Appendix A Cutting and Soldering
A.3
Cutting the Transmission Line
A square smooth cut is required. Several methods may be used with the choice
depending on tools and labor available.
a.
METHOD #1. A hand hack saw and cast iron cutting guide are a good combina-
tion for making a cut with a minimum of tools for one or two pieces, but can be
very labor intensive for putting up an entire system. See Figure A-4.
b.
METHOD #2. Hand Band Saw. These popular saws can be rented or purchased.
See Figure A-5.
c.
METHOD #3. Swing Arm Band Saw. This is a good way to go if one can be
rented or borrowed. Many pipe fitters and electrical contractors own them. If the
saw has an automatic feed, cut slowly. It is critical that the support saw horses be
made level with the saw. Test cuts should first be made using scrap pipe or a
wood 4x4 to verify that the blade is not creeping and the saw is in alignment. See
Figure A-6.
!
CAUTION:
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE VISE USED WITH THESE SAWS. IT WILL BE
DIFFICULT TO PUT THE FLANGE ON AN OUT OF ROUND PIPE.
d.
METHOD #4. Tubing Cutter. This is generally not recommended. Many cuts end
up with crimped ends due to dull cutters or trying to cut too fast. Use with cau-
tion. Avoid if possible unless someone is available that has had a lot of experi-
ence using a tubing cutter on this type of installation. See Figure A-7.
e.
METHOD #5. Cut Off Saw. These saws are similar to radial arm saws. It is rare
to find one big enough to cut 6-1/8" line. The set up is similar to the swing arm
band saw. See Figure A-6.
A.4
Soldering Transmission Line Flanges
Transmission line flanges that are supplied with the optional transmission line kit are
the silver solder type. Although the attachment of this type of flange may require more
care and skill than the soft solder type, it has been found that the silver soldered flange
provides much greater reliability. The services of a steam fitter or plumber may be
helpful if personnel are not available that are experienced with silver soldering.
