Can I flare aluminum piping the same as I can for copper ?
Technically, you can flare aluminum piping. However, if you are installing a flare connection for an HVAC system, the flare at the equipment will probably be a brass fitting.
To avoid premature corrosion between aluminum and brass, we recommend using either a short section of copper pipe for the flare connection and connecting to the aluminum pipe with a Reflok connector.
An even better solution is to use our Reflok flare adapter that converts a standard flare connection to a leak-proof Reflok connection.
