    You are still seeing R12 where ?

    It may be in old kit and as long is it is inside there is nothing to say don't use it.

    Wink Re: R12 to 134a, why?

    Well... Some of my customers bought these $8,000 refrigerators a.k.a SUBZERO's and had there cabinets made around them and cabinet panels to fit the front. Try telling that person they need to get another unit because R134a is better for the enviroment than R12 when the unit only has 16oz of *****.
    Smart remarks come from smart people.

    As brian_uk said, it's harmful if it's released into the atmosphere. If it's inside a working unit, then it's not harming the ozone is it?
    People aren't throwing away fridges, freezers and cars because they have R12 in them. People are just not getting any more R12 when those systems break down.
    So no R12 is being charged into any system.
