IMPORTANT - This Document is customer property and is to remain with this unit. Please return to service informa-
tion pack upon completion of work.
These instructions do not cover all variations in systems or provide for every possible contingency to be met in connection with
the installation. Should further information be desired or should particular problems arise which are not covered sufficiently for the
purchaser's purposes, the matter should be referred to your installing dealer or local distributor.
Note: The manufacturer recommends installing only approved matched indoor and outdoor systems. All of the manufacture's split
systems are A.H.R.I. rated only with TXV/EEV indoor systems. Some of the benefits of installing approved matched indoor and
outdoor split systems are maximum efficiency, optimum performance and the best overall system reliability.

    Section 7. Refrigerant Line Brazing 7.1 Braze The Refrigerant Lines STEP 1 - Remove caps or plugs. Use a debur- ing tool to debur the pipe ends. Clean both internal and external surfaces of the tubing using an emery cloth. STEP 2 - Remove the pressure tap cap and valve cores from both service valves.
  • Page 10 STEP 4 - Wrap a wet rag around the valve body to avoid heat damage and continue the dry nitro- gen purge. Braze the refrigerant lines to the service valves. For units shipped with a field-installed external drier, check liquid line filter drier’s directional flow arrow to confirm correct direction of refrigeration flow (away from outdoor unit and toward evapo- rator coil) as illustrated.
