When every pound of refrigerant counts, you need a recovery cylinder that keeps up with the demands of professional HVAC work. The Flame King 123LB Refrigerant Cylinder Tank delivers the capacity, safety engineering, and build quality that technicians rely on — job after job, season after season. Whether you're recovering R-410A on a rooftop or storing refrigerant between service calls, this tank is built to perform without compromise.
Why Flame King 123LB Refrigerant Cylinder
Flame King has built its reputation on cylinders that meet or exceed every relevant industry standard — and this 123LB recovery tank is no exception. Manufactured in ISO 9001-certified facilities and compliant with DOT-4BA-400 specifications and AHRI guidelines, it carries both DOT and TC certification for use across the US and Canada. Unlike generic import cylinders, every unit is X-rayed and hydrostatically tested before it leaves the factory, then pre-purged and vacuum-ready so you can start filling immediately upon arrival.
The dual-access Y-valve design sets this tank apart from single-port alternatives, giving technicians simultaneous liquid and vapor service access — a critical advantage when speed and efficiency matter on the job site. The 3/4-inch NPT opening is compatible with an 80% fill float switch shut-off device (sold separately), and the built-in pressure relief valve provides an essential safety layer against overpressure events.
Key Benefits
- DOT & TC Dual Certification – Approved for legal use in both the United States and Canada, giving you full compliance across cross-border service operations.
- X-Ray & Hydrostatic Testing – Every tank is individually tested to verify weld integrity and structural soundness before shipment.
- Dual-Access Y-Valve – Enables simultaneous liquid and vapor service, reducing recovery time and improving workflow efficiency.
- Pre-Purged & Vacuum-Ready – Arrives ready for immediate refrigerant filling — no additional prep required.
- Built-In Pressure Relief Valve – Automatically vents excess pressure to prevent tank rupture or uncontrolled gas release.
- Corrosion-Resistant Powder Coat Finish – High-grade welded steel construction with a durable finish that stands up to outdoor storage and harsh job site conditions.
- 80% Fill Float Switch Compatible – 3/4-inch NPT opening accepts a float switch shut-off device for safe, automated fill control.
- ISO 9001-Certified Manufacturing – Produced in facilities with award-winning safety practices and rigorous quality management systems.
Use Cases
- HVAC Refrigerant Recovery – Recover refrigerant from residential and commercial systems during service, repair, or equipment replacement.
- Refrigerant Storage Between Jobs – Safely store recovered refrigerant on your service vehicle or at your shop between service calls.
- Bulk Refrigerant Transport – Transport large quantities of refrigerant to job sites in a single, DOT-compliant cylinder.
- Commercial Refrigeration Service – Handle the high-volume recovery demands of walk-in coolers, freezers, and commercial refrigeration systems.
- HVAC Fleet Operations – Standardize recovery equipment across a multi-technician fleet with a reliable, widely compatible cylinder.
- Refrigerant Reclaim Programs – Use as a dedicated reclaim cylinder for refrigerant sent to certified reclamation facilities.
Directions for Use
- Inspect the cylinder and valve for damage before each use. Do not use if the pressure relief valve, valve stem, or body shows signs of damage or corrosion.
- Connect the vapor port (blue/low-side) and liquid port (red/high-side) of the Y-valve to your recovery machine using appropriate hoses and fittings.
- Ensure the cylinder is placed on a stable, level surface during recovery operations.
- Do not fill beyond 80% of the cylinder's water capacity. Use an 80% fill float switch shut-off device (3/4-inch NPT, sold separately) for automated fill control.
- After use, close the valve fully and replace the valve cap before transport or storage.
- Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
- Follow all applicable EPA Section 608 regulations for refrigerant handling and recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
What refrigerants is this cylinder compatible with?
This cylinder is designed for use with common HVAC refrigerants including R-22, R-410A, R-404A, R-134a, and other refrigerants compatible with DOT-4BA-400 rated cylinders. Always verify compatibility with your specific refrigerant before use.
Does this tank come with a float switch shut-off device?
No, the 80% fill float switch shut-off device is not included. The 3/4-inch NPT opening is compatible with standard float switch devices available separately.
Is this cylinder legal to use in Canada?
Yes. This tank carries both DOT (US) and TC (Transport Canada) certification, making it compliant for use in both the United States and Canada.
How should I store this cylinder when not in use?
Store upright in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources, open flames, and direct sunlight. Always close the valve fully and replace the valve cap during storage.
What is the maximum fill capacity?
The cylinder has a 123LB water capacity. Per industry safety standards, it should never be filled beyond 80% of its water capacity. Use a float switch shut-off device to prevent overfilling.
Is this cylinder refillable?
Yes. This is a refillable recovery cylinder designed for repeated use in professional HVAC refrigerant recovery and storage applications.
