Brazing Connections
Connect vapor tube to fitting on outdoor unit vapor service valves (see
). Connect liquid tubing to adapter tube on liquid service valve.
Use refrigerant grade tubing.
Notes
:
1.Do not apply capillary tube indoor coils to these units.
2.For Tubing Set lengths between 80 and 200 ft. (24.38 and 60.96 m) horizontal or
20 ft. (6.1 m) vertical differential, refer to the Residential Piping and Longline
Guideline.
Apply heat absorbing paste or heat sink product between service valve
and joint. Wrap service valves with a heat sinking material such as a wet
cloth.
After wrapping service valve with a wet cloth, tubing set can be brazed
to service valve using either silver bearing or non–silver bearing brazing
material. Do not use soft solder (materials which melt below
800°F/427°C). Consult local code requirements.
NOTE:
Some outdoor units contain a mechanical fitting at the liquid
distributor. This connection is not field serviceable and should not be
disturbed.
NOTE:
For Liquid Service Valve - Braze lineset to adapter tube
BEFORE bolting adapter to valve. This helps prevent overheating and
damage to plastic washer or o-ring.
For Vapor Service Valve - remove valve core from schrader port on
Service Valve BEFORE brazing. This helps prevent overheating and
damage to valve seals (refer to
). Replace valve core when brazing
is completed.

Clean line set tube ends with emery cloth or steel brush. Remove any grit
or debris.
Insert line set tube ends into service valve tube stubs.
Apply heat absorbing paste or heat sink product between service valve
and joint. Wrap service valves with a heat sinking material such as a wet
cloth.
Braze joints using a Sil-Fos or Phos-copper alloy.
Install Liquid Line Filter Drier Indoor
Refer to
and install filter drier as follows:
1. Braze 5 in. (127 mm) liquid tube to the indoor coil.
2. Wrap filter drier with damp cloth.
3. Braze filter drier to 5 in. (127 mm) long liquid tube from step 1.
4. Connect and braze liquid refrigerant tube to the filter drier.

Refrigerant tubing and indoor coil are now ready for leak testing. This
check should include all field and factory joints.
WARNING
!
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to following this warning could result in personal injury, death
and/or property damage.
Refrigerant and oil mixture could ignite and burn as it escapes and
contacts brazing torch. Make sure the refrigerant charge is properly
removed from both the high and low sides of the system before brazing
any component or lines.
