Distributor Nozzle Change-Out —
zles are factory supplied. Thermostatic expansion valves (TX-
Vs) are either field or factory supplied. Be sure that correct
nozzle is installed in each distributor before installing expan-
sion valve. See Table 11 for factory-installed distributor nozzle
sizes. Use AHUBuilder
performance; replacement nozzles must be field-installed. The
correct nozzle is typically factory-installed.
Do not overheat distributor or cap. Failure to comply could
result in equipment damage.
Perform nozzle change-out procedure as follows:
1. Remove plastic end cap by using an electric heat gun
or a torch (see Fig. 97).
2. Clean off any grime.
3. Remove nozzle retaining ring with screwdriver or nee-
dle nosed pliers.
4. Remove nozzle from distributor by inserting 2 no. 6-
32 threaded rods (at least 4 in. long) into the threaded
holes provided in the nozzle. See Fig. 98.
5. Insert correct nozzle into distributor body.
6. Re-insert nozzle retainer ring into distributor.
