ASE Hosting Free Webinar on R-1234yf Retrofits and EPA Regulations

The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence is hosting a free webinar on Thursday, May 7, at 4:00 p.m. ET entitled "R-1234yf Refrigerant Retrofits for R-134a Automotive A/C Systems."

In 2026, air conditioning service technicians will have an additional servicing option for R-134a automotive A/C systems. The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) newest rulemaking, SNAP Rule #27, will allow the use of R-1234yf as a retrofit refrigerant.

In this special session, Kerry Gray from Chemours, along with MaryJo VandenBrink from Solstice, will outline a new chapter coming in A/C service. Topics covered will include an overview of EPA SNAP Rule #27 and details involved with the retrofitting process, including specifics about new service fittings and labeling requirements.

Participants in this webinar will receive a certificate of attendance for the live session. Please allow one week for automatic email delivery of the certificate.

After registering, a confirmation email will be sent containing information about joining the webinar. Those who are not sure if they can attend are encouraged to register as they will receive a follow-up email with details on how to attend a recorded session, if available. Access to recorded sessions is reserved for those who register for the live event.
