FAHKNS 30 lb Refrigerant Recovery Tank — Stainless Steel cylinder for R12 R22 R134A, brass fittings & color-coded valves

FAHKNS 30 LB Refrigerant Recovery Tank is a stainless-steel recovery cylinder built to safely collect and store common refrigerants like R12, R22 and R134A during HVAC service.

This recovery tank combines an HP295 stainless-steel body, powder-coated finish and brass fittings to deliver a rugged, reusable vessel for refrigerant capture. It is designed for technicians and experienced DIYers who need a durable, easy-to-handle cylinder for routine refrigerant recovery, transport, and short-term storage while following local regulations.

How does this tank make refrigerant recovery easier on site?

The FAHKNS tank features a round neck for secure gripping and color-coded red and blue knobs for quick vapor and liquid adjustment. Brass vent valves and a 1/4" SAE Y-valve allow controlled connections to gauges and recovery hoses, helping speed up service cycles without compromising control.

• Round neck improves handling and reduces slippage when moving the cylinder.
• Red/blue knobs let you select vapor or liquid recovery quickly.
• Brass vent valves and Y-valve provide reliable connections and long wear life.

What materials and build features improve durability and safety?

The body is HP295 stainless steel, offering resistance to deformation and good sealing for repeated use. A powder coat finish protects the exterior from corrosion and makes cleaning easier, while brass connectors resist wear from repeated hose connections.

• HP295 stainless-steel bottle resists dents and retains a tight seal.
• Powder coat finish adds surface protection and neat aesthetics.
• Brass fittings and valves reduce risk of thread wear and leaks over time.

Which refrigerants and applications are supported?

FAHKNS designed this cylinder for a wide range of common refrigerants such as R12, R22 and R134A, making it suitable for residential, commercial and light-industrial HVAC work. The tank is meant for recovery and short-term storage during transport or service, not for long-term charging or mixing different refrigerants.

• Compatible with common refrigerants used in HVAC service (R12, R22, R134A).
• Appropriate for homes, workshops, service vans and professional job sites.
• Not intended for mixing different refrigerants in a single recovery operation.

What operational limits and handling rules should I follow?

To keep the cylinder safe and compliant, always keep it upright and avoid tilting during recovery. Operate within the specified temperature range and follow local regulations for refrigerant handling, transport and disposal. This product does not include a float switch, so users must observe fill levels and use proper gauges.

• Keep tank upright; do not tilt when recovering refrigerant.
• Do not mix different refrigerants in the same cylinder.
• Operating environment temperature range: -20 to 55°C; monitor ambient changes.

Who is this for: The FAHKNS Refrigerant Recovery Tank 30 LB suits HVAC technicians, service contractors, and knowledgeable DIYers who require a robust, reusable stainless-steel recovery cylinder for routine refrigerant capture and transport. It’s ideal when you need reliable brass fittings, clear vapor/liquid control and a rugged finish—provided you follow safety rules, regulatory requirements, and do not attempt to mix refrigerants or use the tank beyond recommended temperature limits.
