SAFETY AND HANDLING OVERVIEW ASHRAE Standard 15 details safety precautions when handling refrigerants in commercial systems and should be read and understood. Refrigerants are especially dan- gerous in confi ned spaces. • R410a has a much higher pressure (+60%) associated with its operation. Use caution when handling and ensure proper tools and equipment. • Use an R410a approved recovery device. Recov- ery cylinders must have a service pressure rating of 400 psig (DOT 4BA 400 and DOT 4BW
