What could be used instead of R404a
Hi all.
I need to re-gas an ice machine that is setup for R404a. Could I use R134a or the new R22 (UK use)

R507. No R134a and for sure no R22 at all.

Re: What could be used instead of R404a
Thanks for the replys, I normally do work on small trawlers etc and so far always needed R22 or R134a.
I was just trying to see if i could avoid the cost a full cylinder for what may be a one off use.
I know it is becomming more common but my clients tend to work with old equipment ??
Thanks again John

Well sooner or later you'll need it, I say just get a cylinder and tuck it safely away when don, and now you'll have some at hand next time round.

Like NoNick suggests, R507....wins hands down over R404A
Try googling it!
