Honeywell Solstice N40 R-448A Refrigerant Gas – 25 lb Cylinder

100% virgin, EPA-certified R-448A refrigerant in a 25 lb cylinder. AHRI-700 purity guaranteed for commercial refrigeration and low-temperature systems. EPA Section 608 certification required for purchase.

What is R-448A?

R-448A is classified as an HFC/HFO blend and formulated primarily for commercial refrigeration. It has an ASHRAE safety class of A1 and Yardanvil supplies it as 100% virgin, manufacturer-direct gas that meets AHRI-700, backed by a Certificate of Analysis on every cylinder.

R-448A Specifications

GWP values are standard published figures and may vary by assessment report (AR4/AR5); ODP per ASHRAE. Always follow the manufacturer data plate and current EPA rules.

R-448A from Honeywell is manufactured to AHRI-700 purity, and Yardanvil includes the Certificate of Analysis documenting each 25 lb cylinder’s composition from the Honeywell production batch. Commercial refrigeration systems that operate on R-404A face increasing pressure from the AIM Act phasedown. R-448A was formulated as a direct retrofit – it uses the same POE lubricant, requires no compressor changes, and achieves comparable capacity across both medium- and low-temperature ranges while cutting GWP by approximately 65% compared to R-404A. Yardanvil verifies every cylinder against the manufacturer’s production certificate, providing commercial refrigeration contractors with the documentation they need for their compliance records.

Common Applications

• Supermarket refrigeration cases
• Cold storage and walk-in freezers
• Low-temperature transport refrigeration
• Commercial food service equipment

Commercial refrigeration systems that operate on R-404A face increasing pressure from the AIM Act phasedown. R-448A was formulated as a direct retrofit – it uses the same POE lubricant, requires no compressor changes, and achieves comparable capacity across both medium- and low-temperature ranges. In supermarket environments, where refrigeration loads vary across open display cases, walk-in freezers, and back-of-house prep areas, R-448A maintains stable suction pressure and discharge temperature without the need for system re-engineering. Operators can transition rack-by-rack rather than replacing entire circuits, minimizing downtime during the retrofit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does R-448A compare to R-404A?

R-448A has a GWP of approximately 1387, roughly 65% lower than R-404A (3922), while maintaining similar capacity and discharge temperatures across commercial refrigeration operating ranges.

Is R-448A a drop-in replacement for R-404A?

Yes – R-448A is designed as a direct retrofit for R-404A in supermarket and cold-storage applications, requiring only a POE lubricant (already used with R-404A).

Do I need EPA certification for R-448A?

Yes – a valid EPA Section 608 certification is federally mandated for purchasing R-448A and all regulated refrigerants.
