Specialized for a range of A/C and refrigeration applications, these Danfoss / Eaton E-Z Clip System A/C Refrigeration Products Cages ensure precision and reliability. Constructed to eliminate guesswork and prevent leaking crimps, they do not require a power supply, making them easy to use in limited-space environments.
The assembly process is straightforward: begin by cutting the hose to the appropriate length and install two clips onto the hose. Lubricate the nipple generously with the system-compatible compressor oil before inserting it into the hose, ensuring no gaps or damage.
For secure installation, snap the cage into the nipple groove and slide the clips over the cage arms into their channels. Closing of the clips is achieved using the FT1357 Clip Closing Pliers, ensuring a tight fit. It's important to adhere to these guidelines to avoid potential hazards and EPA regulation violations.
Materials required include clip closing pliers (FT1357), a guillotine blade (FT1356) or equivalent tool, refrigeration-compatible oil, GH134 Multi-Refrigerant hose, and appropriately sized clips and cage. The specific rubber compound o-rings on the nipple assembly should not be removed or replaced.
Caution is advised as using incompatible components may result in unreliable hose assemblies.
