Piping Works
Do not use contaminated or damaged copper tubing. Do not remove plastic, rubber plugs and brass nuts
from the valves, fi ttings, tubings and coils until you are ready to connect suction or liquid line into valves or
fi ttings.
If any brazing work is required, ensure that the nitrogen gas is passed through coil and joints while the
brazing work is being done. This will eliminate soot formation on the inside walls of the copper tubings.
Cut the connection pipe with a pipe cutter.

Remove burrs from cut edges of the pipes with remover. Hold the end of the pipe downwards to prevent
metal chips from entering the pipe.

The fl ared edge must be even and not cracked or scratched.
