2. Brazing
WARNING
1. R-134a and R-404A themselves are not flammable at atmospheric pressure
and temperatures up to 176°F (80°C).
2. R-134a and R-404A themselves are not explosive or poisonous. However,
when exposed to high temperatures (open flames), R-134a and R-404A can
be decomposed to form hydrofluoric acid and carbonyl fluoride both of which
are hazardous.

or R-404A as a mixture with pressurized air for leak testing.
1) Braze all fittings while purging with nitrogen gas flowing at a pressure of 3 to 4 PSIG.
CAUTION
1. Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is
opened.
2. Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has been
made. Install the new drier with the arrow on the drier in the direction of the
refrigerant flow.

3. When brazing, protect the drier by using a wet cloth to prevent the drier from
overheating. Do not allow the drier to exceed 250°F (121°C).

3. Evacuation and Recharge
1) Attach a vacuum pump to the system. Be sure the charging hoses are connected to both
high and low-side access valves.
IMPORTANT
The vacuum level and vacuum pump may be the same as those for current
refrigerants. However, the rubber hose and gauge manifold to be used for
evacuation and refrigerant charge should be exclusively for POE oils.
refrigerants. However, the rubber hose and gauge manifold to be used for
evacuation and refrigerant charge should be exclusively for POE oils.
2) Turn on the vacuum pump. Open the gauge manifold valves. Never allow the oil in the
vacuum pump to flow backwards.
3) Allow the vacuum pump to pull down to a 29.9" Hg vacuum. Evacuating period depends
on pump capacity.
