Catalog K-3, ZoomLock MAX / Page 15 ZoomLock MAX Press-to-Connect Refrigerant Fittings FITTING STORAGE ZoomLock MAX fittings do not require special storage conditions. However to protect the HNBR O-ring a few simple precautions should be taken. The O-rings should be protected from light sources, in particular direct sunlight or intense artificial light having a high ultra-violet content.

Page 18 / Catalog K-3, ZoomLock MAX ZoomLock MAX Press-to-Connect Refrigerant Fittings DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS (Continued) Testing and Commissioning of Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Systems • If you are going to leave the pipework pressurized for 24 hours or longer to check for leaks, measure the system pressure and the ambient temperature at the start and finish of the tightness test. A rise in ambient temperature can mask a leak if this is not taken into account.
Catalog K-3, ZoomLock MAX / Page 19 ZoomLock MAX Press-to-Connect Refrigerant Fittings DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS (Continued) Elbow Equivalent Lengths Certain applications are more sensitive to pressure losses from piping and require the use of long radius elbows to help ensure the pressure drop is kept to a minimum.
Page 20 / Catalog K-3, ZoomLock MAX ZoomLock MAX Press-to-Connect Refrigerant Fittings INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Rotate 5 - 7 Times STEP 1 STEP 2 STEP 3 Cut the tube to length • Use a rotary tube cutter. • Ensure that the tube is cut square. • Check the tube has retained its shape and is damage free. Deburr and remove all external sharp edges Use a pencil type deburrer on internal edges • • • • Deburr the tube both internally and externally.
Catalog K-3, ZoomLock MAX / Page 21 ZoomLock MAX Press-to-Connect Refrigerant Fittings INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (Continued) STEP 8 STEP 9 STEP 10 Insert the tube fully into the fitting. Ensure tube is fully inserted prior to pressing • Insert the tube fully into the fitting up to the tube stop. • To reduce the risk of dislodging the O-ring rotate the tube (if possible) while slipping it into the fitting. • Prior to pressing, ensure the tube has not moved out from the fitting socket.
Page 22 / Catalog K-3, ZoomLock MAX ZoomLock MAX Press-to-Connect Refrigerant Fittings INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (Continued) Installing a ZoomLock MAX Female Flare Connector to a Male Flare Connector Make the flare connection prior to pressing the ZoomLock MAX joint. If this is not possible care must be taken to prevent rotational forces being applied to the pressed joint. Torque Wrench Apply lubricating oil* to the inner surface of the flare.
