R404A is a zeotropic blend. Remove liquid from the cylinder to maintain the intended composition.
Do not top off a contaminated or unidentified circuit. Recover, diagnose and recharge correctly.
Use clean, dry service tools and follow the equipment superheat, subcooling and charge-weight procedure.
R404A is not interchangeable with R22, R407A, R452A, R507 or other refrigerants without an equipment-specific retrofit plan. Verify compressor, lubricant, seals, controls and expansion-device suitability before any conversion.
Bulk refrigerant sales in the United States are restricted. Proof of the applicable Section 608 or Section 609 technician certification—or documentation that the purchaser employs a properly certified technician—may be required before fulfillment. The purchaser is responsible for satisfying federal, state and local rules for purchase, transport, storage and use.
Store secured and upright in a cool, well-ventilated location. Protect from physical damage, high heat and direct sunlight. Consult the safety data sheet before handling. Refrigerant can displace oxygen, cause cold burns and create dangerous pressure if mishandled. Never intentionally vent refrigerant.
