R-22 Refrigerant — 30 lb Cylinder, 100% Virgin Factory Sealed
R-22 (chlorodifluoromethane) was the workhorse of residential and commercial air conditioning for decades. U.S. production and import of new R-22 ended January 1, 2020 — only virgin stockpiles and reclaimed refrigerant remain, which is why prices keep climbing. If you still service R-22 equipment, buying genuine virgin R-22 now beats paying tomorrow's prices.
What's in the jug: 30 lbs of 100% virgin R-22, factory sealed for guaranteed purity. Compatible with mineral oil, alkylbenzene, and POE lubricants.
Common applications:
- Residential and commercial air conditioning (existing R-22 systems)
- Low and medium temperature refrigeration
- Large centrifugal chillers and industrial process cooling
Good to know: R-22 cannot be manufactured anymore — every jug sold comes from remaining virgin or reclaimed supply. Considering a retrofit? R407A and R407C are the closest long-term alternatives for refrigeration and AC respectively (we stock both).
Purchase requires EPA Section 608 certification. EPA refrigerant sales requirements.
