R-22 Refrigerant with UV Dye & Stop Leak — 28 oz (1.8 lb) Disposable One-Step Can
This is the R-22 refill for technicians who already own the tools: a 28 oz (1.8 lb) disposable one-step can of R-22 with stop leak and UV dye blended in, and no gauge or hose in the box. It works with standard R-22 gauges, so you can top off an older air conditioner or heat pump with the equipment already on the truck. The stop leak handles minor leaks, and the dye marks any leak that needs a mechanical repair. Need a gauge? The R-22 stop leak can with gauge and hose includes one.
Is the Can-Only R-22 Stop Leak Right for You?
If your truck already has R-22 gauges, this is the economical way to carry a small amount of R-22 with stop leak and dye. You pay only for the refrigerant blend, and it doubles as the refill can for the R-22 gauge kit.
Older R-22 equipment often loses a little charge every season. A 1.8 lb can makes that routine top-off easy, with no large cylinder to haul onto a roof, and the dye builds up a trail at the leak point in case the system eventually needs a repair or replacement.
Ideal for: Technicians with their own R-22 gauges who service older air conditioners and heat pumps that slowly lose charge.
Need more capacity? Step up to the Freon R-22 30 lb Jug, Factory Sealed for bigger R-22 charges.
Stop leak results depend on leak size and location; larger leaks require mechanical repair. Charging amounts vary with system size, line-set length, and ambient conditions. For use by qualified HVAC/R technicians. Request free sizing assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this can work with my existing R-22 gauges?
Yes. It works with standard R-22 gauges. If you need one, the R-22 / R-410A / R-404A gauge with 1/4″ SAE fitting and hose is sold separately.
Is this the refill for the R-22 gauge kit?
Yes. It's the same can included in the R-22 stop leak kit with gauge and hose, so you can reuse your gauge with a fresh can.
Why choose a small can over a 30 lb jug?
For a minor top-off on one system, the 1.8 lb can avoids buying and storing a large cylinder. For frequent or larger R-22 charges, the 30 lb jug costs less per pound.
Should I keep recharging an old R-22 system?
A top-off can keep an older system running, but repeated leaks and limited R-22 supply mean replacement is often worth considering. Budget Heating's quote team can help size a new system.
Does the compressor need oil when adding refrigerant?
A small top-off usually doesn't call for oil, but compressor work or major leaks may. Budget Heating carries compressor oil for R-22 compressors. Follow the compressor manufacturer's guidelines.
How can I confirm a leak before topping off?
A bubble solution such as the 32 oz leak detector spray works well on accessible fittings and valves before you add refrigerant.
