Provide pipe hangers and supports in accordance with ASME B31.5; MSS SP-58 unless indicated otherwise. C. Liquid Indicators: 1. Use line size liquid indicators in main liquid line leaving condenser. 2. If receiver is provided, install in liquid line leaving receiver. 3. Use line size on leaving side of liquid solenoid valves. D. Valves: 1. Use service valves on suction and discharge of compressors. 2. Use gauge taps at compressor inlet and outlet. 3. Use gauge taps at hot gas bypass regulators, inlet and outlet. 4. Use check valves on compressor discharge. 5. Use check valves on condenser liquid lines on multiple condenser systems. E. Refrigerant Charging (Packed Angle) Valve: Use in liquid line between receiver shut-off valve and expansion valve. F. Strainers: 1. Use line size strainer upstream of each automatic valve. 2. Where multiple expansion valves with integral strainers are used, use single main liquid line strainer. 3. On steel piping systems, use strainer in suction line. 4. Use shut-off valve on each side of strainer. G. Pressure Relief Valves: Use on ASME receivers and pipe to outdoors. H. Filter-Driers: 1. Use a filter-drier immediately ahead of liquid-line controls, such as thermostatic expansion valves, solenoid valves, and moisture indicators. 2. Use a filter-drier on suction line just ahead of compressor. 3. Use sealed filter-driers in lines smaller than 1/2 inch; 3/4 inch outside diameter. 4. Use sealed filter-driers in low temperature systems. 5. Use sealed filter-driers in systems utilizing hermetic compressors. 6. Use replaceable core filter-driers in lines of 1/2 inch; 3/4 inch outside diameter or greater. 7. Use replaceable core liquid-line filter-driers in systems utilizing receivers. 8. Use filter-driers for each solenoid valve. I. Solenoid Valves: 1. Use in liquid line of systems operating with single pump-out or pump-down compressor control. 2. Use in liquid line of single or multiple evaporator systems. 3. Use in oil bleeder lines from flooded evaporators to stop flow of oil and refrigerant into the suction line when system shuts down. J. Receivers: 1. As per manufacturer recommendation. K. Flexible Connectors: Utilize at or near compressors where piping configuration does not absorb vibration. Factory-fabricated connectors and splices of size, ampacity rating, material, type, and class for application and service indicated.
