Notes:
(1) The above tubing confi gurations are guidelines to minimize tube stress.
(2) Follow similar guidelines for discharge tubing and oil return tubing as needed.
(3) If a run over 30” is required, intermediate clamps may be necessary.
(4) Do not hang weights on tubing (e.g. fi lter drier on suction tubing) except after clamps or close to the header.
(5) This dimension should be made as short as possible but still insuring a proper braze joint.
(6) The above tubing recommendations are based on “no elbow joints”. The use of continuous tubing is preferred.
