Installation and installation of HVAC equipment is usually carried out by specialized services. Therefore, most consumers do not have the question "where to buy components for an air conditioner?". If the owners of the equipment want to save on installation, you will have to purchase everything you need yourself.
A set of components for installing air conditioners
The master will need the following set of components for the installation of air conditioners:
- copper pipe;
- copper fittings (sometimes you can do without them);
- insulation for freon pipelines;
- drainage tube;
- brackets;
- visor (at the request of the owner).
The copper pipe for air conditioners is used only from purified, deoxidized high fluoride copper.
The percentage of pure metal in this component for mounting the air conditioner is 99.9. The tube must be annealed, which gives it flexibility. The diameter of the tube is selected depending on the model of the air conditioner, the minimum internal diameter is 3.18 mm. The wall thickness varies depending on the diameter.
The pipe is sold in bays, and for private buyers by linear meters.
Copper fittings or fittings are used for fixing corner joints. As a rule, you can do without this component for installing an air conditioner. But if you can’t draw a track without bends, use the corners.
Thermal insulation and condensate drain
Without these accessories, it is not possible to install the air conditioner.
Heat-insulating tubes are made of foamed polyethylene, the surface is protected by a vinyl layer.
Affordable price makes them the most popular among private consumers. PES tubes per meter are sold. For ease of measurement, the meter is applied to the pipe surface.
There is a more expensive variety of components for air conditioners - thermal insulation made of synthetic rubber. It withstands temperature extremes from -40 to +116 degrees Celsius. Rubber also has noise canceling properties. High operational characteristics do rubber pipes one of the most demanded in the market.
Tubes are available with internal diameters from 6 mm, wall thickness can be 6 - 19 mm. These components for air conditioners are sold individually, the length of one piece is 2 meters.
Teflon wrapping tape is necessary to protect the surface of the rubber tubes from ultraviolet radiation.
The tape is sold in rolls of 30 meters, the width of the tape is 5 cm. On one side it is covered with an adhesive layer, which facilitates installation.
Drainage tubes are made of PVC (flexible corrugation) or PE (rigid). As a rule, for household air conditioners, a flexible corrugated tube is purchased. You can buy accessories for air conditioners for running meters, diameter 16 - 25 mm.
