IoR copper guide
for refrigerant pipework
T
he Institute of Refrigeration (IoR) service engineers’ section
has produced a guide to copper pipework support and
routing, which is now available for free download.
This bulletin provides guidance on pipework support methods
for copper pipework that is designed to contain refrigerant in air
conditioning, heat pump, or refrigeration applications.
Before any components are fitted into a system, it is important
that the installer understands where the components should be
fitted within the system, the correct methods to be used to fit
them, and the correct orientation for satisfactory operation, as
this will all influence the routing and support of piping.
This two-page guide, entitled ‘Copper pipework support
and routing’ was uploaded in January 2017 as part of the
international association’s Good Practice Guide.

Three new outlets for
In the past 12 months, TecsaReco has opened
three new express outlets: in Midrand, Pretoria
East, and Upington.
The idea behind these ‘express’ outlets is to have the emergency spares
needed for urgent repairs as close to its customers as possible.
With traffic becoming more of an issue in the larger cities such as
Midrand and Pretoria East, these outlets enable technicians to spend
less time behind the wheel of their bakkie and more time on repairs.
Upington is an area long overdue for better support.
All the fast-moving commercial refrigeration lines, as well as TecsaReco’s
hugely successful TCL brand of air conditioning, are carried in each of the
new branches.
Larger engineered products can be ordered from these outlets for des-
patch from the company’s larger branches.
The newly opened Upington branch.
This is just another example of how TecsaReco provides solutions.
