Four principal piping systems are used, each suited to different functions in the factory environment from compression through to the application of air (Fig. 9.15): Galvanized ‘malleable iron’ – used for compression and distribution.Copper pipe with brass compression fittings – used for local distribution and heavy-duty machine connections.Flexible plastic tubing and push-in fittings – light duty machine connections, colour coded for easier troubleshooting.Lined ABS piping with solvent-cement joints – distribution in protected environment subject to temperature limits and adequate support.

The welded flange connection is a reliable means of connecting tubing components. The flange welded to the tube end fits against the end of the fitting. The locknut of the flange is then tightened securely onto the fitting. The compression fitting connection uses a ferrule that pinches the tube as the locknut is tightened on the body of the fitting. The flare fitting connection uses tubing flared on one end of the tubing that matches the angle of the fitting. The tube's flared end is butted against the fitting, and a locknut is screwed tightly onto the fitting, sealing the tube connection properly.
Servicing and installing equipment using flammable refrigerants: Assessment of field-made mechanical joints (ASHRAE RP-1808)

The types of fittings selected for this study were press or crimp fittings, compression fittings, and flare fittings. Example images of the types of fittings are shown in Figure 1, while Table 1 lists the manufacturer-specified application parameters for each type of fitting used in this study. Press fittings create a seal by pressing a radial O-ring between the surface of a tube and a sleeve that is part of the fitting and that slides over the end of the tube, with the fitting held in place by forcing the tube and fitting together. Compression fittings create a seal by forcing a ferrule into a mating conical portion of the fitting union piece, with the tube held onto the fitting by a threaded nut. Flare fittings create a seal by forcing the flared end of a tube onto the mating angled portion of the fitting union piece, with the tube again held onto the fitting by a threaded nut. It can be seen from the table that all fitting types have sufficient pressure range for a typical HFC or HFO refrigerant system, while the temperature range also seems to be acceptable for all fitting types with the possible exception of the maximum recommended temperature of compression fittings. It is worth noting that press fittings and brazed joints are both permanent fittings, while compression and flare fittings are designed to be removable and reusable.
