Pipe connection
Cover the end of the pipe appropriately when it is to be inserted
through holes in walls and roofs, etc.
Keep the ends of the pipes covered while other installation work is
being carried out to avoid the entry of dampness or dirt.
Do not place the pipes directly on the ground without appropriate
protection or adhesive vinyl tape to cover the ends.
Where the pipe installation is not completed for a certain amount of time, braze the ends of the pipe to seal. Then fill it with
oxygen-free nitrogen gas through a Schrader valve to avoid the accumulation of humidity and/or contamination through dirt.
N O T E
•
Where polyethylene foam insulation is used, a 10 mm thick layer should be used for the liquid pipe and between
15 and 20 mm for the gas pipe.
•
Install the insulation after the pipe surface temperature has dropped to the same temperature as that of the
room, otherwise the insulation may melt.
Do not use insulating material that contains NH
3
(ammonium), as it could damage the copper in the pipe and subsequently
cause leaks.
Where the fitter has supplied his own branches, these should be appropriately insulated to avoid decreases in capacity in
line with to environmental conditions and dew on the surface of the piping due to low pressure.
