- High temperature glide requires correct professional charging and servicing procedures
Applications
Honeywell Genetron® R407C is intended for equipment designed or specifically approved for R407C. Typical applications include:
- Residential unitary air-conditioning systems
- Light-commercial air-conditioning systems
- Commercial air-conditioning systems
- Heat-pump systems
- Packaged air-conditioning units
- Positive-displacement refrigeration systems
- Compatible medium-temperature refrigeration equipment
- Positive-displacement chillers without flooded heat exchangers
- Approved R22 retrofit applications following proper system conversion
R407C must not be treated as a universal or direct drop-in replacement for R22. Retrofitting an R22 system may require system modifications, removal of the existing lubricant, conversion to an approved POE lubricant and verification of operating pressures and components.
Safety and Handling
R407C is stored as a liquefied gas under pressure. Protect the cylinder from excessive heat, direct sunlight, physical damage and improper handling. Store it in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area.
Contact with liquid refrigerant can cause cold burns or frostbite. A substantial vapour release may displace oxygen, particularly in low or enclosed spaces. Handling, charging and recovery should be performed by a qualified HVAC or refrigeration technician using suitable equipment and personal protective equipment.
Because R407C is a refrigerant blend with temperature glide, it must be handled and charged according to the equipment and refrigerant manufacturer’s approved procedure. Refrigerant recovery, transport and disposal must comply with applicable local requirements and the current safety data sheet.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Honeywell Genetron R407C refrigerant used for?
Honeywell Genetron R407C is used in compatible residential and commercial air-conditioning systems, heat pumps, packaged units, positive-displacement refrigeration equipment and approved chillers without flooded heat exchangers.
What is the weight of this Honeywell R407C cylinder?
This Honeywell Genetron R407C cylinder contains 11.3kg, equivalent to approximately 25 lb, of refrigerant.
What gases are included in R407C?
R407C is an HFC blend containing approximately 23% R32, 25% R125 and 52% R134a by weight.
Is R407C refrigerant flammable?
R407C has an ASHRAE A1 safety classification and is classified as non-flammable under the applicable standard test conditions. It remains a liquefied gas under pressure and must be handled according to the current safety data sheet.
Does R407C have ozone depletion potential?
R407C has zero ozone depletion potential. However, it has a published global warming potential, so recovery, handling and disposal must follow applicable environmental requirements.
Can R407C directly replace R22?
No. R407C is not a universal drop-in replacement for R22. A qualified technician must assess the system, lubricant, components, operating pressures and retrofit requirements before conversion.
Which lubricant is typically used with R407C?
POE lubricant is typically used in compatible R407C systems. The lubricant type, viscosity and retrofit procedure must follow the compressor or equipment manufacturer’s specifications.
