Figure 18. Brazing Connections
Brazing Connections
Use the following procedure to braze the line set to the new
air conditioner unit. Figure 18 is provided as a general
guide for preparing to braze the line set to the air
conditioner unit.
CAUTION
Brazing alloys and flux contain materials which are
hazardous to your health.
Avoid breathing vapors or fumes from brazing
operations. Perform operations only in well
ventilated areas.
Wear gloves and protective goggles or face shield
to protect against burns.
Wash hands with soap and water after handling
brazing alloys and flux.
WARNING
Danger of fire. Bleeding the
refrigerant charge from only the high
side may result in the low side shell
and suction tubing being
pressurized. Application of a brazing
torch while pressurized may result in
ignition of the refrigerant and oil
mixture − check the high and low
pressures before un−brazing.
WARNING
When using a high pressure gas such
as dry nitrogen to pressurize a
refrigeration or air conditioning
system, use a regulator that can
control the pressure down to 1 or 2
psig (6.9 to 13.8 kPa).
