RS-44B (R-453A) Virgin Refrigerant (25 lb)
RS-44B (R-453A) Refrigerant
RS-44B (R-453A) is an AHRI-700 compliant, non-flammable (A1) refrigerant blend developed as a high-performance alternative to R-22 for compatible air-conditioning and refrigeration systems. Supplied in a factory-sealed 25 lb cylinder, R-453A provides reliable system performance while offering a lower-GWP option for qualifying R-22 retrofit applications.
Designed for compatibility with mineral oil, alkylbenzene, and POE lubricants, R-453A can help simplify R-22 system conversions by avoiding a routine oil change in many applications. Its performance characteristics make it suitable for a broad range of residential, commercial, and refrigeration systems.
