R-410A is a blend of R-32 and R-125 that is 60% higher pressure than R-22 for air conditioning applications and should only be used in new equipment specifically designed to handle the pressure. Systems that are designed for R-410A will have smaller components to perform the same cooling job as R-22. R-410A will require POE lubricants. Retrofitting R-22 equipment is not recommended under any circumstances.

Retrofitting R-22 equipment is not recommended under any circumstances.
R-410A has replaced R-22 as the preferred refrigerant for use in residential and light commercial air-conditioning and heat pump systems. It has a higher cooling capacity than R-22 and is significantly higher in pressure. R-410A was not designed to retrofit existing R22 systems and should be used only in systems specifically designed for R-410A. It is non toxic and non flammable meeting the highest A1 Classification.
