UK: Mitsubishi Electric UK has approved the use of the Reflok mechanical jointing system on installations using their equipment.

Mitsubishi are said to have been working with the Reflok team for some months to assess the suitability of the system when used in conjunction with their equipment.

“The air conditioning supplier carried out tests for strength, durability and pressure which led to the conclusion that the system is suitable for use on air conditioning systems of all types,” said Reflok.

A Mitsubishi Electric UK spokesman said: “I can confirm that we have approved the use of the Reflok Jointing system on all of our AC products, with the caveat that with regards to the use and installation of said jointing system, it is at all times the responsibility of the user/installer of said system to make sure that it complies with the current F-gas Regulations.”
