Use Nitrogen gas when brazing the pipes as shownin the picture.2. If you do not use Nitrogen gas when brazing thepipes, oxide may form inside the pipe. It can causethe damage of the compressor, valves.3. Adjust the flow rate of the Nitrogen gas with apressure regulator to maintain 0.05m3/h or less.Direction of the pipe when brazing• Performing the brazing of the pipe should be headed downward or horizontally.Exposure place Exposure time Sealing typeOutside exposure Longer than one month Pipe pinchShorter than one month TapingInside exposure - TapingBrazing partNitrogen gas1/4" copper pipeStop valveTapingPressure regulatorFlowmeterDownward Side UpwardNote Avoid brazing the pipe upward.Outer diameter [mm] Minimum thickness [mm] Temper gradeØ6.35 0.7C1220T-OØ9.52 0.7Ø12.70 0.8Ø15.88 1.0Ø19.05 0.9C1220T-1/2HorC1220T-HØ22.23 0.9Ø25.40 1.0Ø28.58 1.1Ø31.75 1.1Ø38.10 1.35Ø44.45 1.6Ø50.80 2.0Make sure to use C1220T-1/2H (Semi-hard) pipe for more than Ø19.05mm.
