WARNING
Many of the chemicals used while soldering are toxic. Avoid prolonged exposure to
fumes. Wear rubber gloves and eye protection. Failure to wear proper protective
clothing may result in skin irritation and/or serious eye injury. Wash hands with soap
and water after handling solder. If inhaled, move soldier to fresh air and seek medical
attention. If contact with skin or eyes is made, flush with clean water and seek
medical attention. Failure to observe this warning may result in serious injury to
personnel.
CAUTION
Use care when soldering and desoldering components into the system so as not to
overheat the component being soldered, or surrounding components. Wrapping the
component to be soldered in wet rags will act as a heat sink and minimize exposure
to heat.
NOTE
Due to the difficulty in getting a torch on the bottom end of the vibrasorber, the
discharge service valve will be cut out of the unit at a point between the outlet portion
of the valve and the 90-degree bend in the tube. The tube is then desoldered from
the valve, and reused on the new installation. When installing a new valve, the pipe
will be soldered to the new valve, and that assembly will be soldered into the unit with
a coupling.
6. Cut tube (Figure 1, Item 5) leading from discharge service valve (Figure 1, Item 3) at location (Figure 1, Item 6)
approximately halfway between discharge tube outlet and 90-degree bend.
7. Remove discharge service valve (Figure 1, Item 3) and gasket from compressor (Figure 1, Item 7). Discard
gasket.
8. Measure and record length of tube (Figure 1, Item 6) remaining on discharge service valve (Figure 1, Item 3)
after cut for use on new valve assembly.
9. Remove elbow fitting (Figure 1, Item 8) from discharge service valve (Figure 1, Item 3). Retain fitting for
reinstallation.
10. Measure appropriate length and cut tube (Figure 2, Item 5) on new discharge service valve (Figure 2, Item 3)
assembly at same location (Figure 2, Item 6) as removed valve.
