Copper piping for air conditioners is used when routing the line between the indoor and outdoor unit. In terms of physical properties, copper is the best choice for air conditioning and ventilation systems. It is necessary to buy copper pipes for air conditioners separately, as they are not included in the package.
Copper tubing properties for air conditioners
- are made from high quality raw materials;
- long service life;
- not subject to corrosion;
- durable;
- environmentally friendly;
- withstand temperature surges;
- do not require additional insulation;
- plastic, easy to expand;
- mounted on compression fittings.
One of the most important properties of copper tubing for air conditioners is its ductility.
It allows you to bend the track and flare the ends tightly, creating reliable and tight connections.
You can buy copper pipes for air conditioners from Chinese, Korean, Finnish or Serbian manufacturers. All products are certified and meet international standards.
Copper tubing sizes for air conditioners
When laying the inter-unit route, soft or hard copper pipes are used for air conditioners with diameters of 1 \ 2 ", 1 \ 4", 3 \ 8 "and others. The wall thickness of the soft copper tube is from 0.76 to 1.14 mm.
The price of a copper tube for air conditioners is determined per running meter and depends on the quality (hard or soft), wall thickness and diameter. The soft tube is sold in bays of 15 and 45 meters. But smaller stores sell pipes of shorter lengths.
The price of a copper tube for air conditioners per running meter (soft) ranges from 48 to 267 rubles.
The solid tube is used for routing industrial air conditioners and refrigeration units. It is sold in pieces of 3 or 5 meters. This copper pipe of air conditioners is available in large diameters from 7 \ 8 "to 4 1 \ 8", with wall thickness from 1.14 to 2.79 mm.
Many manufacturers complete the tube with thermal insulation. It is made of foam: rubber (more expensive) and polyethylene (cheaper). The wall thickness of the insulation can be 6 or 9 mm. It must be installed.
If purchased separately, it is matched to the diameter of the copper tube for the air conditioner. The insulation should cover up to 95% of the tube length.
Some types of pipes must be ordered in advance. Many vendors offer pre-slicing, which is very convenient.
