Flow
Brazing Instructions
1. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE
2. WRAP THE BODY OF THE VALVE WITH A WET RAG (to dissipate heat – overheating
causes damage).
3. With the valve in the open position, bleed dry nitrogen or CO2 through the valve while brazing (to reduce
carbon formation internally).
4. Use flux with silver brazing alloys, flow temperature 1100°F / 1300°F (593°C / 704°C).
5. Flux is not required with phoscopper alloys, flow temperature 1300°F / 1500°F (704°C / 815°C), on copper
to copper joints, but flux is recommended for deeper penetration and more uniform results with all alloys.
6. Use a large enough torch to rapidly heat joint to brazing temperature. Direct flame away from existing
copper to brass joints.
7. Quench to reduce heat spread after brazing. INSTALL VALVE CORE ONCE VALVE BODY IS
COOLED FROM BRAZING.
Operating Notes
1. Rotate flats on swivel type seal cap using adjustable wrench. Turn 90° against the mechanical stops.
Align open arrow with refrigerant line for non-directional flow. Turn clock-wise to close.
2. This valve contains mechanical stops. DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE AGAINST STOPS OR
PERMANENT DAMAGE MAY OCCUR.
PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT DISASSEMBLE VALVE FOR ANY REASON. CONTACT FACTORY FOR
DISPOSITION.
For use with CFC, HFC and HCFC Refrigerants listed in CAN/CSA B52 and ANSI/ASHRAE 15 Section 9.2 where
the saturation vapor pressure is 125°F (high side) and 80°F (low side) is less than the maximum design working pressure.
After charging, mark unit with refrigerant type and oil type.
