NEW BRAZING TECHNIQUES = FEWER LEAKS
Swaged Joint Before Braze
Find out how brazing rings and proper socket depths enhance the brazing process.
EPDM: THE ONLY INSULATION FOR VRV/VRF
Among many other advantages, EPDM is the only insulation material allowed by VRV/VRF manufacturers.
PIPE SUPPORTS: THE CRUCIAL FOUNDATION
Maintaining full insulation thickness at pipe supports is vital to prevent moisture, mold, and structure damage.
Swaged Joint After Braze (Enlarged)
| INTERNAL BRAZING RING: | Brazing material in a pre-formed ring for quick and repeatable brazes. |
| DOUBLE FILLET: | Fillet is ensured on the inside AND outside of brazed joint. |
| FULL-DEPTH PENETRATION: | Inside-out brazing ensures full depth penetration every time with visual cue. |
| VISUAL CUE: | See brazing material appear to know the joint is complete. |
| PREVENT OVERHEATING: | Visual cue helps prevent overheating and volatilizing the phosphorus flux. |
| PROPER BRAZING SOCKET: | Standard fittings are designed for soldering, NOT brazing! Proper brazing sockets are approximately half as deep. |

VISUAL CUE
•
Exceeds VRV/VRF manufacturers' required operating temperatures of 248 °F.
•
Nearly ALL other insulation materials will fail or degrade at this temp.
•
Closed-cell + non-polar + ultra-low permeability = less moisture in building.
•
Won't leach chlorides if wet, which can corrode the piping over time.
•
No jacketing required for UV or ozone protection.
•
Thicknesses up to 3" to meet new energy standards.
•
EPDM now available on insulated coils (line-sets)!
•
Thicknesses up to 1-1/2" to help meet new energy standards.
•
(Some states may require dual layer insulation)
•
Rigid and adherable support maintains full and continuous insulation.
•
Packaged with correct metal clamps for easy purchasing & install.
•
Rated up to 257 °F.
•
UV and weather resistant.
CUSH-A-THERM
•
Easily support line sets and minimize crushing the insulation.
•
Easily anchors to Unistrut with included hardware.
•
Allows for expansion and contraction of piping system.
•
For use indoors and horizontal applications only.
