Kembla Seamless Copper Tube
Recommended For:
- Indoor installations
- Outdoor installations
- Flare joining
- Air-conditioning and refrigeration
- New generation refrigerants
Suitable for 400 series refrigerants (including R410a).
Benefits:
- Suitable for low and high pressure refrigerants: Tube wall thickness will determine which refrigerant is suitable, depending upon temperature range. Pink capped tube has been specifically designed, cleaned and capped to meet the requirements of R410A airconditioning and refrigeration applications, however can also be installed for use with R22, R134a and other lower pressure refrigerants
- Half hard for easy bending: half hard tube can be bent using bending tools without applying additional heat
- Fittings Available: a full range of refrigeration fittings is available to suit Kembla copper refrigeration tube, including fittings suitable for high pressure refrigerants. Refer to Kembla Technical Bulletin D 49/05
Features:
- Cleaned and Capped: Kembla’s seamless copper tubes are manufactured to the stringent cleanliness requirements of AS/NZS 1571
- Wide range of joining methods: copper tubes and fittings can be successfully joined by silver brazing or flaring provided best practice and correct tools are utilised
Installation:
- Silver brazing: silver brazing shall be carried out by professional tradespersons using brazing principles and safety procedures in accordance with the methodology recommended in AS HB40
- High Pressure Refrigerants: the use of 15% silver solder is recommended when brazing tube for use with R410A or other high pressure refrigerants with a proprietary silver brazing flux, ensuring the removal of excess flux after completing the brazed joint
- Tube Wall Thickness: the minimum allowable copper tube wall thickness for use with R410A and other high pressure refrigerants shall be 0.81mm as per equipment manufacturer’s requirements
