R-600a Refrigerant 1 lb — Natural Hydrocarbon (Isobutane)
R-600a is a high-performance hydrocarbon refrigerant derived from natural ingredients. It does not harm the ozone layer (zero ODP) and has a negligible global warming potential, making it an environmentally friendly choice for compatible systems. This 1 lb cylinder comes with a standard 1/4″ HVAC valve.
A3 — highly flammable. R-600a (isobutane) is a flammable hydrocarbon refrigerant. Use only in properly designed systems with hydrocarbon-rated service equipment, by trained technicians, away from ignition sources.
