506469-01 Issue 1008 Refrigerant Piping If the 4AC18L T unit is being installed with a new indoor coil and line set, the refrigerant connections should be made as outlined in this section. If an existing line set and/or indoor coil will be used to complete the system, refer to this section as well as the section that follows entitled - Flushing Exi[...]

506469-01 Issue 1008 6. Braze the line set to the service valve. Quench the joints with water or a wet cloth to prevent heat damage to the valve core and opening port. The tube end must sta y bottomed in the fitting during final assembly to ensure proper seating, sealing, and rigidity . 7. Install the thermal exp ansion valve which is sold separate[...]

506469-01 Issue 1008 Flushing Existing Line Set and Indoor Coil This procedure should not be performed on systems which contain cont aminants, such as compressor burn out. Required Euipment The following equipment is needed to flush the existing line set and indoor coil (See Figure 9). T wo clean R-22 recovery bottles, an oil-less recovery machine [...]

506469-01 Issue 1008 4. Remover the existing R-22 refrigerant flow control orifice or thermal expansion valve before continuing with flushing procedures. R-22 flow control devices are not approved for use with R410A refrigerant and may prevent proper flushing. Use a field-provided fitting to reconnect the lines. 5. Remove the pressure tap valve cor[...]

If installing an exp ansion valve on an indoor coil that previously used a fixed orifice, be sure to remove the existing fixed orifice. Failure to remove a fixed [...]

506469-01 Issue 1008 Using an Electronic Leak Detector 1. Connect the high pressure hose of the manifold gauge set to the suction valve service port. (Normally the high pressure hose is connected to the liquid line port; however , connecting it to the suction ports helps to protect the manifold gauge set from damage caused by high pressure.) 2. Wit[...]

506469-01 Issue 1008 4. Open both manifold valves and start vacuum pump. 5. Evacuate the line set and indoor unit to a minimum of 500 microns or lower . During the early stages of evacuation, it is desirable to close the manifold gauge valve at least once to determine if there is a rapid rise in pressure. A rapid rise in pressure indicates a relati[...]
