ICS Industries – 1/8″ OD Copper Refrigeration ACR Tubing 50 FT

Description

Product Overview

The ICS Industries 1/8 OD copper refrigeration ACR tubing is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern HVAC and commercial cooling systems. Crafted from high-purity copper, this soft tube conforms to ASTM B-280 specifications, guaranteeing consistent thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. With a nominal wall thickness of 0.030 inches and an outside diameter of 0.13 inches, the tubing provides a balance of flexibility and strength, allowing for smooth bends and reliable pressure handling. The 50‑foot (600‑inch) length is ideal for both new installations and retrofits, reducing the need for multiple splices and minimizing potential leak points. Each tube is manufactured in the United States, reflecting strict quality control standards and ensuring traceability throughout the supply chain.

Usage

Designed for a wide range of refrigeration and air‑conditioning applications, this copper ACR tubing excels in environments where efficient heat exchange is critical. It is commonly used in commercial chillers, supermarket refrigeration units, and industrial process cooling loops. The tube’s soft copper composition allows installers to shape it around tight corners without compromising structural integrity, making it suitable for complex ductwork and confined spaces. Additionally, the material’s natural antimicrobial properties help maintain system hygiene, an important factor in food‑service and pharmaceutical cooling systems. Whether you are outfitting a new data‑center cooling circuit or upgrading an existing HVAC plant, the 1/8 OD size offers a versatile solution that integrates seamlessly with standard fittings and valves.
