Diversitech FRL12 Flexible Line Connector 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The DIVERSITECH FRL12 is a 1/2-inch flexible line connector designed for use in HVAC and refrigeration piping systems. Flexible line connectors serve as vibration-isolating connections between rigid copper or steel lines and equipment, helping to reduce transmitted vibration and allow for minor misalignment during installation. This connector is sold as a single unit and is sized at 1/2 inch, making it suited for common residential and light-commercial line set applications. HVAC technicians and plumbers are the primary trades that install this type of fitting.

This connector is appropriate for use in residential and light-commercial HVAC systems where a flexible connection is required at or near the equipment. Typical installation scenarios include connecting refrigerant lines or condensate lines to air handlers, condensing units, or other mechanical equipment where rigid piping connections would transmit excessive vibration or where slight positional variance needs to be accommodated. It is sold individually, allowing technicians to replace a single fitting as needed during service calls or new installations.

Key Features

• 1/2-inch size for common residential and light-commercial line applications
• Flexible construction accommodates minor positional variance and reduces vibration transmission
• Sold as a single unit for targeted replacement or installation use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement flexible line connector for 1/2-inch line connections in residential and light-commercial HVAC and refrigeration systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or qualified plumber following applicable local mechanical codes. Shut off and isolate the system, and relieve any line pressure before removing an existing connector or installing a new one. Avoid over-bending or kinking the flexible connector during installation, as this can restrict flow and reduce service life. Confirm that the connector size and connection type match the existing line before installation.
