Refrigerant Piping Connections - Lennox VRF V22B Series Installation Instruction

7. Access is required during the commissioning process
to test the condensate disposal system (See Figure 8),
to check flare nuts , and to check the local disconnect.
Ceiling framing should not restrict access.

Refrigerant Piping Connections

WARNING
Refrigerant leaks are unlikely; however, if a refrigerant
leak occurs, open a door or windows to dilute the
refrigerant in the room. Turn off the unit and all other
appliances that may cause a spark. Call a licensed
professional HVAC technician (or equivalent) to repair
the leak.
Use only R410A refrigerant to charge this system. Use
of other refrigerant or gas will damage the equipment.
Do not allow air or other contaminants to enter system
during installation of refrigerant piping. Contaminants
will result in lower system capacity and abnormally high
operating pressures and may result in system failure or
explosion.
Insulate all refrigerant piping.
Refrigerant pipes may be very hot during unit operation.
Do not allow contact between wiring and bare copper
pipes.
After refrigerant piping
completed, check the system for leaks per commissioning
instructions.
Field piping consists of two copper lines connected to the
indoor unit. Table 1 lists the connection sizes at the indoor
unit. The connections are made using the provided brass
flare nuts at the end of the refrigerant piping connections.
Both lines must be individually insulated.
1. The seal on the unit refrigerant piping connections
should remain in place until the last possible moment.
This will prevent dust or water from getting into the
refrigerant piping before it is connected.
2. Slowly loosen one of the flare nuts to release the
factory nitrogen charge.
3. Remove the flare nuts from the connections on the
unit and discard the seal from each of the piping
connections.
4. Slide the flare nuts onto the ends of the field-provided
refrigerant piping before using a suitable flaring tool
to flare the end of the copper pipe.
5. Apply recommended HFC-410A refrigerant lubricant
to the outside of the flared refrigerant lines (Figure
3-A).

miscibility properties with mineral-based oil and POE oil
(Polyolester), it is not recommended to mix PVE oil with
any other type of refrigerant oil.
