Is the FR5 Air Conditioning Hose – Durable and Reliable Cooling Solution compatible with R134a, R410a, POE/PAG oils and CO2 (R‑744) at pressures up to 120 bar?

Yes. The FR5 Air Conditioning Hose – Durable and Reliable Cooling Solution is compatible with R134a, R410a, POE and PAG compressor oils, and CO2 (R-744) for pressures up to 120 bar. It is specifically designed for refrigerants including R134a and R410a, supports POE/PAG oils, and is suitable for CO2 transmission in sizes from 1/12" to 1/4", with a working pressure range of 45–120 bar and an operating temperature range of −45°C to +130°C (up to +70°C for water and air).

Can the FR5 Air Conditioning Hose – Durable and Reliable Cooling Solution be used for continuous CO2 (R‑744) service at low temperatures down to -45°C without degradation?

Yes. The FR5 Air Conditioning Hose – Durable and Reliable Cooling Solution can be used for continuous CO2 (R‑744) service at low temperatures down to −45°C without degradation. The product description explicitly states suitability for CO2 (R‑744) transmission, designed to withstand pressures nearly ten times those of standard refrigerants, with a working pressure range up to 120 bar. Its construction—polyamide inner layer (PA/TPE blend on smaller diameters), polyester braid reinforcement, and abrasion‑resistant polyurethane outer layer—provides chemical compatibility, mechanical strength and flexibility at low temperatures. The specified operating temperature range of −45°C to +130°C confirms it is rated to perform continuously at −45°C. Ensure selection of the correct size and pressure rating for your application and follow manufacturer installation and service guidelines.
