How to Use this Competency-Based Learning Material

This learning material is designed to guide you in learning at your own pace.
To start with, talk with your trainer and agree on how you will both organize the
training for this module. Most probably your trainer will also be your supervisor
or manager. He/she is there to support you and guide you the correct way to do
things. From time to time you will be required to practice and demonstrate the
skills that you’ve learned from this module and you will be requiring some
assistance from your trainer (as instructed in the learning material).
To proceed with the learning session you just have go through the Learning
Activity Sheet where in you will follow series of learning instructions towards
attaining the learning outcome.
At the end part of this module is a Learner’s Diary. Use this diary to record
important dates, jobs undertaken and other workplace events that may provide
further details to your trainer or assessor. A Record of Achievement will be
provided to you by your trainer for you to accomplish once you complete the
module. Upon completion of this module, study the evidence plan at the end of
the last learning element of this module then ask your instructor to assess you.
You will be given a certificate of completion as proof that you met the standard
requirements (knowledge, skills and attitude) for this module. The assessment
could be made in different methods, as prescribed in the competency standards.
If you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask your instructors for

assistance. Your instructor will always be available to assist you during the
training.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
You may already have some or most of the knowledge and skills covered in
this module because you have:
 been working for some time
 already completed training in this area.
If you can demonstrate to your trainer that you are competent in particular
skill, talk to him/her about having them formally recognized so you would not

INFORMATION SHEET 1.1-1
IDENTIFYING MATERIALS AND TOOLS
Learning Objectives: After reading this information sheet, the trainee will
be able to:
1. identify the job requirements (tubing and fittings)

2. identify HVAC tools and materials.
3. determined the quantity of each material to be used.
4. determined the correct quantity and quality of materials as per job
requirement.
LET’ STUDY
Installation of pipes and fittings in a refrigeration system is impossible

without the necessary tools and materials.
Copper Tubing
The tubing that carries the refrigerant to various components is considered

to be a vital part of the refrigeration system. Copper tubing is the most common
materials in the refrigeration piping circuit. It is used to connect the major parts
of the refrigeration system such as evaporator coil, the compressor, the
condenser coil and the expansion valve, most copper tubing is available from
1/8 inch through ¾ inch of diameter. The end are capped or plugged to keep the
inside of the tubing clean and dry. It is also available in soft and hard types.
1. Soft copper tubing - This is used in domestic and some commercial

refrigeration and air conditioning work, because it is easy to bend and flare.

RAC SERVICING
NC II

Revision #
materials and
tools
Being bendable, this tubing must be supported by suitable brackets or clamp
in installation, soft copper tubing is often used with flared and soft soldering
fittings. It is also sold in rolls of 1, 35, and 50 ft long.
2. Hard drawn copper tubing - This is used in Commercial refrigeration and air
conditioning applications. Being hard and stiff. It needs few clamps to
support it in installation. Hard drawn copper tubing should not be bent. Use
straight lengths and fitting to form the necessary tube connection. Hard
drawn refrigeration tubing joints should be silver brazed to eliminate leaks.
3. Steel tubing - This is a thin wall tubing used in refrigeration and air
conditioning work, Its size is practically the same as that of copper tubing,
connections may be made on steel tubing by using either flare joints or silver
brazed joins.
4. Stainless steel tubing - This is a strong type of tubing that is very resistant to
corrosion. It is also easily connected to fitting by either flaring or brazing
because of this qualities, stainless steel is often required in food processing,
ice, oven, manufacture, milk handling system, etc.
5. Plastic tubing - This type of tubing with polyethylene is one of the most
common substances used in manufacture of plastic tubing, the usual safe
temperature is from 100 degrees to +175 degrees you should never use this
tubing where fluid temperature goes beyond this limit. Polyethylene tubing is
not used in refrigerating mechanism but in cold water lines in water cooled
condensers.
6. Flexible tubing (hose) - This is commonly used tubing and suction lines in
many refrigeration system and in commercial air conditioning application.
This type serves to prevent vibration in the mechanism. Air conditioning
equipment for a motor vehicle requires the use of flexible tubing since the
vehicle is always moving.
Fitting:
A fitting is a device used to connect tubes of different widths and lengths.
1. Flaring tube fitting - used in flared type connection to attach fittings in

copper tubing. There are many different fittings. It is hexagonal in shape for
wrench attachment. These threaded fittings must be carefully handled to
prevent damage. All fittings used are based on the tubing size.

The common flare type fittings used in refrigeration and air conditioning
works are the following.
2. Flare hose fitting - This includes assorted nylon fittings suitable to refrigerant
hoses. This type of fittings are the following :

3. Soldered or brazed tube fitting - This type is used in most tubing and fitting
connections that are either by soldering or silver brazing. Soldered joints are
used for water pipes and drains. Silver brazed joints are used for refrigerants
pipes and fittings.
