    [1] Storage of Piping Material (1) Storage location Store the pipes to be used indoors. (Warehouse at site or owner’s warehouse) Storing them outdoors may cause dirt, waste, or water to infiltrate. Pipe sealing before storage Both ends of the pipes should be sealed until immediately before brazing. Wrap elbows and T’s in plastic bags for storage.

However, the vapor specific gravity is heavier than the specific gravity of air, so if the refrigerant leaks out in a closed room, it remains on the bottom near the floor and there is danger of accidents occurring due to lack of oxygen, so always handle it in an atmosphere with good ventilation where the refrigerant won’t accumulate.
