FAQS on flexible metal tubing
Q: What are the key differences between flexible corrugated metal tubing and standard flexible metal tubing?
A: Flexible corrugated metal tubing has a ribbed design for enhanced bendability and vibration resistance, while standard flexible metal tubing offers smoother surfaces. Corrugated types excel in high-pressure or dynamic environments, whereas standard tubing is ideal for simpler routing applications. Both are durable but serve distinct operational needs.
Q: Can flexible metal tubing be used for water supply systems?
A: Yes, flexible metal tubing for water is specifically designed to handle potable water applications. It’s often made from corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel or copper alloys. Ensure the tubing meets local plumbing codes and pressure ratings before installation.
Q: What applications are best suited for flexible corrugated metal tubing?
A: It’s ideal for HVAC systems, gas lines, and industrial machinery where vibration dampening and thermal expansion are concerns. The corrugated structure also protects against abrasion in tight spaces. Avoid using it for highly corrosive fluids without protective coatings.
Q: How do I install flexible metal tubing for water connections?
A: Cut the tubing to length with specialized tools to avoid burrs, then secure it with compatible compression fittings. Always follow manufacturer guidelines for bending radii to prevent kinks. Pressure-test the system before full operation.
Q: What factors determine the lifespan of flexible metal tubing?
A: Material quality, environmental exposure (e.g., chemicals or saltwater), and operational stress (pressure/temperature cycles) are critical. Stainless steel variants typically outlast copper in harsh conditions. Regular inspections for wear or corrosion extend usability.
