NDL Industries was founded in 1987 in Vancouver, British Columbia, initially operating as a consulting business serving the refrigeration industry. The company pivoted into manufacturing in 1998 to meet demand for higher performing ACR copper fittings, and it has continued to expand its product range around that core fittings business since.
Product Lines
NDL Industries manufactures components for HVAC-R, CO2 refrigeration, and hydronics applications, with ACR copper fittings forming the core of its catalog. The lineup also includes refrigeration ball valves, filter driers, gas flex connectors, and a range of copper and brass fittings used across refrigeration and piping installations.
Why Contractors Specify NDL
Refrigeration technicians and mechanical contractors specify NDL fittings and components when a job calls for parts built specifically around ACR copper fitting standards rather than general purpose plumbing fittings. Because the company maintains distribution centers across the United States, Canada, and England, contractors working on cross border or multi region projects can often source consistent NDL part numbers regardless of location. The company's roots in refrigeration consulting before it began manufacturing also mean its fittings and valves are designed with the specific pressure and temperature demands of refrigeration systems in mind.
How to Choose NDL Products
Selecting the right NDL fitting starts with confirming the application, since refrigeration ball valves, filter driers, and gas flex connectors each serve a different function within a CO2 or standard refrigeration circuit. Matching fitting size and type to the existing copper or brass line is essential, particularly on retrofit jobs where line sizes may not follow current standard increments. For hydronics applications, confirming pressure and temperature ratings against system design conditions helps narrow the field to the correct NDL component.
