R404A 24LB Refrigerant – Built for Harsh Low-Temperature Cooling

R404A 24lb Refrigerant – Built for Harsh Low-Temperature Cooling

A commercial freezer running warm is one of the fastest ways to lose an entire day’s inventory, and
techs across Houston know it. Refrigerants Center stocks virgin R-404A locally so a low-temp emergency
call does not turn into a multi-day wait on a regional supplier.

This 24 lb cylinder holds virgin, factory-sealed R-404A, the long-standing HFC blend built for
demanding low-temperature commercial refrigeration.

Why R-404A Still Matters Despite the Phase-Down

R-404A blends R-125, R-143a, and R-134a to handle some of the lowest evaporator temperatures found
in commercial refrigeration, which is why it became the standard for freezers and low-temp display
cases for years. Its high global warming potential has pushed the industry toward R-448A, R-449A, and
R-452A as long-term replacements, but a large installed base of R-404A equipment still runs across
Houston today, and that equipment needs its original refrigerant to stay serviceable.

Where Techs Use It Most

Standalone freezers, low-temperature supermarket cases, and cold storage warehouses throughout the
Houston metro are the primary users of this cylinder. Restaurant walk-in freezers and convenience
store freezer cases round out the rest of the demand.

Refrigerants Center keeps this cylinder in stock at our Houston warehouse, with same-day and next-day local delivery routed through Sugar Land and Missouri City. Techs working across Pasadena and Baytown, Katy and Cypress, and Pearland and Friendswood order from us just as often, since one Houston-based supplier covers the whole metro without the wait times of national distributors. Restaurant and cold storage accounts across the area keep standing orders with us since a freezer failure cannot wait on freight from out of state.

Compliance and Handling

All cylinders ship DOT-compliant and are sold in accordance with EPA Section 608/609 rules. Refrigerants Center verifies technician certification on regulated refrigerant orders before dispatch from our Houston warehouse. Because supply is tightening under federal HFC phase-down rules, we recommend
planning larger low-temp jobs ahead of time rather than waiting for a same-day emergency order.

Planning a Lower-GWP Transition?

For customers ready to move off R-404A, our
R-448A 25lb refrigerant is a widely used low-GWP
replacement for the same low-temperature equipment class.
