45° double drop elbow 7/8 ACR 9606 007000000

Professional solution for air conditioning and refrigeration systems

The 45° double-socket elbow with a diameter of 7/8 inch is an element from the ACR (Air Conditioning & Refrigeration) range by Conex/Bänninger, specifically developed for demanding HVAC-R applications. The double-socket design with brazing ends allows for easy connection to copper pipes of the same diameter, ensuring a leak-proof and durable connection.

High-quality construction and materials

The element is made of copper - a material with excellent thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, which is crucial in refrigeration systems. The product belongs to the ACR range, which includes a complete range of copper and copper alloy fittings intended for brazing in air conditioning and refrigeration applications.

The construction is based on heavy-wall copper tubing, which guarantees constant wall thickness and ensures leak-tightness and long-term durability of the connections. Each element undergoes rigorous quality control to meet the highest industry standards.

Compliance with standards and operating parameters

The fitting meets the requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU for both high and low working pressures. Production is carried out in accordance with the ANSI B16.22 standard, which regulates dimensions and tolerances for inch-size system applications used in air conditioning and refrigeration.

For the 7/8 inch diameter, the element provides:

• Working pressure of 36 bar at a temperature of 100°C
• Working pressure of 32 bar at a temperature of 150°C

These parameters allow for safe operation in typical refrigeration installation conditions where high refrigerant pressures occur.

Practical installation application

The elbow finds wide application in suction and discharge line installations in split, multi-split, and central refrigeration systems. The double-socket design allows for a change in the direction of refrigerant flow by 45°, which is particularly useful when routing installations through walls or around architectural obstacles.

The brazing end ensures a durable connection without the need for additional mechanical seals. Soft or hard brazing creates a uniform metallic structure, eliminating the risk of leaks characteristic of threaded or flanged connections.
