R-410A Copper Line Sizing
When selecting pipe diameter and material for piping
R-410A systems such as used with QCC2 chillers, it is
recommended that ASTM B280 material, type “L” or
“K” is used. According to ASME Standard B31.5-2006
(table 502.3.1), ASTM B280 copper does not require a
derate when brazed. By comparison, ASTM B88 ma-
terial does take an annealing penalty when brazing,
which in some applications, could reduce the calcu-
lated yield strength to a level below the system design.
QCC2 Line Sizing Notes
The QCC2 chiller has a maximum design working
pressure of 560 psig, a mechanical high pressure cut-
out to shut the unit OFF at 585 psig, and (the unit) is
rated at 650 psig. The maximum discharge pipe diam-
eter used on QCC2 is 2 1/8 in.

ASTM B280, type “L” pipe, 2 1/8 in. diameter has a
pressure rating of 608 psi per ASME B31.5-2006 sec-
tion 504.1.2, with an additional 20% increase allowed in
section 502.2.3 “Ratings: Allowance for Variations from
Normal Operation” for a maximum allowable pressure of
730 psi.
Type “K” pipe (thicker wall), per ASME B31.5-2006
section 504.1.2, has a rating of 725 psi before the ad-
ditional 20% allowance is taken.

“ASHRAE Refrigeration
Handbook, Chapter 2” and YORK DX Piping Guide
