IMPORTANT
To prevent stripping of the various caps used, the
appropriately sized wrench should be used and fitted
snugly over the cap before tightening.
Using Manifold Gauge Set
When checking the system charge, only use a manifold
gauge set that features low loss anti-blow back fittings.
Manifold gauge set used with HFC-410A refrigerant
systems must be capable of handling the higher system
operating pressures. The gauges should be rated for use
with pressures of 0 - 800 psig on the high side and a low
side of 30" vacuum to 250 psig with dampened speed to
500 psi. Gauge hoses must be rated for use at up to 800
psig of pressure with a 4000 psig burst rating.
OPERATING BALL-TYPE SERVICE VALVE
1 - Remove stem cap with an appropriately sized wrench.
2 - Use an appropriately sized wrench to open. To open valve, rotate
stem counterclockwise 90°. To close, rotate stem clockwise 90°.
TO OPEN, ROTATE STEM
COUNTERCLOCKWISE 90°.
TO CLOSE, ROTATE STEM
CLOCKWISE 90°.

OPERATING ANGLE-TYPE SERVICE VALVE
1 - Remove stem cap with an appropriately sized wrench.
2 - Use a service wrench with a hex-head extension (3/16" for liquid
line valve sizes and 5/16" for vapor line valve sizes) to back the
stem out counterclockwise as far as it will go.
When service valve is OPEN, the service port is
open to line set, indoor and outdoor unit.
When service valve is CLOSED, the service port is
open to the line set and indoor unit.
NOTE - A label with specific torque requirements may be affixed to
the stem cap. If the label is present, use the specified torque.
ACCESS SERVICE PORT
A service port cap protects the service port core from contamination
and serves as the primary leak seal.
1 - Remove service port cap with an appropriately sized wrench.
2 - Connect gauge set to service port.
3 - When testing is completed, replace service port cap and tighten
as follows:
With torque wrench, finger tighten and torque
cap per table 2.
Without torque wrench, finger tighten and
use an appropriately sized wrench to turn
an additional 1/6 turn clockwise.
Reinstall Stem Cap
Stem cap protects the valve stem from damage and serves as the
primary seal. Replace the stem cap and tighten as follows:
With torque wrench, finger tighten and
then torque cap per table 2.
Without torque wrench, fi
en and use an appropriately sized
wrench to turn an additional 1/12
turn clockwise.
