b. Force liquid R-11 into the condenser bottom (outlet) fitting extension tube until clean R-11 flows from the condenser top (inlet) fitting extension tube, see Figure 1. Use the large orifice nozzle flush gun J-33883-50 or equivalent.

c. Cap the tubes with air conditioning hose end caps or appropriate plugs. Wait a minimum of 5 minutes before removing caps and draining the condenser.

d. Force R-12 vapor into the condenser top (inlet) fitting extension tube to purge the remaining R-11, see Figure 1. Use the large orifice nozzle flush gun J-33883-50 or equivalent. Continue to blow R-12 vapor until no liquid is observed leaving the condenser bottom (outlet) fitting extension tube.
