AMC 30 lb Refrigerant Recovery Tank
AMC 30 lb Refrigerant Recovery Tank
The AMC 30 lb Refrigerant Recovery Tank is a reusable, DOT-style recovery cylinder built for safe, hands-free refrigerant recovery across HVAC/R, automotive A/C, and refrigeration service. A built-in float switch automatically powers off the recovery process at ~80% capacity to prevent overflow, while a trace charge of nitrogen guards against internal corrosion. Crafted from thickened HP295 steel with a rust-resistant powder coating, it's made for repeated, long-term use.
Key Features
- Automatic power-off (float switch): the tank ships with a floating switch set to suspend recovery at 80% capacity to prevent overfilling. The threshold is adjustable, so the recovery process runs unattended.
- Strong compatibility: built-in 1/4" SAE interface valve fits most hose sizes and includes two 1/4" SAE to 1/2" ACME brass adapters for a tight, low-leak connection — ideal for older household systems.
- Explosion-proof & non-leak design: integral-forming brass Y-valve seals tightly to recover and discharge both liquid and vapor. An included pressure-relief valve auto-vents if working pressure is exceeded for safer operation.
- Covers your needs: 30 lb capacity handles a wide range of refrigerants including R134A, R-22, R-12, R410A, R404A, R502, R1234YF, and R32.
- Reusable & durable: tank body crafted from durable HP295 steel with a 0.1-inch wall thickness, finished in a high-gloss, rust-resistant powder coating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it stop on its own when full?
Yes. The float switch suspends recovery at about 80% capacity to prevent overflow, and the threshold is adjustable so you can run it unattended.
What connections does it use?
A 1/4" SAE interface valve, plus two included 1/4" SAE to 1/2" ACME brass adapters so it pairs with most recovery machines and hoses.
Why is there nitrogen in the tank?
A trace amount of nitrogen is added to protect the interior against corrosion during storage and shipping.
