-
Install the vibration absorber as close to the compressor or vibration source as possible.
-
Always install perpendicular to the major axis of vibration.
-
Anhor the refrigerant piping, as shown in the figure, at the end of the unit furthest from the vibration source.
-
Allow sufficient space for the unit so that it will not be subject to static compression or tension after brazing it into place.
-
Only install vibration absorbers in a straight line; they are not designed to compensate for offset piping.
-
If the unit is installed in an area where condensate can accumulate on it, cover the unit with a waterproof barrier (such as heat shrinkable PVC tubing or rubber tape) to prevent moisture from freezing under the braid and ferrule, causing the unit to rupture.
-
Although the copper tube ends of the unit are attached by high temperature brazing alloys having a melting point of 800 ℃, care should be exercised when making the sweat connections. Direct the torch flame away from the braid.
-
Clean excess flux from the unit to prevent possible corrosion and premature failure.
