LOCATION

The following steps should be performed in order to insure proper system operation and performance.

Before starting the installation, select and check the suitability of the
location for both the indoor and outdoor unit. Observe all limitations and
clearance requirements.
The outdoor unit must have sufficient clearance for air entrance to the
condenser coil, air discharge, and service access. See Figure 1.
NOTE: For multiple unit installations, units must be spaced a minimum
of 18 inches apart (coil face to coil face).
If the unit is to be installed on a hot sun exposed roof or a black-topped
ground area, the unit should be raised sufficiently above the roof or
ground to avoid taking the accumulated layer of hot air into the outdoor
unit.
Provide an adequate structural support.

2.

Change-out the indoor coil, if required, to an approved R-22 coil/

condensing unit combination with the appropriate metering device.
If the outdoor unit is being replaced due to a compressor burnout,
then installation of a 100% activated alumina suction-line filter
drier in the suction-line is required, in addition to the factory
installed liquid-line drier. Operate the system for 10 hours. Monitor
the suction drier pressure drop. If the pressure drop exceeds 3
psig, replace both the suction-line and liquid-line driers. After a
total of 10 hours run time where the suction-line pressure drop has
not exceeded 3 psig, replace the liquid line drier, and remove the
suction-line drier. Never leave a suction-line drier in the system
longer than 50 hours of run time.

GROUND INSTALLATION

ROOF INSTALLATION

The unit should be installed on a solid base that is 2 above grade and
will not shift or settle, causing strain on the refrigerant lines and possible
leaks. Maintain the clearances shown in Figure 1 and install the unit in a
level position. The base pad should not come in contact with the foundation or side of the structure because sound may be transmitted to the
residence.

When installing units on a roof, the structure must be capable of supporting the total weight of the unit, including a pad, lintels, rails, etc.,
which should be used to minimize the transmission of sound or vibration into the conditioned space.

The length of the refrigerant tubing between the outdoor unit and indoor
coil should be as short as possible to avoid capacity and efficiency
losses. Excessive spacing of the outdoor unit from the home can result
in the refrigerant lines being restricted by trampling or being punctured
by lawn mowers. Locate the outdoor unit away from bedroom windows
or other rooms where sound might be objectionable.

The air conditioning units copper spun filter/dryer is located on the liquid line.

Adverse effects of snow or sleet accumulating on the outdoor coil can

be eliminated by placing the outdoor unit where the prevailing wind
does not blow across the unit. Trees, shrubs, corners of buildings, and
fences standing off from the coil can reduce capacity loss due to wind
chill effect.
Provide ample clearance from shrubs to allow adequate air to pass
across the outdoor coil without leaves or branches being pulled into the
coil.

LIQUID LINE FILTER-DRIER

NOTE: Replacements for the liquid line drier must be exactly the same
as marked on the original factory drier. See Source 1 for O.E.M.
replacement driers.

Failure to do so or using a substitute drier or a granular type may

result in damage to the equipment.

PIPING CONNECTIONS
The outdoor condensing unit must be connected to the indoor evaporator coil using field supplied refrigerant grade (ACR) copper tubing that is
internally clean and dry. Units should be installed only with the tubing
sizes for approved system combinations as specified in tabular data
sheet. The charge given is applicable for total tubing lengths up to 15
feet. See Application Data Part Number 247077 for installing tubing of
longer lengths and elevation differences.

NOTE: Using a larger than specified line size could result in oil return
problems. Using too small a line will result in loss of capacity and other
problems caused by insufficient refrigerant flow. Slope horizontal vapor
lines at least 1" every 20 feet toward the outdoor unit to facilitate proper
oil return.

FIGURE 3: Underground Installation

PRECAUTIONS DURING LINE INSTALLATION

PRECAUTIONS DURING BRAZING OF LINES

1.

