Connections
Adjacent to Capillary Joints
When using Hep2O®
pipe or fittings adjacent to capillary joints it is preferable to
carry out the soldering work before the Hep2O®
is installed. If it is not possible to undertake the work in this
sequence then the following precautions should be observed: |
| DO |
 |
|
 |
Keep
flame or soldering irons away from Hep2O®.
|
| DON'T
|
 |
|
 |
Allow
flux to run onto Hep2O®.
Flux runs inside pipe may occur during soldering, this effect
can be reduced by not using excessive amounts of flux and by
applying flux to copper tube end only. |
|
Allow
hot solder to come into contact with Hep2O®.
|
|
| Trade
Tip: To prevent overheating of Hep2O®
by conduction of heat along copper pipe, where necessary, wrap
a damp cloth around copper pipe to minimise this effect. |
|
| Note:
Systems should be flushed with water to remove any internal
flux residues. |
