INSTALLING/BRAZING REFRIGERANT LINES

CAUTION
Do NOT open refrigerant valve at the outdoor unit until the refrigerant lines and coil have been brazed, evacuated, and leak checked. This would cause contamination of the refriger- ant or possible discharge of refrigerant to the atmosphere.

• The following steps are to be considered when installing the refrigerant lines:
  a. Determine the most practical way to run the lines.
  b. Consider types of bends to be made and space limitations.
  c. Route the tubing making all required bends and properly secure the tubing before making final connections.

NOTE:
Refrigerant lines must be isolated from the structure and the holes must be sealed weather tight after installation.
IMPORTANT:
Do not unseal refrigerant tubing until ready to fit refrigerant lines.
There is only a holding charge of dry air in the indoor coil, therefore no loss of operating refrigerant charge occurs when the sealing plugs are removed.
NOTE:
TXV bulb MUST be protected (wrapped with wet rag) or removed, while brazing the tubing. Overheating of the sensing bulb will affect the functional characteristics and performance of the comfort coil.

1. Remove both rubber plugs from the indoor coil.

2. Field supplied tubing should be cut square, round and free of burrs at the connecting end. Clean the tubing to prevent contaminants from entering the system.

3. Run the refrigerant tubing into the stub tube sockets of the indoor unit coil.
   PAINTED AREAS OF THE UNIT MUST BE SHIELDED DURING BRAZING.

4. Flow a small amount of nitrogen through the tubing while brazing.

5. Use good brazing technique to make leakproof joints.

6. Minimize the use of sharp 90 degree bends.

7. Insulate the suction line and its fittings.

8. Do NOT allow un-insulated lines to come into contact with each other. Note:
   When replacing the TXV bulb, reinstall the bulb in the proper orientation using the spring clip provided.

9. Rewrap the TXV bulb, spring clip, and suction line with insulation after spring clip is reinstalled.
   NOTE:
   The TXV setting on this unit may run high superheat (15-25 °F) when measured at the outdoor unit when installed in upflow or horizontal left positions.

10. For optimal performance, the TXV bulb may be relocated outside the coil cabinet after the field line brazing is complete.
    a. Remove the bulb insulation and bulb clip.
    b. Lace the TXV bulb it through the large coil panel grommet.
    c. Assemble the TXV bulb to the field provided suction line outside the unit. Ensure the bulb is mounted on
    a straight, smooth section of 7/8″ O.D. copper line.
    The bulb should be clear of any field braze joints and located away from any bends in the pipe.
    d. The recommend installation position for the TXV bulb is parallel to the ground (on a horizontal plane). The bulb position should be at 2 o’clock or 10 o’clock. See Figure 14.
    e. Wrap the bulb and suction with field provided insulation after the spring clip is reinstalled.

LEAK CHECK

1. Using a manifold gauge, connect an external supply of dry nitrogen to the gauge port on the liquid line.

2. Pressurize the connecting lines and indoor coil to 150 PSIG maximum.

3. Leak check brazed line connections using soap bubbles.
   Repair leaks (if any) after relieving pressure.

4. Evacuate and charge the system per the instructions packaged with the outdoor unit.

CONDENSATE DRAIN PIPING

Condensate drain connections are located in the drain pan at the bottom of the coil/enclosure assembly. The female threaded fitting protrudes outside of the enclosure for external connection.
A field fabricated trap is not required for proper drainage due to the positive pressure of the furnace; however, it is recommended to prevent efficiency loss of conditioned air.
1. The drain hole in the drain pan must be cleared of all insulation.
2. Insulate the primary drain line to prevent sweating where dew point temperatures may be met. (Optional depending on climate and application needs)
3. Connect the secondary drain line to a separate drain line (no trap is needed in this line).

CLEANING THE COIL

The two piece door allows removal of the outer casing doors without interference from refrigerant or condensate lines. Once the outer doors are removed the inner coil panels can be easily removed. The inside and outside of the coil can be easily cleaned with a brush and vacuum with the panels removed. See Figure 15.
The foil covered insulation should be wiped down and residual dirt and dust should be vacuumed up to maintain good air quality. See Figure 16.
