Applications

Where it's used.

  • Copper tubes for VRV / VRF
  • Copper tubes for split & duct AC
  • Copper tubes for cold storage
  • Low fin tubes for evaporators & chillers
  • Degreased tubes for medical gas (MGPS)
  • Copper tubes for plumbing
  • Copper tubes for water & sanitation
  • Copper tubes for hot & cold water
  • Copper tubes for household gas
  • Copper tubes for heat exchangers & condensers
  • Copper tubes for solar
  • Copper tubes for sugar industries
  • Copper bus tubes for general engineering

Ranges below are from Mexflow by Mehta Tubes, whose copper we supply.

Good practice

  • Rigid tube stays straight and looks neat on long, clamped runs
  • Plan direction changes with elbows, since hard copper cracks if bent cold
  • Braze with a nitrogen purge to stop scale forming inside the pipe

Size guide

Outside diameter and wall thickness.

Sizes from 6.35 mm (1/4″) to 50.80 mm (2″). Pick the size, then a wall thickness rated for your refrigerant; R32 and R410A need the heavier walls.
