Before R134A, was there R134?
What's with the "A"?

I think it has to do with an additive package in the base refrigerant, but don't quote me on that.

Just took the test to get 609 certified last month so I could buy some R12. In all the paperwork and study stuff there is no mention of an R134, only the R134a. Lot of other concoctions but no R134.  Mike
