Pipe Connectors
For more than 30 years now, Vulkan Lokring has produced solder-free tube connection technology for refrigerant lines. Originally developed for the absolute extreme conditions of space technology, these tube connections have been continually optimised for the purposes of refrigeration and air-conditioning systems.
Temperzone is proud to offer New Zealand’s most extensive range of Vulkan Lokring patented solder-free tube connections and equipment

Weld-Free. Leak-Free. Hassle Free:
Now perfect joins can be achieved with one of the world’s most economical and reliable methods of refrigerant tube connection. By eliminating welding, many overhead costs relating to safety, personnel, equipment and supplies, inspection rework, and monitoring can be eliminated or substantially reduced.
Durable:
Lokring’s stainless steel tube fittings are qualified to the requirements of the ANSI/ASME B31 pressure piping codes for pressure and fatigue design, and materials of construction. Extensive mechanical and environmental testing has demonstrated the mechanical and sealing integrity of the LOKRING connection in a wide range of applications and environmental conditions.
Quick, Easy Assembly:
A Lokring tube connection can be made without a great deal of effort. All you need is a Lokring tube connection, a hand assembly tool and some LOKPREP. The ergonomic hand assembly tool works without energy connection, and the patented lever mechanism means extremely little strength is needed for assembly. Compare it with conventional tube connection methods for yourself, and you will see that Lokring has the potential to become a classic.
Areas of Application:
Areas of application for Lokring's include all refrigerant pipes for installation, service and original equipping of:
- Air Conditioning Systems (split, multi-split, VRF, HVAC)
