USA: Daikin AC (Americas) Inc, the US subsidiary of the world's largest manufacturer of VRV equipment, has given official approval for the UK manufactured Reflok compression fittings to be used on its VRV systems.
The approval covers Reflok connectors and reducers when used with copper tubing, but approval for the aluminium tube, which created so much interest at the recent ACR Show, is expected soon.

An official statement from Daikin AC confirms that it has performed independent flow testing on the product with positive results. In addition, Daikin AC has met with Reflok to ensure product quality, ease of installation and a comprehensive training programme.

'As a result of the testing and meetings,' says the statement, 'Daikin AC now endorses the use of Reflok compression fittings, provided they are installed by a trained individual per Reflok's recommended instructions.'

'This is fantastic news and validation of many years of hard work and a lot of testing' said Jon Shipman, md of Reflok UK.
