It has a low \u003cstrong\u003etemperature glide\u003c\/strong\u003e, but it is still a blend, so it should come out of the can as a \u003cstrong\u003eliquid\u003c\/strong\u003e to keep the three components in proportion. It carries an \u003cstrong\u003eASHRAE A1\u003c\/strong\u003e safety classification (low toxicity, no flame propagation), \u003cstrong\u003ezero ODP\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003eGWP of 3922\u003c\/strong\u003e under \u003cstrong\u003eIPCC AR4\u003c\/strong\u003e, and it is paired with \u003cstrong\u003ePOE (polyolester) oil\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The high \u003cstrong\u003eGWP\u003c\/strong\u003e is why the \u003cstrong\u003eEPA Technology Transitions\u003c\/strong\u003e rule limits which new retail food refrigeration systems can be installed with it. That same rule does not restrict servicing existing equipment, which may be repaired throughout its useful life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore opening the can, read the \u003cstrong\u003eequipment nameplate\u003c\/strong\u003e and confirm the system is charged with \u003cstrong\u003eR-404A\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Meter the charge in as a liquid on the \u003cstrong\u003elow side\u003c\/strong\u003e so it flashes to vapor before it reaches the compressor, follow the orientation marked on the can, and confirm the can’s valve outlet matches your hose fitting before you start.
