To help protect service valve seals during brazing, wrap water-saturated cloths around service valve bodies and copper tube stubs. Use
additional water-saturated cloths underneath the valve body to protect the base paint.

FLOW NITROGEN
Flow regulated nitrogen (at 1 to 2 psig) through the refrigeration gauge set into the valve stem port connection on the liquid service valve and
out of the suction valve stem port. See steps 3A, 3B and 3C on manifold gauge set connections.

BRAZE LINE SET

Wrap both service valves with water-saturated cloths as illustrated here and as mentioned in step 4, before brazing to line set. Cloths must
remain water-saturated throughout the brazing and cool-down process.
Allow braze joint to cool. Apply additional

water-saturated cloths to help cool brazed joint. Do not
remove water-saturated cloths until piping has cooled.
Temperatures above 250ºF will damage valve seals.

may result if you do not wrap a water-saturated cloth around
both liquid and suction line service valve bodies and copper
tube stub while brazing the line set! The braze, when
complete, must be quenched with water to absorb any
residual heat.
Do not open service valves until refrigerant lines and
indoor coil have been leak-tested and evacuated.
