🧰 The 5 Tools Every Tradie Needs for Refrigerant Recovery

Let’s be real—refrigerant recovery isn't the flashiest part of the job, but it’s one of the most important. Whether you’re working with R32, R410A, or something in between, having the right gear makes all the difference between a clean recovery and a total mess (or worse, a fine).

So, if you're just starting out or want to double-check your setup, here are the 5 essential tools every Aussie tradie needs for refrigerant recovery:

1. Refrigerant Recovery Machine

This is your MVP. It pulls refrigerant out of the system and into a recovery cylinder—clean, fast, and legally. Make sure it’s R32-compatible if you’re working on modern units.

Top Pick: Fieldpiece MR45 or Javac RG6000 — both are rated for Aussie conditions and handle the job without breaking a sweat.

2. Recovery Cylinder

You legally can’t vent refrigerant, so this is where the gas goes. Make sure it’s:

Certified for your refrigerant type

Not overfilled (max 80% capacity)

Stored upright and safely

Bonus points for using a digital scale to track weight.

3. Manifold Gauge Set

You’ll need a good set of gauges to monitor pressure and safely control the recovery process. For R32 or R410A systems, choose high-pressure rated gauges and hoses.

Bluetooth digital gauges are a solid upgrade if you like logging your work or going paperless.

4. High-Pressure Hoses

Don’t trust any old hose. Go for vacuum-rated, R32-approved hoses with anti-blowback valves to prevent leaks. Cheap hoses = slow vacuum + safety risk.

5. Vacuum Pump

After recovery, you’ll need to evacuate the system before recharge. A 2-stage pump rated for R32 will help you pull a deep vacuum, remove moisture, and prep the unit properly.

Pro tip: Always check your oil level before every job—it can make or break your vacuum.

⚠️ Don’t Forget Safety!

Keep a fire extinguisher on hand for R32 work

Ventilate the work area

Wear gloves and eye protection

✅ Quick Checklist for Tradies:

R32 Recovery Machine

Certified Recovery Cylinder

Manifold Gauges

Vacuum-Rated Hoses

2-Stage Vacuum Pump

PPE (gloves, goggles, extinguisher)

Refrigerant recovery doesn’t need to be complicated—just safe, legal, and efficient. With these five tools in your kit, you’ll be ready to tackle any split system, rooftop unit, or ducted install like a pro.
