Primary material: Drawn brass EN 12164, Forged brass EN 12165, Copper grade Cu-DHP EN 12735-1
Standard and regulation reference: PED 97/23/CE, RoHS 2002/95/CE, REACH Reg. 1907/2006, EN378-2:2008, SAE-FIT, SAE 45° J513-92, FTP ASME B1.1-89, NPT ANSI B.1.20.1, BSP GAS ISO 228, BS 84
Refrigerant: Meant to be used in air-conditioners and refrigerating units that work with refrigerant proper to the group II Article 9, 2.2 of the PED Directive 97/23/CE, referring to the Directive 67/548/CEE. ( i.e. tested with the following: R12, R22, R134a, R404a, R407c, R410a, R502, R507 )
Pe Giovanni flareless tube fittings have been developed to substitute soldering and flaring operations in air-conditioning and refrigeration applications, as recommended by the EN 378-2:2008 chap. 6.2.3.2:
- No soldered joint make it a reliable solution where soldering is difficult or impossible
- Reduced chance of assembly error, thanks to its geometry the ferrule can be installed only one way
- The easy assembly procedure is the same for all sizes and tube wall thicknesses: 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 wrench turns

Pe Giovanni flareless tube fittings are manufactured to the highest quality standards to assure a tight joint every time and are very easy to assembly (it’s needed just a wrench). Pe Giovanni flareless tube fittings reduce installation costs and are compatible with SAE Flare male connection, valve and fittings. They have successfully passed tests conducted by accredited third party laboratories against the following:
- external leakage, tested with pressurized Helium in a vacuum chamber
- pressure burst test, applying a security factor higher than 5
- vibration resistance, tested for 10 Mio cycles at 50 Hz
- corrosion cracking resistance, tested in ammonia environment
