Refrigeration Copper Pipes in Kenya
What are Refrigeration Copper Pipes?
Refrigeration copper pipes are specialized copper tubing designed for carrying refrigerants in cooling, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems. They are manufactured from high-quality, seamless copper, which ensures excellent thermal conductivity, durability, and resistance to corrosion. These pipes are widely used in both commercial and domestic refrigeration systems across Kenya due to their reliability and long service life.
At Kingsman Engineering & Industrial Insulation Ltd, we supply premium refrigeration copper pipes in Kenya, meeting international standards and suitable for all HVAC and refrigeration applications.