All outdoor unit and evaporator coil connections are copper-to-copper

and should be brazed with a phosphorous-copper alloy material such
as Silfos-5 or equivalent. DO NOT use soft solder. The outdoor units
have reusable service valves on both the liquid and vapor connections.
The total system refrigerant charge is retained within the outdoor unit
during shipping and installation. The reusable service valves are provided to evacuate and charge per this instruction.

2.
3.
4.

5.
6.

7.

8.

Install the lines with as few bends as possible. Care must be taken
not to damage the couplings or kink the tubing. Use clean hard
drawn copper tubing where no appreciable amount of bending
around obstruction is necessary. If soft copper must be used, care
must be taken to avoid sharp bends which may cause a restriction.
The lines should be installed so that they will not obstruct service
access to the coil, air handling system, or filter.
Care must also be taken to isolate the refrigerant lines to minimize
noise transmission from the equipment to the structure.
The vapor line must be insulated with a minimum of 1/2" foam rubber insulation (Armaflex or equivalent). Liquid lines that will be
exposed to direct sunlight, high temperatures, or excessive humidity must also be insulated.
Tape and suspend the refrigerant lines as shown. DO NOT allow
tube metal-to-metal contact. See Figure 2.
Use PVC piping as a conduit for all underground installations as
shown in Figure 3. Buried lines should be kept as short as possible
to minimize the build up of liquid refrigerant in the vapor line during
long periods of shutdown
Pack fiberglass insulation and a sealing material such as permagum around refrigerant lines where they penetrate a wall to reduce
vibration and to retain some flexibility.
For systems with total line length exceeding 50 feet, see APPLICATION DATA and worksheet "General Piping Recommendations
and Refrigerant Line Length" for vapor and liquid line sizing, calibration of liquid line pressure loss or gain, determination of vapor
line velocity, elevation limitations, orifice connections, system
charging, traps, etc.

Serious service problems can be avoided by taking adequate precautions to assure an internally clean and dry system.

Dry nitrogen should always be supplied through the tubing while it

is being brazed, because the temperature required is high enough
to cause oxidation of the copper unless an inert atmosphere is provided. The flow of dry nitrogen should continue until the joint has
cooled. Always use a pressure regulator and safety valve to insure
that only low pressure dry nitrogen is introduced into the tubing.
Only a small flow is necessary to displace air and prevent oxidation.

PRECAUTIONS DURING BRAZING SERVICE VALVE

Precautions should be taken to prevent heat damage to service valve
by wrapping a wet rag around it as shown in Figure 4. Also, protect all
painted surfaces, insulation, and plastic base during brazing. After brazing, cool joint with wet rag.

This is not a backseating valve. The service access port has a

valve core. Opening or closing valve does not close service access
port.
If the valve stem is backed out past the chamfered retaining wall,
the O-ring can be damaged causing leakage or system pressure
could force the valve stem out of the valve body possibly causing
personal injury.

13. Replace plunger cap finger tight, then tighten an additional 1/12
turn (1/2 hex flat). Cap must be replaced to prevent leaks.

Never attempt to repair any brazed connections while the system is

under pressure. Personal injury could result.
See "System Charge section for checking and recording system
charge.
Supplied with the outdoor unit is a Schrader Valve Core and Orifice for
highest sales volume indoor coil. The valve core must be installed in
equalizer fitting of the indoor coil.

SECTION IV: ORIFICE INSTALLATION

FIGURE 4: Heat Protection
Failure to install Schrader Valve Core on orifice applications could
result in total refrigerant loss of the system!
Do not install any coil in a furnace which is to be operated during
the heating season without attaching the refrigerant lines to the coil.
The coil is under 30 to 35 psig inert gas pressure which must be
released to prevent excessive pressure build-up and possible coil
damage.
4.

