R12 Recovery machine

torque395 on Mon June 29, 2009 10:28 PM User is offline

I found a "good used" R12 refrigerant recovery system for sale cheap. Can it be used for R134a? Seller states its for R12 but doesnt say if it will work for other types or not.

Machines designed and certified for R12 can not be used for R134a service. There are several reasons for this but the biggest is that that machine is not listed by the EPA as approved for R134a use. Many years ago, we had personal experience with this and the EPA came down hard on us as the machine manufacturer. Having said all that, there are some who have "home brewed" modifications to convert the machines.
