R-134a Refrigerant 30 lb Jug — ARI 700 Grade with Standard ACME Threaded Cap
This 30 lb jug of R-134a meets ARI 700 specifications and is intended for factory-installed and retrofitted R-134a automotive air conditioning systems. It comes with a standard ACME threaded cap, the connection used by typical R-134a charging equipment, which makes it a practical bulk supply for auto repair shops, fleet maintenance, and AC service techs who charge vehicles regularly. Purchase requires the Refrigerant Agreement and proof of EPA certification.
Is the 30 lb R-134a Jug the Right Size?
A 30 lb fill is sized for shops and fleets that recharge many vehicles. It costs less per pound than small cans and connects directly to charging equipment with an ACME fitting.
Use it on vehicles that left the factory with R-134a or that have been properly retrofitted to R-134a. R-134a is also the rated refrigerant for some commercial refrigeration compressors, such as Copeland hermetic compressors rated for R-134a and R-404A. Always charge the refrigerant listed on the equipment.
Ideal for: Automotive and fleet air conditioning service on factory-installed or retrofitted R-134a systems.
Working on older R-12 equipment? Hot Shot 2 (R-417C) replaces R-12 and R-134a in most applications without an oil change.
Refrigerant purchases require the Refrigerant Agreement and proof of EPA certification. Follow the vehicle or equipment manufacturer's charging specifications. For use by qualified technicians. Request free sizing assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.
