Airgas T 005 Nitrogen Tank 40 Cu Ft Blue

Product Description

The AIRGAS t 005 is a 40 cubic foot nitrogen tank designed for use in HVAC, plumbing, and refrigeration service applications. Nitrogen is used to pressurize and purge refrigerant lines, test for leaks in piping systems, and purge copper tubing during brazing to prevent oxidation. The blue color coding identifies this cylinder as containing nitrogen. This tank is handled and deployed by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and refrigeration mechanics on both residential and commercial job sites.

The t 005 nitrogen tank is suited for field service work where a portable, manageable cylinder volume is needed. At 40 cubic feet, it is practical for single-system line set pressure tests, pre-charge purging, and short-run brazing operations. It is commonly used by HVAC contractors performing new installations, retrofits, and system commissioning where dry nitrogen is required to maintain clean, moisture-free piping.

Key Features

• 40 cubic foot capacity suitable for field service and portable use
• Blue cylinder color coding identifies nitrogen gas content
• Used for refrigerant line pressurization, leak testing, and copper purge during brazing
• Portable cylinder size manageable for single-technician transport and use

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard CGA-580 nitrogen regulators commonly used in HVAC and refrigeration service. Verify regulator compatibility before use.

Installation Notes

This cylinder must be secured upright with a strap or chain during storage, transport, and use per DOT and OSHA guidelines. Always attach an appropriate nitrogen regulator rated for high-pressure cylinders before opening the valve. Never use nitrogen cylinders without a regulator, and never use a nitrogen tank as a substitute for refrigerant or oxygen service. Only qualified HVAC or refrigeration technicians should handle and connect high-pressure gas cylinders.
