▪ Do NOT use anti-oxidants when brazing pipe joints.
Residue can clog pipes and break equipment.
▪ Do NOT use flux when brazing copper-to-copper refrigerant piping. Use phosphor
copper brazing filler alloy (BCuP), which does not require flux.
Flux has an extremely harmful influence on refrigerant piping systems. For
instance, if chlorine based flux is used, it will cause pipe corrosion or, in
particular, if the flux contains fluorine, it will deteriorate the refrigerant oil.
▪ Always protect the surrounding surfaces (e.g. insulation foam) from heat when
brazing.
Take the following guidelines into account:
▪ Make sure to keep all stop valves open during operation.
▪ The gas and liquid stop valves are factory closed.
▪ The figures below show the name of each part required in handling the stop
valve.
