Important Environmental Concerns
Scientific research has shown that certain man-made chemicals can affect the
earth’s naturally occurring stratospheric ozone layer when released to the
atmosphere. In particular, several of the identified chemicals that may affect
the ozone layer are refrigerants that contain Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon
(CFCs) and those containing Hydrogen, Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (HCFCs).
Not all refrigerants containing these compounds have the same potential impact
to the environment. Trane advocates the responsible handling of all
refrigerants.
Important Responsible Refrigerant Practices
Trane believes that responsible refrigerant practices are important to the
environment, our customers, and the air conditioning industry. All technicians
who handle refrigerants must be certified according to local rules. For the
USA, the Federal Clean Air Act (Section 608) sets forth the requirements for
handling, reclaiming, recovering and recycling of certain refrigerants and the
equipment that is used in these service procedures. In addition, some states
or municipalities may have additional requirements that must also be adhered
to for responsible management of refrigerants. Know the applicable laws and
follow them.
WARNING
Proper Field Wiring and Grounding Required!
Failure to follow code could result in death or serious injury.
All field wiring MUST be performed by qualified personnel. Improperly
installed and grounded field wiring poses FIRE and ELECTROCUTION hazards. To
avoid these hazards, you MUST follow requirements for field wiring
installation and grounding as described in NEC and your local/state/national
electrical codes.
WARNING
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Required!
Failure to wear proper PPE for the job being undertaken could result in death
or serious injury. Technicians, in order to protect themselves from potential
electrical, mechanical, and chemical hazards, MUST follow precautions in this
manual and on the tags, stickers, and labels, as well as the instructions
below:
- Before installing/servicing this unit, technicians MUST put on all PPE required for the work being undertaken (Examples; cut resistant gloves/sleeves, butyl gloves, safety glasses, hard hat/bump cap, fall protection, electrical PPE and arc flash clothing). ALWAYS refer to appropriate Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and OSHA guidelines for proper PPE.
- When working with or around hazardous chemicals, ALWAYS refer to the appropriate SDS and OSHA/GHS (Global Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals) guidelines for information on allowable personal exposure levels, proper respiratory protection and handling instructions.
- If there is a risk of energized electrical contact, arc, or flash, technicians MUST put on all PPE in accordance with OSHA, NFPA 70E, or other country-specific requirements for arc flash protection, PRIOR to servicing the unit. NEVER PERFORM ANY SWITCHING, DISCONNECTING, OR VOLTAGE TESTING WITHOUT PROPER ELECTRICAL PPE AND ARC FLASH CLOTHING. ENSURE ELECTRICAL METERS AND EQUIPMENT ARE PROPERLY RATED FOR INTENDED VOLTAGE.

Pre-Installation
Information
The purpose of a hot gas bypass system is to artificially load the compressor
upon a decrease in evaporator load. The Hot Gas Bypass (HGBP) regulator valve
automatically responds to changes in suction pressure. When the refrigerant
evaporating pressure is above the bypass valve setting, the valve remains
closed. When the cooling evaporator load drops, the suction pressure drops
below the bypass valve setting and the valve begins to open. A portion of the
hot gas is injected directly into the indoor coil distributor, which maintains
the compressor suction pressure at the valve set point. The amount of valve
opening is proportional to the change in the suction pressure, thereby,
providing capacity modulation.
Important: The HGBP line should not exceed 75 feet. For greater length,
contact applications support.
Low head pressure problems are possible with hot gas bypass applications due
to:
- Operation at low outdoor ambient temperatures.
- Some hot gas bypasses the condenser, causing further reduction in head pressure. (The published low ambient limit does not apply when hot gas bypass is utilized.)
- The application of a low ambient head pressure control accessory is highly recommended. This accessory kit is designed for R-410A/R-454B applications only and cannot be used on heat pump systems.
Inspection
- Unpack all components of the kit.
- Check carefully for shipping damage. If any damage is found, report it immediately, and file a claim against the transportation company.
Required Materials
- Copper tube for connection between condensing unit and air handler.
- Tubular insulation suitable for HVAC use – 1/2” minimum thickness.

