About R-22 30 lb Refrigerant - Virgin, Factory-Sealed

R-22 (HCFC-22) was the dominant residential and light-commercial refrigerant for decades. Under Montreal Protocol phaseout rules, production and import of new R-22 was banned in the United States effective January 1, 2020. Existing stock and reclaimed R-22 remain legal for servicing the millions of legacy systems still in operation. Delta Refrigerants supplies factory-sealed virgin R-22 from pre-2020 inventory for operators who prefer virgin product over reclaimed. Due to production ban, pricing reflects market scarcity.

Key Features

  • Non-flammable A1
  • For service of legacy systems only

Frequently Asked Questions

Is R-22 legal to buy in 2026?+

Yes - for servicing existing equipment. Production and import have been banned since January 1, 2020, but existing stock and reclaimed R-22 remain legal to sell and use.

Why is R-22 so expensive?+

Production has been banned since 2020; only existing stock and reclaimed material remain. Limited supply against ongoing legacy-equipment demand drives premium pricing.

Should I retrofit my R-22 system?+

Depends on equipment age. For systems older than 15 years, replacement with an R-410A or R-454B unit usually offers better ROI. For newer systems, R-407C retrofit is a valid option.

Virgin R-22 in 2026 — rare

Hard to find true virgin R-22 anymore; most places push reclaimed. Delta's was virgin, pre-2020 production, factory sealed. Customer with a 2008 system is happy for another season.

Price is what it is for R-22 in 2026. Appreciated the honest price disclosure on the site before I committed. Shipment was packaged correctly and arrived in 2 days.

Went with R-407C retrofit on another customer's older unit after reading Delta's blog guide. Helpful content. This R-22 cylinder was for a different service call where retrofit wasn't worth it.
