Installing plastics coated copper tubing

• Cover or nip the end of the tube to prevent dust or dirt entering.
  
  
• Mark with coloured tape or pencil the flow and return tubes so that at the manifold and radiator valve connections, there is a clear indication which pipes carry the flow and which the return.
  
  
• Capillary fittings - cut the plastic cover and fold it back about 100mm . Wrap the end of the plastic and part of the exposed copper with a wet rag to prevent over heating of the cover. When the joint has been made the joints and exposed copper tube should be carefully wrapped with an adhesive polythene or PVC waterproof tape.
