Copper Tubing & Fittings

 

In the refrigeration industry, copper tubing and fittings are referred to by their actual measured outside dimension.  (In the plumbing industry they are referred to by "nominal" dimensions).  All RParts copper fittings are wrot rather than cast to eliminate the possibility of porosity. Brass fittings are designed to withstand the pressure of refrigeration service.  Our copper tubing is cleaned and capped for refrigeration applications.

 

Copper Tubing

Our copper tubing is designed specifically for refrigeration use.  It is cleaned, nitrogen-purged and capped.  Full anneal gives maximum easy of bending.  We stock full rolls (50') and 1/2 rolls (approximately 25').  Refrigeration tubing size is always specified by the actual O.D. of the tube.

Bronze Vibration Isolators

For 50 years commercial refrigeration systems have used these 100% bronze isolators (see cut-away) to prevent the compressor vibration from work-hardening the copper tubing.  They are placed between the compressor and the connecting tubing.  They are for vibration isolation only and must not be bent.

180 Return Bend
 
Return, or "U" bends provide a 180 degree turn in a much smaller space than would be possible with a normal tube bender.  The 1/2" ID return bends have a 1.5" center-to-center distance while the 5/8" ID bends are 3" center-to-center.
