Freon™ Hot Shot-2

Refrigerant (R-417C)

Product Information
Freon™ Hot Shot-2 (R-417C) is a non-ozone depleting A1 Conversion Recommendations and Guidelines
refrigerant that can be used as a direct replacement into System must be designed for use with R-12, R-134a, and
existing systems that are still operating with R-12, R-134a, R-500 systems—in sound operating condition and free of
or R-500. Freon™ Hot Shot-2 is compatible with traditional leaks. Freon™ Hot Shot-2 is designed for use in systems
and new lubricants; in most cases, no change of lubricant is utilizing direct expansion metering (e.g., TXV, orifice, cap
required. tube). Change from CFC or HCFC to HFC refrigerants may
cause a retraction in O-rings and elastomers. Replace
Applications these items after recovery of the original refrigerant.

• R-12 and R-500 air conditioning Prior to conversion, operating conditions should be
monitored and recorded for future reference.
Benefits 2. Recover Original Refrigerant
• EPA SNAP listed for stationary equipment only In accordance with EPA guidelines, 100% of the
• Designed for systems utilizing direct expansion devices refrigerant must be recovered from the system.
• No TEV or cap tube replacement 3. Perform Oil Analysis
• Compatible with AB, MO, and POE lubricants Test system oil for acidity, water, and solids. If detected,
perform a complete system oil change using OEM

7. Charge System
Turn over cylinder, and charge system with LIQUID
ONLY. Refrigerant can be added directly into the
receiver tank or high-pressure side of the system with
compressor off. Charge ratios will vary based on
system design and application. Initial charge should be
80% of original refrigerant’s weight.

8. Run System
Check pressure, subcooling, and superheat temperatures.
If additional refrigerant is needed, add in 5% increments.
DO NOT exceed 115% of the original charge.

9. Properly Label System


Avoid mixing refrigerants by properly labelling the system.

10. Post-Conversion Leak Check


Perform a thorough leak check as system operation
begins post-conversion.

11. Record Post-Conversion System Data


Monitor and evaluate system performance. Record
data. This information should be compared to the
pre-conversion data.
