⚙️ Installation

Skill Level: ADVANCED — Licensed HVAC/R Technician Required. Recover all refrigerant before beginning — this fitting is installed on the sealed refrigerant system and must be performed by a certified technician in Canada. Clean the installation point on the refrigerant line, braze the copper tube stub securely, and allow to cool fully before pressure testing. Do not install on a pressurized system — always recover refrigerant first and leak-test after installation before recharging.
