3ATTACH THE MANIFOLD GAUGE SET FOR BRAZING LIQUID AND SUCTION / VAPOR LINE SERVICE VALVES
Flow regulated nitrogen (at 1 to 2 psig) through the low−side refrigeration gauge set into the liquid line service port valve, and out of the suction / vapor line service port valve.
AConnect gauge set low pressure side to liquid line service valve (service port).
BConnect gauge set center port to bottle of nitrogen with regulator.

WARNING
When using a high pressure gas such as dry nitrogen to pressurize a refrigeration or air conditioning system, use a regulator that can control the pressure down to 1 or 2 psig (6.9 to 13.8 kPa).
