Joinability and Ease of Fabrication: 

Since Stainless Steel solar pipes are flexible, they are much easier to work with. All the installer has to do is to open the box, uncoil the piping and then start snacking it through the building.

Pre insulated solar hose only requires 1 step to finish the Solar Water Heater Pipe Installation. The system is light weight and space saving, which is easy to handle, even in confined spaces.

Unlike Copper Coils, changing directions with Stainless Pipes does not required any Cutting, welding, brazing or special tools (such as pipe Bender, etc...).

Friction Loss:

This product has a great place in systems whose pump flow rates are small if you used the 3/4 inch sized stainless steel product. On the one hand, the 1/2 inch SS Pipe has about four to five time the head loss of smooth copper pipe of the same size. On the other hand SS Pipe has less short radius elbows. That's why we don't recommend using the 1/2 Inch pipe size for applications having more than one Vacuum Tube Collector.
