Refrigerant Tubing Connection - Outdoor
Connect vapor tube to fitting on outdoor unit vapor service valves (see
Table 1).
No Installation of Adapter Tube
Although it is a heat pump this unit has a standard AC liquid service
valve. An EXV inside the unit serves as the heating expansion device.
Sweat Connections
Use refrigerant grade tubing. Service valves are closed from factory and
ready for brazing. Clean line set tube ends with emery cloth or steel
brush. Remove any grit or debris.
Insert line set tube ends into service valve tube stubs.
Apply heat absorbing paste or heat sink product between service valve
and joint. Wrap service valves with a heat sinking material such as a wet
cloth.
Braze joints using a Sil-Fos or Phos-copper alloy. Consult local code
requirements. Refrigerant tubing and indoor coil are now ready for leak
testing. This check should include all field and factory joints.
Pressure Test Tubing and Indoor Coil
Refrigerant tubes and indoor coil should be pressure tested with an inert
gas such as nitrogen. Pressurize the system with the inert gas to the Low
Side Test Pressure listed on the outdoor unit rating plate
Evacuate Refrigerant Tubing and Indoor Coil
