Mastercool 50 lb Refrigerant Recovery Cylinder - DOT-4BA400 Certified, Y-Valve, 1/4" FL-M Connections (Yellow/Gray)

Mastercool 63010 is a DOT-4BA400 certified, reusable 50 lb refrigerant recovery cylinder designed for safe storage and transport of recovered refrigerant gas (refrigerant not included).

This heavy-duty recovery cylinder pairs workshop durability with service-ready features: a Y-valve for separate liquid and vapor flow, powder-coated finish for corrosion resistance, and factory pressure testing to meet DOT and Canadian approvals. It accepts common HVAC refrigerants and fits standard service equipment via its 1/4" FL-M connections, making it a practical choice for technicians who need a rugged, compliant container for recovered refrigerants.

How does the Y-valve improve recovery operations?

The integrated Y-valve gives technicians the option to control liquid and vapor lines independently, which helps speed up proper recovery and reduces cross-contamination. That controlled separation is especially useful when moving between liquid pulls and vapor-only phases during service.

• Separate liquid and vapor ports for targeted recovery
• 1/4" FL-M (7/16-20) fittings for secure connections
• Reduces manual valve swapping and leak points

What safety and regulatory features does this cylinder include?

Built to DOT-4BA400 standards and tested at the factory, the cylinder meets relief and test-pressure requirements and is approved for Canadian transport standards as well. A powder-coated steel body and certified valve components add protection during handling and storage.

• Factory pressure and leak-tested before shipping
• Relief valve, test pressure, and service pressure rated to DOT specs
• UL-listed valves and TC/Canadian approvals for transport compliance

Which refrigerants and service workflows is the tank compatible with?

This Mastercool recovery cylinder is suitable for a broad range of refrigerants used in HVAC service, including legacy and modern blends. Note: the cylinder ships empty and is not intended for nitrogen use; always follow refrigerant-specific handling and labeling procedures.

• Works with CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs and common blends (e.g., R12, R22, R134a, R410A)
• Empty cylinder—recovered refrigerant must be added during service
• Not approved for nitrogen charging or storage

What are the physical specs and connection options I should know?

The cylinder measures roughly 12.25" by 18.78" with a tare weight around 28.7 lb and a nominal water capacity near 47.7 lb (21.6 L). Connection points include the 1/4" FL-M fittings for service hoses and a 3/4" NPT opening that accepts optional float switch shut-off devices for 80% fill control.

• Dimensions: 12.25" W x 18.78" H; tare weight ~28.71 lb
• Service pressure: 400 PSI; relief at 600 PSI; test at 800 PSI
• 3/4" NPT opening for optional float switch shut-off (80% fill)

Who this is for: HVAC technicians, service contractors, and shop managers who need a rugged, compliant 50 lb recovery cylinder for routine refrigerant reclaim and transport. It suits professionals who want DOT- and Canadian-approved equipment with practical service features like a Y-valve, secure fittings, factory testing, and a durable powder-coated finish. If you require a reusable, code-compliant tank for recovered refrigerant (and will not use nitrogen), the Mastercool 63010 is built for that workflow.
