Brazing alloys and ux contain materials which are
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
protect against burns.
Wash hands with soap and water after handling brazing
alloys and ux.
CAUTION
To prevent the build-up of high levels of nitrogen when
purging, it must be done in a well-ventilated area.
Purge low-pressure nitrogen (1 to 2 psig) through
the refrigerant piping during brazing. This will help to
prevent oxidation and the introduction of moisture into
the system.
IMPORTANT
NOTE: Recommended line length is 50’ or less. If more
than 50’ line set is required, contact Blue Summit.
1. Route the suction and liquid lines from the ttings on
the indoor coil to the ttings on the outdoor unit. Run
the lines in a direct path, avoiding unnecessary turns
and bends.
2. Make sure that the suction line is insulated over the
entire exposed length and that neither suction nor
liquid lines are in direct contact with oors, walls, duct
system, oor joists, or other piping.
3. To avoid damaging the rubber grommets in the cabinet
while brazing, slide the rubber grommets over the
refrigerant lines until they are away from the heat
source.
NOTE: Place wet rags against piping plate and around
suction line connections.
4. Connect the suction and liquid lines to the evaporator
coil. Take care to protect the cabinet and internal
components as detailed in Figure 10.
5. Braze using an alloy of silver or copper and phosphorus
with a melting point above 1,100°F (593°C).
NOTE: Do not use soft solder.
6. Allow refrigerant pipes to cool to room temperature.
NOTE: Make sure to route copper refrigerant tubing
away from sharp edges and make sure that it does
not touch other metal surfaces. This prevents damage
caused by vibration or metal-on-metal contact.
7. Reinstall the rubber grommets into the refrigerant
piping panel.
NOTE: Make sure expansion valve capillary tube is
not touching metal edges or copper tubing.
8. Make sure outdoor unit has been placed according
to the Installation Instructions and is connected to the
refrigerant lines
