What are good pressure readings for R-22?
R22 Refrigerant Rules of Thumb
- R-22 Low-Side pressure = 30 psi at 90°F ambient temperature.
- R-22 Low-Side Typical Operating Pressure-Range = 58 – 85 psig (varying by indoor wet bulb temperature and outdoor ambient temperature, where higher heat loads increase the vapor line pressure)
What should suction line temp be R-22?
For example, 68 psi suction pressure on a R-22 system converts to 40°F. Let’s say the suction line temperature is 50°F. Subtracting the two numbers gives us 10°F of superheat. Superheat for most systems should be approximately 10F measured at the evaporator; 20°F to 25°F near the compressor.
Is R-22 a high pressure refrigerant?
Metrex Valve are experts in both standard pressure refrigerant valves (R22 refrigerant), as well as high refrigerant pressure models (R410a refrigerant). Some of the high-pressure valves have been tested to 2300 PSI, showing durability and robust functionality.

What should home AC pressures be?
Most technicians in the HVAC field know the normal range of operation for the low-pressure side of an air conditioning system. This tends to be around 60 PSI to 85 PSI for R-22 and 105 PSI to 143 PSI for R-410A and is dependent upon operating conditions.
What are normal operating pressures for r410a?
For R-410A, a working pressure capability of at least 400 psi is recommended (this includes recovery cylinders). Standard DOT recovery cylinders rated for 350 psi should not be used.
