Fig. 4 --- Filter Drier Components
Only use factory specified liquid--line filter driers with rated
working pressures less than 600 psig.
NOTE: Do not install a suction--line filter drier in liquid line.
Make Piping Sweat
Connections
Remove plastic caps from liquid and suction service valves. Use
refrigerant grade tubing. Service valves are closed from the factory
and are ready for brazing. After wrapping the service valve with a
wet cloth, the tubing set can be brazed to the service valve using
either silver bearing or non--silver bearing brazing material.
Consult local code requirements. Refrigerant tubing and the indoor
coil are now ready for leak testing.
NOTE: Unit is shipped with Puronr refrigerant factory charge
indicated on nameplate.
Pass nitrogen or other inert gas through piping while brazing to
prevent formation of copper oxide.
CAUTION
!
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
To prevent damage to unit or service valves observe the
following:
S Use a brazing shield.
S Wrap service valves with wet cloth or use a heat sink
material.
Provide Safety
Relief
A fusible plug is located in unit suction line; do not cap this plug.
If local code requires additional safety devices, install as directed.
