NOTES:

(1) The above tubing configurations are guidelines to minimize tube stress.

(2) Follow similar guidelines for discharge tubing and oil return tubing as needed.

(3) If a run of over 20” is required, intermediate clamps may be necessary.

(4) Do not hang weights on tubing (e.g. filter drier on suction tubing) except after clamps or close to the header.

(5) Tube runs of less than 8” are not recommended.

(6) This dimension should be made as short as possible (e.g. 2” or less) but still insuring a proper braze joint.

(7) The above tubing recommendations are based on “no elbow joints”. The use of continuous tubing is
preferred.
