Clayton, North Carolina – February 3, 2025 – FluoroFusion, a leading provider of HVAC solutions, today announced its full support for the recent Safety Advisory Notice issued by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) regarding the dangers of using non-compliant recovery cylinders. The advisory highlights the risks associated with cylinders that do not meet the stringent safety standards required for the transportation of hazardous materials, including refrigerant gases.

PHMSA‘s notice emphasizes the importance of using cylinders that are manufactured to DOT or UN standards and properly marked with certification markings. Non-compliant cylinders may notbe designed to withstand the high pressures involved in refrigerant recovery and could pose significant safety risks to HVAC technicians, transportation workers, and the general public.

“FluoroFusion is committed to the safety of our customers, sustainability partners, and the HVAC/R industry as a whole,” said Brad Kivlan, Executive Vice President at FluoroFusion. “We strongly urge all service technicians to ensure they are using DOT or UN-compliant recovery cylinders to protect themselves and the public. The use of non-compliant cylinders can lead to serious consequences, including fires, explosions, and the release of refrigerants into the environment.”

FluoroFusion encourages all HVAC technicians to review the PHMSA Safety Advisory Notice and familiarize themselves with the requirements for compliant recovery cylinders. The company also recommends that technicians purchase cylinders only from reputable suppliers and verify that the cylinders are properly marked and certified.
