R410A is used in domestic and light air conditioning equipment. R410A’s low glide also makes it suitable for some centrifugal compressors, and it can operate in low temperature applications.

As a HFC blend designed for new R22 applications, it operates at higher pressures than many other refrigerants, and so cannot be used to retrofit R22 systems. Systems designed for R410A can take advantage of its ability to use smaller components.

For optimal performance and compatibility, BOC recommends the use of valve fittings that have plastic sealing washers (e.g. Nylon, PTFE or PCTFE) for refrigerant products. Hard or inflexible materials such as fibre washers may cause minor connection leaks. The sealing washer should be visually inspected for damage or wear before each use. Fittings should be installed slightly tighter than hand-tight.
