Refrigerant Piping - Brazing Procedures
1
CUT AND DEBUR
Cut ends of the refrigerant lines square (free from nicks or dents)
and debur the ends. The pipe must remain round. Do not crimp end
of the line.

ATTACH THE MANIFOLD GAUGE SET FOR BRAZING LIQUID AND VAPOR LINE SERVICE VALVES
Flow regulated nitrogen (at 1 to 2 psig) through the low-side refrigeration gauge set into the liquid line service port valve, and out of the
vapor line service port valve.
A - Connect gauge set low pressure side to
liquid line service valve (service port).
B - Connect gauge set center port to bottle of
nitrogen with regulator.
C - Remove core from valve in vapor line
service port to allow nitrogen to escape.
VAPOR SERVICE PORT MUST BE OPEN
TO ALLOW EXIT POINT FOR NITROGEN
INDOOR
Use a manifold gauge set designed for use on R-410A
refrigerant systems.
Before brazing, ensure the system is fully
recovered of all refrigerant. Application of a
brazing torch to a pressurized system may
result in ignition of the refrigerant and oil
mixture. Check the high and low pressures
before applying heat.

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
