Robertshaw 11-191 Aluminum Tubing

The Robertshaw 11-191 Aluminum Tubing is a critical component for technicians performing pilot line replacements or gas manifold repairs. This 1/8" OD aluminum tubing features a wall thickness of .025" and comes in a 50-foot coil, providing sufficient length for multiple service calls. Specifically engineered for HVAC pilot burner connections and gas valve manifolding, this tubing is compatible with natural gas and LP applications. The high-grade aluminum construction allows for easy bending and flaring without work-hardening, ensuring a leak-proof seal at the compression fittings. It is essential to use a dedicated tubing cutter to prevent constriction of the gas pilot line. This flexible aluminum gas line is designed to meet standard pressure ratings for residential and commercial heating equipment, providing a reliable alternative to standard copper when corrosive combustion byproducts are a concern. Use this HVAC part to restore system integrity and maintain proper pilot flame stability.

• Corrosion Resistance: High-grade aluminum alloy resists oxidation in demanding mechanical rooms.
• Easy Fabrication: Maintains structural integrity during tight-radius bending for compact gas valve compartments.
• Universal Application: Standard 1/8-inch sizing fits most pilot assemblies and thermopile setups.
• Clean Internal Bore: Reduced risk of particulate clogs that can cause pilot outages.

Can this tubing be used for refrigerant discharge lines?
No, this aluminum tubing is specifically rated for low-pressure gas pilot line applications and is not suitable for high-pressure HVAC refrigeration systems.

Does this tubing require special flaring tools?
Standard 45-degree flaring tools or 1/8" compression sleeves are typically used, provided they are compatible with aluminum materials to prevent galvanic corrosion.

Is this tubing suitable for outdoor installations?
While aluminum is naturally resistant to atmospheric corrosion, any installation must comply with local mechanical codes regarding exposed gas lines.
