Mastercool refrigerant recovery cylinder 50 lb — Y-valve liquid/vapor, DOT-4BA400

The Mastercool 63010 is a 50 lb powder-coated refrigerant recovery cylinder designed for safe, reusable storage and transport of recovered refrigerants with a Y-valve for separate liquid and vapor control.

This heavy-duty recovery tank combines DOT-4BA400 and Canadian approvals with a durable powder-coated finish, a two-port Y-valve for liquid and vapor handling, and factory pressure and leak testing. Built from high-strength HP325/HP345 steel, it’s designed for technicians who need a reliable container for recovered refrigerants during service, retrofit or disposal operations. The cylinder arrives pre-charged to keep the interior dry and clean and accepts an 80% fill float switch through a 3/4" NPT opening for automatic shutoff compatibility.

How does the Y-valve help when recovering refrigerant?

The integrated Y-valve separates liquid and vapor lines so you can control recovery mode without changing fittings. This reduces contamination risk and speeds up the process by letting you draw liquid refrigerant directly or pull vapor when appropriate.

• Dual-port design for independent liquid or vapor recovery
• 1/4" FL-M (7/16-20) fittings for secure connection
• Improves recovery efficiency and reduces cross-contamination
• Supports common service hose and manifold setups

What safety and certification features does this tank include?

The 63010 meets DOT-4BA400 standards and carries Canadian approvals, and each cylinder is pressure- and leak-tested at the factory. Relief, test, and service pressures are specified to industry norms to ensure safe filling, storage and transport of recovered refrigerant gases.

• DOT-4BA400 compliant and CAN/CSA-B339-02 (TC) approved
• Tank test pressure 800 PSI; service pressure 400 PSI; relief valve 600 PSI
• Factory air tightness and leak testing before shipment
• UL-listed valve and float switch compatibility

What fittings, size and handling details should I expect?

The cylinder measures 12.25" by 18.78" and has a tare weight of 28.71 lb with a nominal water capacity of 47.7 lb (21.6 L). It includes a 3/4" NPT opening for an 80% fill float switch and a dedicated 1/4" port for air purge, plus a collar for convenient lifting and transport.

• Dimensions: 12.25" (w) x 18.78" (h); tare weight 28.71 lb
• Nominal capacity: 47.7 lb / 21.6 L; usable fill per 80% rule
• 3/4" NPT for float switch; 1/4" opening for purge valve
• Powder-coated exterior for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning

Which refrigerants can be stored in this cylinder?

The 63010 is suitable for a wide range of common refrigerants, including legacy and modern blends, but it is not to be used with nitrogen. It’s reusable and intended for recovered refrigerants only—ensure compatibility with service protocols and disposal regulations before use.

• Compatible with CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs and many blends (e.g., R12, R22, R134a, R410A)
• Reusable design for repeated service cycles
• Not approved for use with nitrogen
• Pre-charged and dry interior to minimize contamination

Who is this for? HVACR technicians, recovery service providers and contractors who need a certified, durable recovery cylinder for onsite refrigerant reclamation, transfer and transport will benefit from the Mastercool 63010. It fits service vans and shops where dependable, OSHA- and DOT-compliant equipment is required for routine recovery work and compliance with environmental handling standards.
