Description
Tired of leaking flare fittings – the INOAC Conic Joint is here.
The INOAC Conic Joint is a certified mechanical fitting engineered to simplify and strengthen the connection between copper or aluminium pipes in AC/R systems.
Designed with reliability and practicality in mind, this flareless joint system eliminates the need for traditional flaring tools, reduces installation time, and enhances long-term system reliability. Whether you’re working on residential air conditioning units or large-scale commercial systems, the Conic Joint is the easy alternative to flares.
Key Features
- Flareless Design: Say goodbye to complex flaring procedures. The Conic Joint uses a two-step tightening mechanism that ensures a secure, leak-free connection without the need for specialized tools or flaring equipment.
- Double O-Ring Seal: Engineered for high-pressure environments, the dual O-ring system provides superior sealing performance—rated up to 625 psi —offering peace of mind against refrigerant leaks.
- Universal Compatibility: Designed to connect both copper and aluminum pipes, the Conic Joint is ideal for hybrid systems and retrofit applications.
- Corrosion Resistance: The joint’s innovative design mitigates galvanic corrosion, a common issue when connecting dissimilar metals, ensuring long-term durability.
- Tool-Free Simplicity: Installation requires only a standard wrench and tightener—no heavy-duty tools or advanced training needed.
- Cost Efficiency: By enabling the use of aluminium tubing, which is lighter and more affordable than copper, the Conic Joint offers significant material and labour savings.
Applications
- Residential and commercial HVAC systems
- Split-type and multi-split air conditioners
- Refrigeration units
- Retrofitting and system upgrades
- OEM manufacturing
Installation Process
- Cut and Deburr: Ensure the pipe ends are clean and free of burrs.
- Insert and Align: Slide the Conic Joint over the pipe ends.
- Tighten: Use a wrench and tightener to secure the joint in place. The dual O-ring compresses to form a leak-proof seal.
- Test: Pressurize the system and check for leaks—no flare, no fuss.
Why Choose the INOAC Conic Joint?
- Speed and Simplicity
Traditional flare fittings require precise flaring, deburring, and torque control—often demanding specialized tools and experienced technicians. The Conic Joint eliminates these steps. With its intuitive two-step tightening process, even less experienced installers can achieve a secure, professional-grade connection in minutes. - Leak Prevention You Can Trust
The dual O-ring system, combined with a metal seal backup, ensures a robust seal that withstands high pressures and temperature fluctuations. This makes the Conic Joint ideal for modern refrigerants like R410A and R32, which operate at higher pressures than legacy systems. - Aluminium-Ready
Aluminium tubing is gaining popularity due to its lightweight nature and cost advantages. However, flaring aluminium is notoriously difficult due to its softness. The Conic Joint solves this by eliminating the need for flaring altogether, making aluminium a viable and reliable option for HVAC installations. - Corrosion Control
When copper and aluminium are joined using traditional fittings, galvanic corrosion can occur—leading to leaks and system failure. The Conic Joint’s design includes a water-stop function and corrosion-resistant materials that prevent this electrochemical reaction, extending the life of your system. - Versatile and Scalable
Available in multiple sizes (CJ-06, CJ-09, CJ-12, CJ-15), the Conic Joint supports a wide range of pipe diameters and system configurations. Whether you’re installing a compact residential unit or a large commercial HVAC system, there’s a Conic Joint to match your needs.
