Ball Valve Installation (for refrigerant R410A only)
Check the size of the ball valve set you separately purchased.
1. Installing the ball valve
(1) If the ball valve is to be installed for indoor unit
extension, or near an indoor unit, install it so that
the service port faces the indoor unit side.
(This facilitates indoor unit leak testing and vacu-
um procedures.)
Install the ball valve as close as possible to the
distribution joint.
CAUTION
This ball valve is for use only in
systems that utilize refrigerant
R410A. The service port
connection size is ø7.94. The
face-to-face distance between
the ø12.7 or ø15.88 flare nuts is
26 mm or 29 mm, respectively.
Be sure to use only the
supplied flare nuts. Be careful
to use the correct tools and
materials.
2. Flare nut tightening
The flare nut on the service port side is fully
tightened. Recommended tightening torque is
(8 – 10 N·m).
If the valve is used for extension, it can be used
as-is. In all other cases, use 2 monkey wrenches
in combination to loosen the flare nut.
