Which appliances are covered under EPA 608 Type II?

Type II covers high- and very high-pressure HVACR appliances, such as central air conditioners and heat pumps. These systems use refrigerants at higher pressures and typically carry larger refrigerant charges, which is why they fall under the Type II handling and recovery requirements. Low-pressure appliances are in Type III, not Type II. Water heater systems and portable air purifiers generally don’t involve the high‑pressure HVAC refrigerant circuits that Type II governs, so they aren’t covered by this category.
