Types of AC Lines

In the HVAC world, there are several different types of AC lines, and all of them have different applications. And, the secret to choosing your air conditioning lines is knowing the differences between those types. So, without further ado, here are just a few of the most common types of AC tubing, and what you should be using them for:

  • Poly Tubing: otherwise known as polyethylene AC lines, this material has several applications in and beyond the world of HVAC. However, it is most often used for transporting water and other non-acidic liquids. It can also be used to transport gasses, and is known to be highly resistant to heat, moisture, and other common stressors. This is, perhaps, one of the most ubiquitous forms of AC lines in HVAC, and you most likely will be using it at one time or another.
  • Copper Tubing: copper tubing is often used for cold and hot water supply taps, as well as refrigerant lines within HVAC systems. In many cases, poly and copper AC lines can be used interchangeably; however, only copper tubing should be used for refrigerant lines, and it is also more expensive. Keep this in mind when purchasing copper air conditioning tubing.
  • Insulated AC Lines: also used for refrigerant lines, an insulated line set shares many properties with copper AC tubing and can be used interchangeably.

All in all, these types of AC lines are very similar; but, there are very important differences you need to understand. Learn them, and make sure you get the right type for the job you are currently working on.

AC Line Sizing

Another important part of choosing your piping is the sizing of the line, as most air conditioning lines comes in different diameters. So, an important question to answer is how to know which sizing you should use. The answer? Honestly, it depends. Most applications for tubing will have openings that define which size tubing you should use, but not all will; it is up to you to make the measurements and find out precisely how wide/large the AC lines should be.
