R-410A QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE

R-410A refrigerant operates at 50% - 70% higher pressures than R-22.  Be sure that servicing equipment and
replacement components are designed to operate with R-410A.

R-410A refrigerant cylinders are rose colored.

Recovery cylinder service pressure rating must be 400 psig, DOT 4BA400 or DOT BW400.

R-410A systems should be charged with liquid refrigerant. Use a commercial type metering device in the
manifold hose.

Manifold sets should be 750 psig high-side and 200 psig low-side with 520 psig low-side retard.

Use hoses with 750 psig service pressure rating.

Leak detectors should be designed to detect HFC refrigerant.

R-410A, as with other HFC refrigerants, is only compatible with POE oils.

Vacuum pumps will not remove moisture from oil.

Do not use liquid line filter-driers with rated working pressures less than 600 psig.

Do not install a suction line filter-drier in liquid line.

POE oils absorb moisture rapidly.  Do not expose oil to atmosphere.

POE oils may cause damage to certain plastics and roofing materials.

Wrap all filter-driers and service valves with wet cloth when brazing.

A liquid line filter-drier is required on every unit.

Do not use with an R-22 TXV.

If indoor unit is equipped with an R-22 TXV, it must be changed to an R-410A TXV.

Never open system to atmosphere while it is under a vacuum.

When system must be opened for service, break vacuum with dry nitrogen and replace all filter-driers.

Do not vent R-410A into the atmosphere.

Do not use capillary tube indoor coils.

Observe all
