Can someone direct me to the manufacture/location of copper Refrigeration pipe and fittings I can use in a service. I'm looking for OD copper not ID..........

Thanks for your time,

Dont they have a fairly complete Mueller catalogue? I believe Mueller has a refrigeration product line. You might look into that.

David,

I checked out the Mueller copper products and did'nt find the refrigerant piping sizes (ie. 7/8_1 1/8_1 3/8_1 5/8 ect.). The Mueller products that were in the services were for the plumbing water piping sizes. This may be an issue as the refer copper call out for 1/2" is 1/2"OD and the plumbing call out for 1/2" is 5/8"OD. I dont know......I'm doing more research on this item today and I'll let you know where it lands.......

Thanks for the response,

Jim

In mine, I used the mueller catalog from service template "Mechanical - MuellerCopper_V1". You can then add sizes that you need in the product list. The project I am currently working on is requiring 1/2" Liquid and 3/4" Suction. Hope that helps.

Easy fix is to copy a plumbing service then rename the data to the OD sizes.

Backnblack,

I went down that road.........The problem starts to arise with the quanity of small bore refrigerant piping vs plumbing, I cant make a complete sevice as it relates to the needs of the detailers. Refrigerant piping sizes 3/8"_1/2"_5/8"_3/4"_7/8"_1-1/8"_1-3/8"_1-5/8"_2-1/8"_2-5/8"_3-1/8"_3-5/8"_4-1/8"..........

I could possibly create a custom service per job if I knew the sizes prior to the start..........

Thanks for your response,

Jim

Product list all the sizes in the database and then set up services as required.
