Follow these procedures to make a tight joint:
1. Silver solder or braze condenser tubing ends to the female Rota-lock connectors.
2. Remove dust caps if used, making sure that component plastic seals are intact.
3. Wipe off connector and spud threaded surfaces with a clean cloth to prevent the inclusion
of dirt or any foreign material in the system.
4. Connector coupling nut should be screwed onto Rota-lock spud using the proper amount
of
torque.
