4.3 Tubing Connections
Precautions:
Fluid lines should be unobstructed without any hard bends in the run.
Support the weight of the lines accordingly.
Install the ball valve at the outlet port.
Tubing insulation is pre-installed.
Connect the inlet to the lowest point, and the outlet to the highest point of the chiller.
If additional tubing length is needed. You must insulate the tubing or performance loss will occur.
Insulate any exposed jackets or performance loss will occur.
Do not restrict the flow without using a bypass. Loss of performance will occur.
PTFE gaskets will require high pressure tri-clamps to work properly.
(we will replace PTFE gaskets with Buna gaskets, contact us if you have received PTFE)
Fittings Installation:
Before installing adapters and fittings. Verify all included parts have been received. Begin by wrapping the end
of the NPT threads with PTFE tape. Tape the end of the fitting (green) not in the center (red). Thread tape
allows the male fitting to slip further into the female fitting. Sealing the combination. Wrap 4-5 times per fitting
