Post by: mattmctree on September 03, 2020, 12:28:35 PM
i came across a piece of equipment that is still running on r 12. am i able to service and repair this equipment with r 12 if i am able to find old stock?
does anyone know the going rate for a 30 lb cylinder or virgin r 12?

If you can find it, you can use it. You just can't use something that has been in another system without it being brought back to virgin state.

ok thanks. what a fair price to expect to pay for a cylinder of r 12?

I couldn't even guess, but I'd assume it wouldn't be fair since mostly only large expensive pieces of equipment would use it.