WARNING
Risk of Fire — Flammable Refrigerant!
Failure to follow instructions below could result in death or serious injury,
and equipment damage.
- To be repaired only by trained service personnel.
- Do not puncture refrigerant tubing.
- Dispose of properly in accordance with federal or local regulations.
Important: Refrigerant must not be vented to the atmosphere.
- For new installations, release the nitrogen holding charge by removing line connection caps and slowly opening the field-installed service valve. For existing installations, properly recover refrigerant from the system. If R-454B refrigerant is used, refer to the unit Installation, Operation, and Maintenance (IOM) guide, and follow the requirements listed in the A2L Work Procedures section.
- The installed accessory requires an additional refrigerant line installed between the condensing unit and the air handler. See Table 3, p. 10 for the requirements of this line.
- Check the HGBP diagrams, to determine the exact location for cutting the tubing and placing the tees in the refrigerant lines.
- Drill/punch hole in sheet metal panel in both the condensing unit and air handler to allow passage of the hot gas bypass tube, see Figure 5, p. 8. Insert the provided bushings in the holes.
- Cleaning, Cutting, and Fitting: Clean the outside surface of tube with sandpaper or steel wool at the location you plan to cut and install the “T” coupling. When cutting the tubing always use a tube cutter. After the tubing has been cut, its ends must be scraped or reamed with a pointed tool to remove any sharp burr in the end of the tube. Using a clean dry cloth, wipe away any small metal particles that may be in or around newly cut edges.
Installation in Condensing Unit
-
Using a tube cutter, remove a ½” to ¾” length of tube from the common compressor discharge (hot gas) line (reference preparation Step 5 and Figure 9, p. 13).
-
Remove plugs from the tubing ends of the HGBP accessory.
-
From the interior of the condensing unit, assemble outlet end of the HGBP accessory with bracket punched hole through the bushing in the center panel. Insert the cut ends of the common discharge line into the inlet “T” of the accessory. Continue to refer Figure 9, p. 13 while positioning the tubing assembly.
NOTICE
Equipment Damage!
When installing bracket, be careful not to damage any parts in the control box. -
With the installation of the HGBP accessory complete, ensure that it does not come in contact with any metal that may rub or “chatter” during operation.
-
Ensure manifold gauge hoses are attached to the service ports (one discharge port and one suction port) on the system.
-
Attach center line manifold gauge to a dry nitrogen supply.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard!
Failure to follow these instructions could result in death or serious injury or equipment or property-only damage.
Use only dry nitrogen with a pressure regulator for pressurizing unit. Do not use acetylene, oxygen or compressed air or mixtures containing them for pressure testing. Do not use hydrogen mixtures containing refrigerant and air above atmospheric pressure for pressure testing as they may become flammable and could result in an explosion. Refrigerant, when used as a trace gas should only be mixed with dry nitrogen for pressurizing units. -
Flow dry nitrogen through the system at about 2 to 3 psig (avoid any positive pressure buildup).
NOTICE
Equipment Damage!
Painted areas of the unit must be shielded during brazing and all valves wrapped with a wet cloth to protect from heat.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard and Deadly Gases!
Failure to follow all proper safe refrigerant handling practices could result in death or serious injury. Never solder, braze or weld on refrigerant lines or any unit components that are above atmospheric pressure or where refrigerant may be present. Always remove refrigerant by following the guidelines established by the EPA Federal Clean Air Act or other state or local codes as appropriate. After refrigerant removal, use dry nitrogen to bring system back to atmospheric pressure before opening system for repairs. Mixtures of refrigerants and air under pressure may become combustible in the presence of an ignition source leading to an explosion. Excessive heat from soldering, brazing or welding with refrigerant vapors present can form highly toxic gases and extremely corrosive acids. -
Begin brazing at the “T” on the common compressor discharge gas line. Braze the copper joints leak tight.
-
After brazing, shut off and disconnect nitrogen supply.
-
Remove the schraeder core and reg tag (only applicable for R–454B units) on the suction line service port shown on Figure 9, p. 13 or Figure 10, p. 14.

Operational Test
- Close HGBP service valve.
- Start the system and check for proper operation per unit IOM.
- Slowly open the HGBP service valve.
- The HGBP valve will begin to cycle and bypass at suction pressures lower than the factory set point of 102 psig for R-410A or 92 psig for R-454B. Above this pressure the system will operate normally without the use of HGBP.
Operation of the HGBP system can be verified by briefly shutting off the
indoor fan while monitoring refrigerant pressures at the condensing unit. Once
the indoor airflow blower has stopped, the HGBP valve will begin to open when
the suction pressure drops below 102 psig for R-410A or 92 psig for R-454B.
The opening of the valve will be accompanied by an audible hiss of refrigerant
flowing through the hot gas line. If the valve has opened at the specified
pressure level, the system is operational. Restart the indoor air handler. The
HGBP service valve must remain open.
The factory set point ensures reliable operation for a typical split system
layout. If adjustment of the suction pressure set point is found to be
necessary, the HGBP valve is setscrew adjustable between 75 and 150 psig (CW
increases the setpoint and CCW decreases). This procedure should only be
conducted by qualified technicians.
