TYPICAL FIXED ORIFICE INSTALLATION
PROCEDURE
1. Installed the provided RFC orifice that was supplied
with the outdoor unit as illustrated in figure 18.
2. Ensure that the fixed orifice supplied with the outdoor
unit is installed with the nylon seat pointing toward the
liquid line orifice housing.
3. Apply a small amount of refrigerant oil on the Teflon
ring and insert securely into the liquid line orifice
housing.
4. Attach the liquid line assembly to the liquid line orifice
housing. Finger tighten and use an appropriately sized
wrench to turn an additional 1/2 turn clockwise as
illustrated in figure 17, or 20 ft−lb.
5. Place the supplied fixed orifice sticker on the indoor
cabinet after installation.

TYPICAL TXV INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
The TXV unit can be installed internal or external to the
indoor coil. In applications where an uncased coil is being
installed in a field−provided plenum, install the TXV in a
manner that will provide access for field servicing of the
TXV. Refer to Figure 20 for reference during installation of
TXV unit.
1. Install one of the provided Teflon rings around the
stubbed end of the TXV and lightly lubricate the
connector threads and expose surface of the Teflon
ring with refrigerant oil.
2. Attach the stubbed end of the kit valve to the liquid line
orifice housing. Finger tighten and use an appropriately
sized wrench to turn an additional 1/2 turn clockwise
as illustrated in figure 17, or 20 ft−lb.
3. Place the remaining Teflon washer around the other
end of the TXV. Lightly lubricate connector threads
and expose surface of the Teflon ring with refrigerant
oil.
4. Attach the liquid line assembly to the TXV. Finger
tighten and use an appropriately sized wrench to turn
an additional 1/2 turn clockwise as illustrated in figure
17, or 20 ft−lb.
5. Attach the suction line sensing bulb in the proper
orientation as illustrated in figure 21 using the clamp
an screws provided.
NOTE − Insulating the sensing bulb once installed may be
required when the bulb location is external to the coil
casing.
