Robertshaw 11-195 Aluminum Tubing
The Robertshaw 11-195 is a professional-grade 3/8-inch OD aluminum tubing designed for reliable field service in gas-fired equipment, instrumentation lines, and general HVACR applications. Engineered from 1435 aluminum alloy with a precise 0.035-inch wall thickness, this 50-foot roll offers the ideal balance of ductility for easy bending and high tensile strength to prevent kinks or failures under pressure. This tubing meets the strict ASTM B483 standard for drawn aluminum, ensuring it stands up to the demands of pilot burner lines and gas control systems without early oxidation or fatigue. Rated for a working pressure of 90 PSI, it handles diverse pneumatic and fluid transfer tasks where a lightweight, corrosion-resistant alternative to copper is required. For technicians performing HVAC pilot line replacement or installing custom instrumentation, the 11-195 provides a consistent 3/8" diameter and 11,000 PSI tensile strength to ensure secure connections and system integrity in both residential and commercial settings.
Key Benefits for Contractors- Industrial-Grade Alloy: Fabricated from 1435 aluminum to simplify HVAC aluminum tubing bending while maintaining structural rigidity.
- ASTM B483 Compliance: Meets universal industry standards for generic aluminum tubing for gas lines and service applications.
- High Tensile Durability: Features an 11,000 PSI tensile and 9,500 PSI yield strength to withstand vibration and mechanical stress.
- Corrosion Resistance: Natural 3/8-inch aluminum pipe properties protect against harsh environmental conditions better than standard steel.
- Efficient Bulk Length: The 50-foot coil allows for continuous runs, reducing the need for leak-prone couplings in long instrumentation stretches.
Is this tubing compatible with standard compression fittings?
Yes. This 3/8" OD tubing is designed to work seamlessly with 3/8" brass or aluminum compression sleeves and nuts typically found in HVAC pilot line kits.
Can the Robertshaw 11-195 be used for refrigerant lines?
While rated for 90 PSI and durable for oil and gas pilot lines, always verify the specific pressure and chemical compatibility requirements of the refrigerant being used before installation in a closed-loop refrigeration circuit.
How does this perform in high-heat areas near pilot burners?
The 1435 alloy used in this Robertshaw aluminum tubing is specifically selected for its stability and performance in the heat zones associated with pilot burner assemblies and gas manifolds.
