8) Braze all fittings while purging with nitrogen gas flowing at a pressure of 3 to 4 PSIG.

Always protect the valve body by using a damp cloth to prevent the valve from 
overheating. Do not braze with the valve body exceeding 50°F (°C).

9) Check for leaks using nitrogen gas (40 PSIG) and soap bubbles.

0) Evacuate the system, and charge it with refrigerant. For air-cooled and water-cooled
