Hey guys, I stumbled accross this forum by google search.
I am in Australia, and as far as I can see there doesn't appear to be a flexible hose available here that is suitable for r410a split systems.
Long story short, the split needs to be reasonably portable, but have the efficinac and reliability of a decent splitty.
Any way, I looked at products like spartaflex, etc, which all seem to be UK based, etc. I can't seem to get anything like it here.
So, I can get hydraulic hose, with correct size and flare nuts crimped up at a somewhat reasonable price. Obviously, I need to be certain the plastic used in the hose is compatible with r410a and its oil.
Does anyone have access to, or know for absolute certain what plastics ( nitrile, etc ) is compatible?
Thanks in advance,
Sparks
