5. Line Set Installation WARNING • R-404A itself is not flammable at atmospheric pressure and temperatures up to 176°F (80°C). • R-404A itself is not explosive or poisonous. However, when exposed to high temperatures (open flames), R-404A can be decomposed to form hydrofluoric acid and carbonyl fluoride both of which are hazardous.

Icemaker 3) Remove the Schrader valve cores from the icemaker liquid line and discharge line service valves. 4) KMD-505MRJZ: a) Remove one of the straight copper tubes from the icemaker accessory bag and place it in the icemaker liquid line service valve. See Fig. 12. b) Place the line set liquid line copper tube into the straight copper tube.
Page 29
Condenser Unit 8) Remove the Schrader valve cores from the condenser unit liquid line and discharge line service valves. 9) KMD-505MRJZ: a) Remove the remaining straight copper tube from the icemaker accessory bag and place it in the condenser unit liquid line service valve. See Fig. 13. b) Place the line set liquid line copper tube into the straight copper tube.
Page 30
15) After checking the line set for leaks, vent the nitrogen charge from the line set. 16) Evacuate the line set. Allow the vacuum pump to pull down to a 29.9" Hg vacuum. Evacuating period depends on pump capacity. 17) After evacuation, charge each line set tube with R-404A vapor to a pressure of 15 to 30 PSIG.
Page 31
b) Line Set Greater Than 66' (20 m) Up to a Maximum of 100' (30.5 m) 1) Route the factory line set or appropriate size copper tubing. When field fabricating, insulate the copper tubes separately. Leave a service loop behind the icemaker to allow the icemaker to be pulled out for service.
Page 32
Condenser Unit 8) Remove the Schrader valve cores from the condenser unit liquid line and discharge line service valves. 9) Place the line set liquid line copper tube into the condensing unit liquid line service valve. 10) KMD-505MRJZ: a) Using a 1/2"×3/8" copper slip reducer (not provided), place the 3/8" end of the copper slip reducer into the condensing unit discharge line service valve (3/8").
Page 33
17) After evacuation, add the appropriate amount of additional R-404A. See "II.G.4 Line Set Size and Refrigerant Charge" for details. Hoshizaki Technical Support is available at 1-800-233-1940 for recommendations. 18) Close both gauge manifold valves. 19) Open the icemaker service valves first, then open the remote condenser unit service valves.
