Awesome huh. now we are getting emails from our safety. Now our resi guys have to question homeowners. I'm sure light commercial will be running rampant with this stuff. Light commercial seems to produce the most hackery around here. I bet they were loading skids into beatup pickups.

I find it interesting that there MSDS does not give it's chemical makeup

[Freightshaker]

Johnstone warning flyer said it's 95% propane butane.

[Freightshaker]

At a buck and a quarter a drum local hacks will be on that like a rat on a cheeto.

[VTP99]

95% propane butane.

I have used r22a in three unit in summer 2012. Just to test it. It is propane,but it works. Can not be mixed. Use 1oz 22a for 2 1/2 of r22. Homeowner said his elec. bill was down by 30%. pressure about the same on low side and lower on the high side.

Time to break out the halide leak detector.

Was at the Farm store this afternoon( Rural King Supply) Large display set up with a video running promoting it. Do it yourself. Law suits waiting to happen. As far as I know Opening an A/C system requires certification. Thats screwing on a fitting opening the schrader. Going to be interesting ou there. Be SAFE.

Job security. For us and the EMTs.

I don't know why we don't just use gasoline. Its a darn good refrigerant.

I can't say I'm against it really. I just dont think any Joe schmoe should use it. Most people are stupid. I would just rather have equipment rated for it and know where it is. Might just be a lot better than 410A.

Nice video isn't it. I scratched my head and watched it again. I never knew this stuff was so easy.

We have furnaces rated for propane.Should I tell you how many homes have blown up?

[JLMULLIG]

"Non-Toxic, Non-Carcinogen - No Long Term health Risks"..... Does this include health risks due to explosions. Notice they can't say non flammable.

Only on CFC and HCFC refrigerants. HFC, and FC refrigerants don't require EPA certification. Thats why anyone can buy R134A or R410A.

[jdwendling]

It's a R22 replacement. HCFC
