But desertcart's handling job is a bit unsat on this one. Ignorance? or laziness? - Great quality recovery cylinder at an unbeatable price. Cylinder is on-par with mainstream brands. The problem, is with desertcart's packaging (see picture) and handling of this item. Buy a pack of socks, it comes carefully packaged. Buy a pressure vessel for storing a high pressure hazmat, it's thrown into an oversized box taped shut and kicked on down the road. YOU MUST DO BETTER desertcart. Fortunately, despite the box bursting open in transit, mine arrived virtually undamaged (minor paint scuffs), it is however already 1 year old. As to the warehouse deal tanks with "major cosmetic damage" see DOT specification DOT-4BA-400. They are likely unserviceable. All in all, a good product at a fair price. Just could use ALOT better packaging... some bubble wrap, packing paper maybe, a smaller box, double boxed, ...... Final Note: If you are bargain shopping; Stay away from the cheap Chinese knock-offs from that other online marketplace. The 20 to 30 $ you save could cost you or someone else a lot more. Review: Very sturdy, heavy gauge tank walls and high quality brass valve. - This tank should provide me with excellent service for decades. Do-it yourselfers- don't buy those cheap pressure cooker looking ones just because you think they are easy to clean (removable lid, etc). If you're a do-it-yourselfer, you should know as professionals do, that you would test the contents of the system before evacuating to determine if the refrigerant is re-usable. If it isn't, then use a designated junk tank for recovery of the contaminated refrigerant that can't be re-used. Those tanks are then to be turned over to an EPA certified reclaimer. My point is, you don't need to clean a dirty tank, because legally you can't do so unless you're a certified reclaimer. My new tanks always take the place of previous new tanks, which then become recovery only "junk" tanks. Buy a tank that will remain a new tank until it is replaced with the next new one. Be responsible to your planet. ## Features - BUILT TO INDUSTRY STANDARDS – Manufactured in ISO 9001 certified facilities and compliant with DOT-4BA-400 specifications and AHRI guidelines; DOT (Department of Transportation) and TC (Transport Canada) Certified for safe and reliable use. - HVAC APPLICATIONS – Designed for use to recover, store, and transport refrigerants; equipped with a built-in pressure relief valve for safety - HEAVY-DUTY CONSTRUCTION – Durable, refillable tank made from high-grade welded steel and finished with a corrosion-resistant powder coating for long-lasting performance - SAFETY TESTED EMPTY TANK – 50LB refrigerant recovery cylinder is X-ray and hydrostatically tested, pre-purged, and vacuum-ready for refrigerant filling (also available in 30LB, 123LB, and 239LB sizes - Models YSNR301, YSNR123, YSNR239) - DUAL-ACCESS Y-VALVE – Features a Y-valve for both liquid and vapor access (¼” SAE flare connections); includes an additional 3/4-inch NPT opening compatible with an 80% fill float switch shut-off device (device not included). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00IKLLIHA | | Best Sellers Rank | #81,062 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #17 in Refrigerant Recovery Tools | | Brand | Flame King | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (471) | | Date First Available | February 21, 2014 | | Item Weight | 25.6 pounds | | Item model number | YSNR501 | | Manufacturer | Flame King | | Manufacturer Part Number | YSNR501 | | Model | YSNR501 | | Product Dimensions | 12.3 x 12.3 x 19.3 inches | ## Images ![Flame King 50LB Refrigerant Recovery Cylinder Tank, 400 PSI, Dual Y-Valve Liquid/Vapor, Heavy-Duty Steel, HVAC Recovery & Storage - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71HAfVdSCAL.jpg) ![Flame King 50LB Refrigerant Recovery Cylinder Tank, 400 PSI, Dual Y-Valve Liquid/Vapor, Heavy-Duty Steel, HVAC Recovery & Storage - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-Z1aL8SaL.jpg) ![Flame King 50LB Refrigerant Recovery Cylinder Tank, 400 PSI, Dual Y-Valve Liquid/Vapor, Heavy-Duty Steel, HVAC Recovery & Storage - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71t3xztfi0L.jpg) ![Flame King 50LB Refrigerant Recovery Cylinder Tank, 400 PSI, Dual Y-Valve Liquid/Vapor, Heavy-Duty Steel, HVAC Recovery & Storage - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61mDWB1hIJL.jpg) ![Flame King 50LB Refrigerant Recovery Cylinder Tank, 400 PSI, Dual Y-Valve Liquid/Vapor, Heavy-Duty Steel, HVAC Recovery & Storage - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91UOaWGq2NL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: can this be used for 404a recovery?** A: Yes with a recovery machine.

Hopefully buying a DOT approved tank gets me a way to properly offload it to a recycler. After the beating I took trying to buy an adapter at a local HVAC supply house without producing a certificate of mastery, I don't have high hopes. Legislators: If you want to help the environment, enforce one of two things: 1. Require HVAC professionals to offer timely and appropriately priced evacuation services. 2. Make it clear to tradesmen that homeowners are allowed to work on their own property. As it is, pros refuse to show up for a "small" job. But they sure lay into you if you do it yourself. I'll bet a sizeable fraction of well-meaning people, after being bullied by two or three pros, just cut the line and walk away. If you want to regulate reclamation, do it in a way that doesn't punish homeowners for doing it right. This unit doesn't come with an auto-shutoff sensor. Be sure to get the tare weight before you put anything in the tank. Don't fill over 80% full. If you found a place near SLC that will empty the tank without giving you guff, drop me a line. ## Frequently Bought Together - Flame King YSNR501 50 Pound Refrigerant Recovery Cylinder Tank , Gray - Robinair (RG3 Portable Refrigerant Recovery Machine – 115V, 60Hz, for Both Liquid and Vapor Refrigerant, White - Robinair FLCK-1 Filter Conversion Kit for Promax Recovery and Recycling Units, 2 Piece Set --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/9734392-flame-king-50lb-refrigerant-recovery-cylinder-tank-400-psi-dual](https://www.desertcart.us/products/9734392-flame-king-50lb-refrigerant-recovery-cylinder-tank-400-psi-dual) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-05*
