Low-pressure refrigerant — boils near 82°F at atmospheric pressure, so most of the operating range sits in vacuum.
″ vac = inches of mercury vacuum (below atmospheric pressure).
Reference values only — verify against the manufacturer's PT card and your gauge set.
03Supply
Buy R-123
Virgin and reclaimed available today. Virgin production for servicing ends January 1, 2030. Reclaimed refrigerant and existing inventory remain servicing supply options.
Every reclaimed batch we ship is tested in our laboratory against AHRI Standard 700. Confirm equipment compatibility and application requirements when ordering. No prices are published: refrigerant markets move weekly, so every order is quoted on current supply.
// Every {designation} order
- Reclaimed batches verified to AHRI-700 before shipment
- Quoted by cylinder size and current market — no published price lists
- Will-call in Santa Fe Springs or delivery across Southern California
04Buyback
Sell us your R-123
Demand rising ahead of the 2030 virgin-production cutoff. Chiller retrofit volumes welcome — 100 lb+ charges are common.
We supply DOT recovery cylinders and shipping documents, or pick up across Southern California. On receipt, every load gets a certified scale weight and AHRI-700 laboratory analysis, and a Recovery Manifest documents chain of custody for your EPA records.
