TUBE CUTTING

TUBE CUTTING

Use only a tube cutter; hacksawing or any other method will introduce chips to the system and also distort the tube, making connections difficult and leak-prone. A miniature cutter is essential for this work. CUT SLOWLY to avoid a ridge on the inside of the tube. We do not recommend reaming or dressing the cut, as it is very easy to get chips of copper in the system that will cause trouble.

TUBE BENDING

Make all but the long sweep bends with a spring bender; one kink and the line must be rerun. Don't add any more fittings than are absolutely necessary. Route all the lines in such a way that they are most direct but out of the way. Always leave several inches of straight undistorted tubing leading to all Swagelok fittings to allow proper connection.

Again, keep everything sealed until you are ready to make that connection.

FIT RFD LAST

The RFD (receiver, filter, drier) should be the last component to be unpacked and fitted.

INSTALLING THE DC 5000 COMPRESSOR UNIT
