While R-410A is a high-pressure refrigerant, it can be stored in the back of your service van as long as the interior temperature does not exceed how many degrees Fahrenheit?

High-pressure refrigerants like R-410A are stored in sealed cylinders, and the pressure inside rises as the temperature goes up. If the van’s interior gets too hot, the cylinder can be exposed to temperatures that push the internal pressure beyond what the cylinder or its safety relief can safely handle, increasing the risk of venting or a failure. Keeping the interior temperature at or below 125°F helps ensure the pressure stays within safe limits for transport and storage. Storing at lower temperatures (like 100°F or 90°F) is still safe but not the maximum limit, while allowing the temperature to reach 150°F would be unsafe.
