• Apply best practice methods and industry standards when you braze the access valve to the
evaporator outlet.
• Ensure that the access valve, evaporator outlet, and copper connectors are free of metal filings and
contaminants before brazing. Metal filings and contaminants can damage the PSHC and void the
warranty.
If you plan to apply pipe insulation on the section of evaporator outlet where the access valve is installed,
ensure that the extension tube on the access valve is long enough for the access valve to extend beyond
the insulation so that you can install the PSHC to the access valve. See Figure 12.

Important:
When you install the 1/4 in. SAE access valve, observe standard practices for brazing the
fitting to the evaporator outlet. Ensure that the installation is clean and free of metal shavings or
other contaminants. The presence of metal shavings or other contaminants can damage the PSHC
and void any warranty.
