Our Bluefire 340g Refrigerant Can (typically described as 12 oz can in North America) is a heavy duty, professional can designed for use by mobile HVAC technicians, automotive repair shops and DIY automotive repair / maintenance kits. It is a heavy duty steel pressure container of 340 grams that contains elevated internal storage pressures. This allows for a single charge or a controlled dispense of gas, ideal for use on daily servicing work rather than having to transport and handle large industrial cylinders.
Constructed from high-tensile cold-rolled steel and treated with anti-corrosion interior coatings, the Bluefire 340g canister preserves gas purity and prevents chemical breakdown over long shelf-life storage. It accommodates a broad spectrum of modern refrigerants—including R134a, R1234yf, R600a, R290, and eco-friendly hydrocarbon blends. Integrated with robust female threaded aerosol valves, this canister ensures fast, gas-tight hose attachment, steady discharge rates, and total operator safety during field use.

Industry-Standard 12 oz (340g) Capacity: The can holds the perfect amount of air conditioning refrigerant to complete a single can charge to a vehicle’s air conditioning system. This size is perfect for field service operations that complete a single charge to a time and also reduces unused refrigerant and inventory.
Heavy-Duty Pressure Vessel Construction: Heavy-Duty Pressure Vessel Construction features deep-drawn steel bases and reinforced longitudinal seam welds to withstand high ambient temperatures, road vibration and shipping shocks.
Universal Valve Thread Compatibility: Machined valve threads (1/2′-16 ACME for US automotive tap adapters or 7/16′-28 UNEF for universal HVAC hoses) form an immediate gas-tight seal.
Anti-Corrosion Interior Lining: Special interior barrier lining to prevent corrosion or rust by chemical reaction with liquid refrigerants and with synthetic PAG/POE compressor lubricants.
100% Factory Safety Inspection: The International transport and hazardous material protocols are strictly adhered to. Each unit is tested on automated inline water bath pressure testing as well as optical dimension audits before the packing of the unit.
Service for Automotive AC System: These recharging kits are designed for use in passenger cars, trucks and commercial fleet vehicles and contain R134a or R1234yf refrigerant.
Commercial & Domestic Refrigeration: Our mobile refrigerant top-up service for ice machines, commercial display coolers and domestic fridges, using environmentally friendly R600a and R290 refrigerants.
HVAC Field Diagnostic & Flushing: For use in mobile service vans for field pressure diagnostics and system flush in remote job sites.
Bluefire provides OEM/ODM services for international chemical companies, automotive retail chains and HVAC distributors from all around the world. Our advanced automated offset printing lines produce highly detailed, chemical-resistant canister labels, containing customized company logos, safety warnings in multiple languages, GHS hazard symbols and customized barcodes. We supply both pre-filled cans with refrigerants as well as empty, clean cans that can be filled automatically with refrigerants in filling lines.
Q1: Why 340g (12 oz) is the most used volume for car refrigerant containers?
A: The specification of 340g / 12 oz corresponds to the standard capacity of a single-can for top-offs of the vehicle’s air conditioning system on the roads of North America as well as the rest of the world and is approved by all automotive servicing standards.
Q2: Does the 340g canister fulfill all transport and safety standards?
A: Yes. Our canisters are designed in accordance with the regulations of DOT-2Q and EN417 for burst pressure and structure to safely transport by ocean and by highway.
Q3: Can Bluefire fill and deliver pre-filled cans of 340g in different gas mixes?
A: Yes, we can supply certified pre-filled cans with pure R134a, R1234yf or other hydrocarbon refrigerants. We also supply empty steel pressure canisters for filling at authorized regional filling facilities which are licensed to do so.
