Fluid Type Specifications

PREPARATION


Sealant or/and Oil

- Never mix HFC-134a refrigerant and oil with CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and oil.
- Separate and non-interchangeable service equipment must be used for handling each type of refrigerant and oil.
- Refrigerant container fittings, service hose fittings and service equipment fittings (equipment which handles refrigerant and oil) are different between CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a). This is to avoid mixed use of the refrigerant and oil.
- Never use adapters that convert one size fitting to another, as refrigerant and oil contamination will occur and compressor failure will result.
