Distributor for more information.
Requirements for installing or servicing R-410A
equipment
• Gauge sets, hoses, refrigerant containers, and the
recovery system must be designed to handle the POE
type oils and the higher pressures of R-410A.
• Manifold sets must be high side and low side with
low side retard.
• All hoses must have a 700-psig service pressure
rating.
• Leak detectors must be designed to detect HFC
refrigerant.
• Recovery equipment (including refrigerant recovery
containers) must be specifically designed to handle
R-410A.
• Do not use an R-22 TXV.
Limitations
You must install the unit in accordance with all national,
state, and local safety codes, and the following limitations:
• Limitations for the indoor unit, coil, and appropriate
accessories must also be observed.
• The outdoor unit must not be installed with any
duct work in the air stream. The outdoor fan is the
propeller type and is not designed to operate against
any additional external static pressure.
• The maximum and minimum conditions for
operation must be observed to ensure a system that
gives maximum performance with minimum service.
