Core (Universal)Question 31 of 240
Under the traditional color code, which refrigerant cylinder is rose (pink)?
a.R-22
b.R-134a
c.R-410A
d.R-12
Explanation
R-410A cylinders are traditionally colored rose (pink), which distinguishes them from light-green R-22, light-blue R-134a, and white R-12. Because R-410A operates at much higher pressures than R-22, using the correct refrigerant and gauges matters for safety. As always, the printed label is the authoritative identification, not the color.
