Use of the wrong fasteners or improper installation of fasteners can cause injury to people, damage to the equipment or both. For these reasons, a CIP Technician must know the capabilities of fasteners, be able to select the correct kind for the job and install them properly 85 Masonry and Hollow —Wall Anchors Anchors are devices used to give fasteners a firm grip in a variety of materials where the fasteners themselves would other wise has a tendency to pull out. Anchors can be divided into two broad categories: those used in solid masonry and those used in hollow walls and ceilings made from masonry and other materials ©) MASONRY SCREW Guidelines for Drilling Anchor Holes in Masonry When installing Anchors and / or anchor bolts in concrete, make sure the area where the equipment is to be located is smooth so that it will have a solid and level footing. Before starting, carefully inspect the rotary hammer drill and the drill bit to make sure they are the correct type and in good condition. Also set the drill or hammer tool depth gauge to the correct depth. DRILLING IN The key to using masonry drill bit is not to CONCRETE CREATES force them into the material. Use a little NOISE, DUST AND. pressure and let the drill do the work. For FLYING DEBRIS. large holes, start with a smaller bit , then ALWAYS WEAR THE PROPER PROTECTIVE change to a larger bit. EQUIPMENT!!! 87 Refrigerant Copper Piping/Tubing & Fittings Air conditioning and Refrigeration (ACR) copper pipe and fittings are manufactured specifically for use in refrigeration systems. ACR pipe is thoroughly cleaned, dried, capped and sometimes charged with nitrogen to help prevent contamination of the refrigeration system. The size of ACR pipe is expressed by its outside diameter while copper used for general plumbing is expressed in terms of its inside diameter. NEVER USE COPPER PIPING MADE FOR GENERAL PLUMBING}! ACR copper tubing is made in both soft and hard forms. Both are classified by their wall thickness. Type L (medium wall) is used under normal conditions. Type K (Heavy wall) is used where severe corrosion may occur The O.D. of both type is the same. The refrigerant line sizing chart given by CCAC are usually based on the use of a Type L piping. However, for inverters that uses the R410a refrigerant Type K piping is required (0.80mm thickness) Soft Copper Tubes Refrigerant Copper Piping/Tubing and Fittings Soft ACR Copper Tubing Soft ACR copper tubing made in sizes from 1/8-inch to 7/8-inch O.D. and supplied in 50 foot rolls is typically used in air conditioning installations. Because of its length, soft copper tubing needs fewer connections, reducing the chance of leaks. It is easily bent or shaped, but must be held in place by clamps or other hardware as it cannot support its own weight. CCAC standards only allows the use of Soft ACR up to ¥,- inch. Spacing between support should be at max. 6 feet. Hard Copper Tubes Refrigerant Copper Piping/Tubing and Fittings Hard ACR Copper Tubing Hard copper ACR pipe comes in 20-foot lengths and similar sizes to soft copper tubing. It is designed to be used with fittings such as elbows and tees to make necessary bends or change in direction. Joints and connections are made by soldering or brazing. CCAC standards allows the maximum use of 8 elbows (long radius)only. Cutting and Deburr of Copper Tubes Both soft and hard copper tubing should be cut using the proper size tube cutter. Tubing cutters are designed for clean, square cuts in soft, thin-wall material such as copper. To use the cutter, place it over the tubing and tighten the adjusting knob until the cutting wheel is aligned with and touches the tubing at the pint where it is to be cut. Rotate the cutter around the tubing, keeping a moderate pressure applied to the tubing by tightening the adjusting knob slightly on each rotation until the tubing is cut. Deburr the tube by inserting the cutting tool deburring blade into the cut end and gently twist until the inside edge is smooth. Keep the end of the tube pointing downward so that the metal chips fall out of (not into) the tubing. 92 Bending Soft Copper Tubes Soft copper tubing 5/8-inch in diameter and less are flexible enough to be bent by hand. Use a spring type bender of the proper size slipped over the tubing to prevent kinking or flattening. Kinks restricts the flow of refrigerant through the tube. A mechanical tube bender is used for large diameter tubing and when an accurate bend is required. It can be used to get smooth bends at any angle up to 180° Flaring and Swaging Soft Copper Tubes Flare connections and fittings are the most common mechanical method of joining soft copper tubing. A special flaring tool is used to expand the end of the tubing into the shape of a 45° cone (flare) that mates with an equipment connector or flare fitting. Flaring and Swaging Soft Copper Tubes Flared connections must be made correctly or they will leak. Follow the general procedure for best results: 1. Use a tube cutter to cut and deburr the tubing 2. Slide a flare fitting nut over the tubing with its threads facing the end of the tubing to be flared. 3. Place the tubing in the correct size die in the tool flaring bar. The tube must extend the correct distance above the bar (typically 1/3 the total height of the flare). If it extends too far, the end of the tube may split; if it is not far enough, the flare will be too small to seal tightly. Flared connections must be made correctly or they will leak. Follow the general procedure for best results: 4. Place the tool yoke with attached tapered cone on the flaring bar with the cone positioned over the end of the tubing. 5. Make sure the tubing is clamped in the flaring bar, then screw the cone down into the tubing until flare is completed. 6. Remove the tubing from the block and inspect the flare to make sure there are no defects. D: Flaring work Firmly hold copper pipe in a die in the dimension shown in the table below. Outer diam.
