1" stainless steel corrugated tubing
Item Description
Flexible Stainless steel tubing is a must have for any solar installation. It is highly resistant to corrosion and heat loss. Traditional copper piping loses heat 20 times faster than that of stainless steel tubing due to the much lower heat conductivity of stainless steel, resulting in higher efficiency for solar systems using stainless steel tubing.
The greatest advantage to stainless steel tubing is it is flexible, so no additional fittings are required such as elbows to get from the solar tank to the collector on the roof. The one run of tubing saves trips to the hardware store and makes installations much faster due to no need for a torch and solder. Propylene glycol, commonly used in solar systems also causes problems with solder, so working on a piping system for a solar loop is no picnic with copper. Stainless steel tubing allows for a quick and easy removal with no need for any additional tools.
When ordering tubing installed with fittings, if you want to have several pieces made, please specify the lengths for the corresponding fittings purchased in the order comments during checkout.
