Product Tips
  • If a system already contains R-414B, it can be topped off twice if a leak has occurred. If there are additional leaks, remove the entire charge and refill with virgin R-414B.
  • Remove liquid from the cylinder to assure proper performance.
  • Charge to proper superheat and subcool conditions.
