ATTENTION Property damage possible.
Improperly	installed	pipes	can	cause	cracks	and	tears	which	can	
result in a loss of refrigerant.
INFO
Proper layout of the suction and pressure lines directly after 
the compressor is integral to the smooth running and vibration 
 behaviour of the system.
Material soldering / welding connection: S235 (JRG2C)
The
pipe connections have graduated inside diameters so that pipes with
standart millimetre and inch dimensions can be used.
The connection diameters of the shut-off valves are rated for maximum
compressor output.
The actual required pipe cross section must be
matched to the output. The same applies for non-return valves.

4.9 Connecting the pipelines - solder system
ATTENTION Property damage possible.
Remove the valve from the compressor for soldering. Superhea-
ting can damage the valve. Cool the valve body during soldering.
Only solder using inert gas to inhibit oxidation products (scale).
