The refrigeration and air-conditioning sector is undergoing a profound transformation. The progressive phase-out of high-GWP refrigerant gases mandated by European F-Gas Regulation (EU) No. 517/2014, and by ongoing regulatory revisions, is pushing the entire industry towards a new generation of low-environmental-impact refrigerants: A2L class gases such as R32, R454B and R452B, and A3 class gases such as propane R290 and isobutane R600a.
These refrigerants are more eco-friendly, but they introduce a risk that technicians cannot ignore: they are flammable. Working with A2L and A3 class substances requires specific competencies, devices certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, and full compliance with ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU, transposed in Italy by Legislative Decree 85/2016. This is not a choice or an optional precaution: it is a legal obligation, with direct implications for the safety of operators, facilities and end customers.
The ATEX PRO Kit from GeneralGas is designed for those who accept no compromise. Compared to the Plus version, the PRO configuration raises the professional level of the equipment even further: the analogue manifold gauge gives way to the VALUE VRM2-X, a multigas digital manifold with HD display compatible with A2L refrigerants, supplied with an included F-Gas calibration report. In addition, the kit integrates the Value VCR1, a Schrader valve core removal tool tested for vacuum tightness up to 20 micron, an indispensable instrument for those working on modern systems with R410A and R32.
Every component has been selected from the best brands in the industry — VALUE, Fieldpiece, GK-Tools — to ensure high performance, full regulatory compliance and field reliability.
