Airconditioning

Traditionally air conditioning installations use fixed pipework. However for an number of applications, includiing mobile plant and ad-hoc installations - the Danfoss air conditioning hose provides a reliable, long term solution.
 
Air conditioning hoses are made with special liners to work with the common air conditioning fluids.There are two types of aircon hose available from Danfoss; the ez-clip/crimp style hose and the field attachable R5 style hose. The  hoses are not true bore in that that  bore size does not equate to the dash size - for instance dash 8 aircon hose in the ez-clip range has a 10mm bore.

Aircon Hose EzClip Assembly Tips:

Step 1 Cut the Hose
Cut the hose to proper length with an appropriate cutting tool. Aeroquip’s hand-held hose cutter (FT356) has been specially designed for cutting all non-wire reinforced hose, such as GH134 Multi-Refrigerant hose. Be sure the cut is made square to the hose length.

Step 2 Slip on two Clips
Install two proper-sized clips onto the cut end of the hose. Orientation of the clips does not affect the performance of the connection. However, for ease of assembly both clips should have the same orientation.

NOTE: Failure to slide the clips over the hose at this time will require the clips to be stretched over the hose or fitting later. This may permanently damage the clip.

Step 3 Oil the nipple
Lubricate the nipple with a generous amount of the refrigeration or A/C system’s compressor lubricating oil. This MUST be done to lower the force of nipple insertion.

Step 4 Insert the nipple into the hose
Insert the nipple into the hose. To ensure that the nipple is fully inserted check the gap between the cut end of the hose and the shoulder on the nipple. Care should be taken to avoid kinking or other damage to the hose during nipple insertion.

NOTE: Be sure to wipe excess oil from the nipple and hose.

Step 5 Snap on the cage
Snap the cage into the groove on the nipple. The arms should extend over the hose length. When the cage has been correctly installed in the cage groove, the cage will be able to rotate in the groove.

This step MUST be performed
to ensure:
1. The clips will be located over the o-rings on the nipple.
2. The connection will be capable of the connection’s pressure rating.

Step 6 Slide the Clips
Slide the clips over the cage arms and into
the channels on each arm.

Step 7 Close the Clips
Use the FT1357 (FT1417 for -16) pliers to close the clips. The pliers should be positioned squarely on the clip connection points and should remain square during the closing of the clip.

Notice: Nose of the pliers should be firmly seated under the assembly bump and lock latch. If the pliers are not kept square during closing of the clip, the clasp may have an offset. Use the pliers to correct the clasp alignment.

For easiest assembly, the clasp should be closed between the cage arms.

E-Z clip components should not be reused.
