Tightfit

General

Are Tightfit joints reusable?

No, Tightfit joints are not reusable. Once inserted into piping and tightened (even partially), it cannot be removed to be reused.

Why do different sizes of Tightfit have different internal constructions?

The main reason for this is to keep tightening torque at a reasonable level. As pipe size increases, wall thickness also increases, resulting in an increase in tightening torque and decreasing the workability of Tightfit. Hence, the sealing methods have to change according to the pipe sizes, resulting with different internal constructions.

Why does SDGTB12 have a stainless steel insert?

The primary seal for this Tightfit joint is a metal seal. Since the wall thickness of copper piping with a diameter of Ø12.7 is the same as that of copper piping with a diameter of Ø9.52, the stainless steel insert is needed to reinforce the copper pipe from the inside, ensuring the formation of a proper metal seal.

Is using Tightfit more costly than conventional brazing installations?

No, Tightfit and brazing are comparable in pricing. Assessing Tightfit based solely on the project's material list may give the perception that it is more expensive than brazing. However, factoring in the time saved from not needing to apply for hot work permits, the reduced man-hours required for piping installation, and the costs of brazing materials and connection parts, it all adds up to a pricing structure similar to that of Tightfit.

Is Tightfit a green product?

Yes, Tightfit is a fireless joint, eliminating the need for brazing and, consequently, the emissions associated with brazing throughout a project. This method also eliminates the necessity of transporting bulky brazing equipment, further reducing emissions. Moreover, Tightfit ensures a leak-free joint when installed correctly, preventing any refrigerant leaks from the piping system.

Does Tightfit have a complete lineup for VRV installation?

Yes, with the introduction of the KMJ series, the expanded lineup of Tightfit ensures that a full braze free and fireless solution is available for seamless integration in nearly all VRV installation projects.

Why are there only 3 sizes of elbow Tightfit joints?

Copper pancake coils are typically utilized for smaller-sized copper pipes (Ø6.35 to Ø19.05), are easily bendable, eliminating the need for elbow joints in this range. Consequently, elbow joints are only needed for larger diameter (≥Ø22.22) ridgid copper pipes.

Is there a full braze free solution for VRV installation?

Yes, with the introduction of Tightfit compatible refnet joints (BHRG refnet), a full braze free solution is available.

Installation

How do you ensure leak free installation of Tightfit joints?

The best way to ensure a leak free installation is to read through the installation manual, taking note of all the precautions and warnings before installing Tightfit. However, the following are some of the main precautions that should be taken to ensure leak free installation:

1. When removing insulation material (of copper pipe), cut in a cylindrical direction and not lengthwise. Lengthwise gashes on the pipe will cause refrigerant leakage.
2. After cutting, chamfer the outside and inside of the pipe. Insufficient chamfering can damage the O-ring, resulting in leakage.
3. During installation of Tightfit joints, use the marking gauge to mark the pipe. Ensure that the mark is no longer visible after insertion.
4. Tighten the nut until the green indicator is no longer visible. Utilize the marking gauge to confirm that the 'T' or 'L' shaped mark falls entirely within the notch.

Which size of insulation should be used for each Tightfit?

ROHOZ insulation is specifially designed for standard and asymmetrical Tightfit models ranging from size 06 to 28. The following outlines the Tightfit sizes compatible with each ROHOZ model:

ROHOZ06 -> Ø6.35, Ø9.52
ROHOZ12 -> Ø12.70, Ø15.88
ROHOZ19 -> Ø19.05, Ø22.22
ROHOZ25 -> Ø25.40, Ø28.59

For asymmetrical Tightfit models, use the insulation that fits the largest size joint size. For example, for SDGTB1915, use ROHOZ19.
