Study Notes
Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning System Components
- Copper tubing is commonly used in refrigerant piping, plumbing, and heating systems.
- Copper tubing comes in soft-drawn and hard-drawn varieties.
- ACR tubing is available pre-assembled in line sets.
- Tubing can be cut using a hacksaw or tubing cutter.
- Soft copper tubing can be bent using springs, lever benders, or by hand.
- Soldering and brazing are done using air-acetylene or oxyacetylene equipment. Higher temperatures are needed for brazing.
Joining Tubing and Fittings
- Flare joints are a mechanical method for joining tubing and fittings.
- Swaged joints are used to connect two pieces of the same size copper tubing.
- Compression joints are often used in water piping systems.
Steel Pipe
- Steel pipe is used in plumbing, hydronic heating, and gas heating systems.
- Steel pipe connections use threaded fittings or welding.
Plastic Pipe
- ABS, PE, PVC, and CPVC are common types of plastic pipe, each with specific applications.
