SECTION 3 - HANDLING, STORAGE, INSTALLATION, AND REASSEMBLY
Torque Values
All threaded fasteners shall be torqued to the values
shown in
for the appropriate
bolt materials and gaskets. Values are applicable only
to fiber reinforced, graphite impregnated, teflon, spiral,
jacketed and solid metal gaskets. Cork and low seating
stress gaskets, below 150 psi (1034kPA), are normally
over-bolted and require less torque.
Sealing of the joints, utilizing bulb gaskets, requires
control of the gasket squeeze. For a gasket extend-
ing 3/8 in. above the groove, the squeeze is limited by
maintaining the gap between the surfaces at 3/6 in. +/-
1/16 in. Use the same torque for metal-to-metal contact
outside of the bolt circle. Use the same torque for O-
ring gaskets.
REFRIGERANT TUBING REASSEMBLY
The following is a step-by-step procedure to be used to
reassemble the chiller refrigerant piping.
Assembly of Straight Thread O-ring Port
Fittings
The male and female ends of SAE and ISO 6149
straight thread O-ring ports have UN/UNF or metric
straight threads. An elastomeric O-ring is fitted to the
male end. During assembly, the O-ring is firmly sand-
wiched between the angular sealing surface of the fe-
male port and the shoulder of the male end.
Sealing is thus affected and maintained by the O-ring
compression which results from the clamping force
generated by tightening. The straight threads do NOT
offer sealing action; they provide the resistance (hold-
ing power) for service pressure.

WASHER
1. Inspect to ensure that both matching parts are free
of burrs, nicks, scratches or any foreign particles.
2.
Install O-ring on port end of fitting, if it is NOT
pre-installed, take care NOT to nick the O-ring.
3. Lubricate O-ring with a light coat of synthetic
Polyolester (POE) oil or POE grease.
