Arrangement
Note: It may be necessary to secure the capillary to
a bracket or brace to quiet the vibration. The capillary
may need to be secured in more than one place.
DIRECTION OF
VIBRATION
Figure 3: SEC99 Loose Coil Perpendicular
Arrangement
Note: You may require a double coil arrangement if
vibration in different directions is present. Use a
bracket or brace between the coils, if necessary.
After considering the vibration effect, follow these
instructions to install an SEC99 Series UltraCap or
UltraTube:
1. Uncoil the capillary or tube as needed (Figure 4).
2. Hand-start the flare nuts to avoid damaging the
fitting threads.
Note: If the fitting flare nut cannot be tightened onto
the male flare fitting, it may be necessary to remove
the Schrader valve depressor. See
Note: Removing the Breakaway Schrader Valve
Depressor on page 2.
3. Use a 5/8 in. wrench to tighten the flare nuts. Do
not apply more than 10 lb·ft (13.6 N·m) of torque.
4. Check all fittings and connections for leaks before
placing the system into operation.

!
CAUTION: Risk of Environmental and
Property Damage.
Avoid sharp bends in the capillary tubes. Sharp
bends can weaken or kink capillary tubes, which
may result in refrigerant leaks or restrictions of flow.
MISE EN GARDE: dommages environnementaux
et dégâts matériels.
Éviter de former des coudes serrés avec les tubes
capillaires. Les coudes serrés peuvent affaiblir les
tubes capillaires ou engendrer des pliures, ce qui
risque de provoquer des fuites de réfrigérant ou d'en
gêner l'écoulement.
!
CAUTION: Risk of Environmental and
Property Damage.
Coil and secure excess capillary tubing away from
contact with sharp or abrasive objects or surfaces.
Vibration or sharp or abrasive objects in contact with
capillary tubes can cause damage that may result in
refrigerant leaks, which may result in damage to the
environment or property.
MISE EN GARDE: Risque de dommages
environnementaux et dégâts matériels.
Enrouler et fixer l'excédent de tubes capillaires de
manière à éviter tout contact avec des objets
coupants ou des surfaces abrasives. Des vibrations
ou des objets coupants ou abrasifs en contact avec
les tubes capillaires risque d'endommager ceux-ci et
d'occasionner des fuites de refrigerant, susceptibles
de provoquer des dommages environnementaux ou
des dégâts matériels.
