R437a, also known as MO49, is a refrigerant for retrofitting R12 systems. It is used in automotive air conditioning and in commercial and stationary refrigeration. This Check & Charge-It Kit includes one 16 oz. can of R437a.
R437a is a zeotropic HFC blend of R125, R134a, butane and isopentane. It has up to 11% higher capacity than R12 and a lower discharge temperature. It is compatible with traditional and new lubricants, and in most cases the lubricant doesn't need to be changed during a retrofit.
Use the R12 scale when reading R437a. Charge it from the liquid phase to keep the composition accurate. The top hose connections are 1/4" male flare with an internal valve core, so they self-seal when the hose is removed.
