Description
- VAFS Series (Stainless Steel) 🛡️
-
Models: VAFS-3 through VAFS-14 (fitting copper tubing from 3/8 in. up to 3-1/8 in. O.D.).
- Key Materials: Stainless Steel flexible tubing and Stainless Steel high tensile wire braid.
-
Primary Feature: High Pressure & Reliability
- Designed for use with modern, higher-pressure refrigerants, such as $\text{R}410\text{A}$.
- Smaller sizes (VAFS-3 through VAFS-12) have a standard Maximum Working Pressure (MWP) of 650 psig (45 bar).
- They are often electrically welded without braze joints for improved strength and reliability, eliminating a potential failure point common in older designs.
| Feature | Description | Benefit |
| Deep Pitch Corrugated Tubing | The internal flexible element has deeply spaced corrugations. | Maximum flexibility and superior vibration absorption. |
| High Tensile Wire Braid | An external braided wire covering the flexible tube. | Superior strength and durability to contain high-pressure refrigerant. |
| Rigorous Testing | Each unit is pressure tested and then vacuum tested using a sensitive helium mass spectrometer leak detection device. | Ensures the highest degree of leak integrity and system cleanliness. |
| Cleanliness | Units are cleaned, dehydrated, and sealed in plastic film after final inspection. | Guarantees cleanliness and dryness prior to installation into the refrigeration system. |
| Approvals | UL Recognized (Underwriter’s Laboratories) for both suction and discharge line applications. | Industry-recognized safety and performance standard. |