Braze the liquid line to the evaporator liquid connection. Nitrogen

should be flowing through the evaporator coil.
5. Slide the grommet away from the vapor connection at the indoor
coil. Braze the vapor line to the evaporator vapor connection. After
the connection has cooled, slide the grommet back into original
position.
6. Protect the vapor valve with a wet rag and braze the vapor line
connection to the outdoor unit. The nitrogen flow should be exiting
the system from the vapor service port connection. After this connection has cooled, remove the nitrogen source from the liquid fitting service port.
7. Replace the Schrader core in the liquid and vapor valves.
8. Go to SECTION V or SECTION IV for orifice or TXV installation
depending on application.
9. Leak test all refrigerant piping connections including the service
port flare caps to be sure they are leak tight. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN (between 40 and 60 inch - lbs. maximum).
NOTE: Line set and indoor coil can be pressurized to 250 psig with dry
nitrogen and leak tested with a bubble type leak detector. Then release
the nitrogen charge.
NOTE: Do not use the system refrigerant in the outdoor unit to purge or
leak test.
10. Evacuate the vapor line, evaporator, and liquid line to 500 microns
or less.

fitting supplied with the liquid line. Hand modify the liquid line to
align with casing opening. Hand tighten the liquid line and an additional 1/4 turn to seal.
Install the TXV equalizer line into the vapor line as follows:
a. Hand tighten the 1/4 SAE nut to the schraeder fitting and an
additional 1/3 turn to seal.

SECTION VII: SYSTEM CHARGE

The factory charge in the outdoor unit includes enough charge for the
unit, a 15 ft. line set, and the smallest indoor coil match-up. Some
indoor coil matches may require additional charge. See tabular data
sheet provided in unit literature packet for charge requirements.

Do not leave the system open to the atmosphere.

The TOTAL SYSTEM CHARGE must be permanently stamped on the
unit data plate.
Total system charge is determined as follows:
1.
2.
3.

Determine outdoor unit charge from tabular data sheet.

Determine indoor coil adjustment from tabular data sheet.
Calculate the line charge using the tabular data sheet if line length
is greater than 15 feet.
4. Total system charge = item 1 + item 2 + item 3.
5. Permanently stamp the unit data plate with the total amount of
refrigerant in the system.
Use the following charging method whenever additional refrigerant is
required for the system charge.

Refrigerant charging should only be carried out by a qualified air

conditioning contractor.

Install the TXV bulb to the vapor line near the equalizer line, using
the bulb clamp(s) furnished with the TXV assembly. Ensure the
bulb is making maximum contact.
a. Bulb should be installed on a horizontal run of the vapor line if
possible. The bulb should be installed on top of the line.
b.

c.

If bulb installation is made on a vertical run, the bulb should

be located at least 16 inches from any bend, and on the tubing sides opposite the plane of the bend. The bulb should be
positioned with the bulb tail at the top, so that the bulb acts as
a reservoir.
Bulb should be insulated using thermal insulation provided to
protect it from the effect of the surrounding ambient temperature. Cover completely to insulate from air-stream.

Compressor damage will occur if system is improperly charged. On

new system installations, charge system per tabular data sheet for
the matched coil and follow guidelines in this instruction.
If a calibrated charging cylinder or accurate weighing device is available, add refrigerant accordingly. Otherwise, model-specific charging
charts are provided on the access panel of the unit.

SUPERHEAT CHARGING METHOD PISTON INDOOR

1.

In all cases, mount the TXV bulb after vapor line is brazed and has
had sufficient time to cool.

2.

3.
4.
Schrader valve core MUST NOT be installed with TXV installation.
Poor system performance or system failure could result.

SECTION VI: EVACUATION

It will be necessary to evacuate the system to 500 microns or less. If a
leak is suspected, leak test with dry nitrogen to locate the leak. Repair
the leak and test again.
To verify that the system has no leaks, simply close the valve to the vacuum pump suction to isolate the pump and hold the system under vacuum. Watch the micron gauge for a few minutes. If the micron gauge
indicates a steady and continuous rise, its an indication of a leak. If the
gauge shows a rise, then levels off after a few minutes and remains
fairly constant, its an indication that the system is leak free but still contains moisture and may require further evacuation if the reading is
above 500 microns.

