V46 Series 2-Way Pressure-Actuated Water-Regulating Valves With Union Fittings Installation Instructions 3
• Avoid Contact Between the Capillary Tubing
and Sharp or Abrasive Objects
Vibration or rubbing of sharp or abrasive objects in
contact with capillary tubes can cause leaks.
• Coil and Secure Excess Capillary Tubing Away
from Contact with Sharp or Abrasive Objects
or Surfaces
Carefully loop any excess capillary tube into
smooth, circular coils (minimum 2 in. [5 cm]
diameter). Securely fasten the coiled capillary
tube.
• Do Not Overtighten Flare Nuts on Pressure
Connection Line Fittings
Overtightening flare connections may damage the
threads and result in refrigerant leaks. Do not
exceed 9 lb⋅ft (12 N⋅m) of torque when tightening
brass flare connections.
• Avoid Severe Pressure Pulsation at Pressure
Tap Points
Install pressure connection lines to pressure tap
points away from the compressor discharge, to
minimize the affects of pressure pulsation from
reciprocating compressors.
