A-Gas to Attend 2024 FMI Energy & Store Development Conference

Industry leaders will highlight refrigerant regulatory shifts and more

Bowling Green, OH - A-Gas, a world leader in responsible lifecycle refrigerant management, announces its attendance at the Food Industry Association's Energy & Store Development Conference. From September 23-25, in Baltimore, Maryland, conference attendees can connect with A-Gas representatives to learn about the latest innovations in lifecycle refrigerant management, lower GWP alternative refrigerants, and local legislation that may impact food retailers' facilities and operations. The conference will allow attendees to connect on the industry's most pressing issues in energy efficiency, refrigeration, sustainability, and store design.


From refrigeration to integrating the circular economy into refrigerant management practices and shifting regulatory legislation, A-Gas brings extensive industry experience to the conference floor. A-Gas is a world leader in the supply and lifecycle management of refrigerants. Over three decades of heavy investment in state-of-the-art recovery and reclamation technology, A-Gas has been able to provide businesses with on-site EPA-certified recovery, cylinder swaps, and reclamation services. These not only add an additional revenue stream for businesses but facilitate the continued availability of these critical resources in times when supply chains are especially tight. Most important for the food retail industry is A-Gas' commitment to ongoing partnerships with its customers to provide regular portfolio-wide refrigerant services and product assurance with food retail industry leaders through its participation in the EPA GreenChill partnership.

Among other topics, A-Gas representatives will be present to help attendees navigate an ever-changing regulatory environment. More specifically, A-Gas aims to help California food retailers understand and plan for regulations that impact them, such as the adopted State Bill 1206 (SB 1206), which prohibits the sale and distribution of bulk HFCs or HFC blends that exceed set GWP limits. A-Gas' approach to lifecycle refrigerant management will help stores meet these regulations. With a focus on EPA-certified recovery and reclamation processes, A-Gas helps businesses meet HFC compliance while contributing to a growing circular economy for refrigerant gases. Furthermore, A-Gas offers certified reclaimed R410A, R4 Certified, which is certified reclaimed R410A that meets California's regulatory requirements outlined by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).

A-Gas looks forward to this opportunity for food retail industry leaders to learn about the critical ways we can operate more efficiently as an industry—making better use of the materials at our disposal and ultimately driving the next generation of cooling and refrigeration.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