6.

Operate system until temperatures and pressures stabilize (minimum of 10 minutes).

Measure and record indoor wet bulb (WB) temperature using a
sling psychrometer and the outdoor dry bulb (DB) temperature
using a thermometer.
Measure and record the suction pressure at the suction service
valve port.
Using charts located on the unit, note the superheat value corresponding to the intersection of the indoor wet bulb and the outdoor
dry bulb.
With the superheat value obtained in step 4 and the suction pressure value from step 3, find the intersection of the values on the
chart. This is the required suction tube temperature at the suction
service valve.
To bring the tube temperature in line with the required value from
chart, add refrigerant to the service port to cause the tube temperature to fall and reclaim refrigerant to cause the temperature to
rise.

290982-UIM-E-0608
SUBCOOLING CHARGING METHOD - TXV INDOOR

Example: The pressure P and temperature T measured at the liquid service port is 196 psig and 90F, respectlvely. From Table 2,
the saturated temperature for 196 psig is 100F. The subcooling
temperature TC = 100-90=10F

The recommended subcooling is 10F

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

Set the system running in the cooling mode by setting the thermostat at least 6F below the room temperature.
Operate the system for a minimum of 15-20 minutes.
Refer to the tabular data sheet for the recommended airflow and
verify this indoor airflow (it should be about 400 SCFM per ton).
Measure the liquid refrigerant pressure P and temperature T at the
service valve.
Calculate the saturated liquid temperature ST from Table 2.
Subcooling temperature TC = Saturated Temperature (ST) - Liquid
Temp (T).

Add charge if the calculated subcooling temperature TC in Step 6 is

lower than the recommended level. Remove and recover the refrigerant
if the subcooling TC is higher than the recommended level. See Table
2.
Check flare caps on service ports to be sure they are leak tight. DO
NOT OVERTIGHTEN (between 40 and 60 inch - lbs. maximum).

SECTION IX: INSTRUCTING THE OWNER

Assist owner with processing warranty cards and/or online registration.
Review Owners Guide and provide a copy to the owner and guidance
on proper operation and maintenance. Instruct the owner or the operator how to start, stop and adjust temperature setting.
When applicable, instruct the owner that the compressor is equipped
with a crankcase heater to prevent the migration of refrigerant to the
compressor during the OFF cycle. The heater is energized only when
the unit is not running. If the main switch is disconnected for long periods of shut down, do not attempt to start the unit until 8 hours after the
switch has been connected. This will allow sufficient time for all liquid
refrigerant to be driven out of the compressor.

2. The outdoor fan motor is permanently lubricated and does not

require periodic oiling.
3. If the coil needs to be cleaned, it should be washed with Calgon
Coilclean (mix one part Coilclean to seven parts water). Allow solution to remain on coil for 30 minutes before rinsing with clean water.
Solution should not be permitted to come in contact with painted
surfaces.
4. Refer to the furnace or air handler instructions for filter and blower
motor maintenance.
5. The indoor coil and drain pan should be inspected and cleaned regularly to prevent odors and assure proper drainage.

The installer should also instruct the owner on proper operation and
maintenance of all other system components.

MAINTENANCE
1. Dirt should not be allowed to accumulate on the outdoor coils or
other parts in the air circuit. Clean as often as necessary to keep
the unit clean. Use a brush, vacuum cleaner attachment, or other
suitable means.

IT IS UNLAWFUL TO KNOWINGLY VENT, RELEASE OR DISCHARGE REFRIGERANT INTO THE OPEN AIR DURING
REPAIR, SERVICE, MAINTENANCE OR THE FINAL DISPOSAL
OF THIS UNIT.
WHEN THE SYSTEM IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND THE
OWNER HAS BEEN FULLY INSTRUCTED, SECURE THE
OWNERS APPROVAL.
