Recently, HBS has received customer complaints about the core being pierced when installing the condenser connecting pipe and expansion valve. This is actually an easily solvable problem by comparing the screw length before installing the retaining plate screw. We use a Accord evaporator as an example. HBS provides 5*30mm screws for installing the connecting pipe, while customers usually have 5*36mm screws for installing the expansion valve. Before installing the pipe, compare the lengths of the connecting pipe retaining plate and the evaporator retaining plate to determine if the screw is suitable (as shown below). Using a 5*36mm screw will clearly hit the evaporator core, making it easy to puncture. However, if you use the 5*30mm screws provided by HBS, the length is appropriate and will not touch the core.   Therefore, when installing the connecting pipe, an additional step of comparing the lengths of the retaining plate and the screw can prevent it piercing the evaporator.

Recently, customers provided feedback on two issues regarding the installation of quick fittings. They wanted to know how to install quick fittings correctly and how to determine if the fitting has been successfully installed. They requested assistance from HBS to resolve the issue. OK,Let's now delve into how quick fittings are installed in condensers. Firstly, let's address the proper installation of quick fittings. Customers reported that they were unable to install the fittings successfully even when pressing them directly to the bottom. Here's a handy tip: when pressing the fitting to the bottom, apply rotational force and listen for a clicking sound. This indicates a successful installation. Secondly, how to determine if the quick fitting has been installed correctly. Let's compare images of correct and incorrect installations. If the spring inside the fitting pops out, it means the installation was successful.   In summary, when using quick fittings in condensers, it is important to press the fitting to the bottom while applying rotational force. When you hear a clicking sound and see the spring inside the fitting pop out, the installation is considered successful.
