Usage & applications

• Vapour/liquid recovery into approved cylinders before repair, retrofit, or decommissioning.
• Push-pull recovery for fast movement of large liquid charges (use correct hose layout and a suitably warmed cylinder).
• A2L workflows: use equipment explicitly rated for the refrigerant in use; follow AU/NZ codes and on-site safety.

Ideal for

HVAC technicians and contractors working on residential, commercial, and light-industrial systems who need reliable, standards-aligned reclaim with minimal downtime.

FAQ — Recovery Units

Q: Do I need an A2L-rated recovery unit for R32?
A: Yes. Use a machine explicitly rated for A2L (and A3 if you work with hydrocarbons). Always check the product page and follow AU/NZ codes.

Q: Push-pull vs direct recovery — when to use which?
A: Use push-pull for large liquid charges to speed things up. Use direct recovery for smaller charges and when push-pull plumbing isn’t practical.

Q: Which cylinder should I use?
A: Only use approved recovery cylinders in good condition. Check tare, max fill/pressure, hydro date, and refrigerant compatibility every time.

Q: Maintenance that actually matters?
A: Keep filters clean, inspect hoses and seals, and follow the manufacturer’s oil or service intervals (if applicable). It’s cheap insurance against slowdowns.
