R-32 A2L Refrigerant 20.9 lb Jug — Single-Component, Low-GWP R-410A Replacement
R-32 is a single-component, pure refrigerant. It isn't a blend, so it can be added or recharged as liquid or vapor without fractionation. This 20.9 lb jug is the full-charge supply for installing and servicing new R-32 air conditioners, heat pumps, and mini splits. R-32 is a low-GWP A2L replacement for R-410A, and R-32 systems can be up to 12% more efficient than comparable R-410A systems. The A2L cylinder uses a left-hand-thread valve, so you can add a left-to-right thread adapter at checkout. Purchase requires EPA Section 608 certification. For a small top-off, the R-32 28.2 oz can with gauge and hose is easier to carry.
Is the 20.9 lb R-32 Jug the Right Size?
This jug suits contractors installing new R-32 equipment, such as Goodman R-32 central systems and R-32 ductless mini splits, and servicing several systems without running short.
Because R-32 is a single-component refrigerant, the remaining charge in the jug keeps the same composition, so partial charges and topping off don't cause fractionation. R-32 is classified A2L (mildly flammable). Use A2L-rated tools and only charge equipment designed for R-32.
Ideal for: HVAC contractors installing and servicing new R-32 central air conditioners, heat pumps, packaged units, and ductless mini splits.
Only need a top-off? The R-32 28.2 oz can handles small charge adjustments.
Refrigerant purchases require the Refrigerant Agreement and proof of EPA Section 608 certification. Efficiency comparisons vary by equipment design. R-32 is an A2L refrigerant for use by qualified HVAC/R technicians following A2L handling practices. Request free sizing assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can R-32 be charged as vapor when blends can't?
R-32 is a single-component refrigerant, so its composition stays the same whether it leaves the cylinder as liquid or vapor. Blends like R-410A and R-454B must be withdrawn as liquid.
What adapter do I need for an A2L jug?
A2L cylinders use a left-hand-thread valve. The 1/4″ SAE left-to-right thread A2L adapter lets you connect standard right-hand-thread hoses, and you can add it at checkout.
Is R-32 the same as R-454B?
No. R-32 is a single-component refrigerant, while R-454B is a blend of R-32 and R-1234yf. They aren't interchangeable; use the refrigerant listed on the equipment.
How much more efficient is R-32 than R-410A?
R-32 systems can be up to 12% more efficient than comparable R-410A systems. Actual results depend on equipment design.
What manifold should I use with R-32?
Use A2L-rated gauges, such as the NAVAC A2L-compatible analog manifold, which reads R-32, R-454B, R-410A, and R-22.
Where can I find R-32 mini splits and systems?
Budget Heating carries R-32 equipment from brands such as Goodman and Gree. Browse ductless mini split systems, including R-32 models.
