Installation and installation of climatic equipment, as a rule, are carried out by specialized services. Therefore, the majority of consumers do not have a question “where to buy components for an air conditioner?”. If the owners of the equipment want to save money on installation, they will have to purchase everything they need on their own.
A set of accessories for the installation of air conditioners
- copper pipe;
- copper fittings (sometimes you can do without them);
- insulation for freon lines;
- drainage tube;
- brackets;
- visor (at the request of the owner).
Copper pipe for air conditioners is used only from purified, deoxidized high-fluoride copper.
The percentage of pure metal in this air conditioner fitting is 99.9. The tube must be annealed to give it flexibility. The diameter of the tube is selected depending on the model of the air conditioner, the minimum inner diameter is 3.18 mm. The wall thickness varies depending on the diameter.
The pipe is sold in coils, and for private buyers by running meters.
Copper fittings or gussets are used to secure 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, they use corners.

The affordable price makes them the most popular among private consumers. PPE tubes are sold for running meters. For ease of measurement, the footage is marked on the pipe surface.
There is also a more expensive type of accessories for air conditioners - synthetic rubber thermal insulation. It can withstand temperature drops from -40 to +116 degrees Celsius. Rubber also has noise-canceling properties. High performance characteristics make rubber pipes one of the most demanded on the market.
Tubes are produced with internal diameters from 6 mm, wall thickness can be 6 - 19 mm. These accessories for air conditioners are sold individually, the length of one piece is 2 meters.
Teflon tape is required to protect the surface of the rubber tubes from UV exposure.
The tape is sold in rolls of 30 meters, the width of the tape is 5 cm. On one side it is covered with a sticky layer, which facilitates installation.
