STEP 2 -- REFRIGERANT PIPING -- Installing Indoor Expansion Valve
This outdoor unit is designed for use in systems that use either an fixed orifice (RFC) (included with outdoor unit), or
expansion valve metering device (purchased separately) at the indoor coil. The expansion valve unit can be installed
internal or external to the indoor coil. In applications where an uncased coil is being installed in a field-provided plenum,
install the expansion valve in a manner that will provide access for field servicing of the expansion valve. Refer to below
illustration for reference during installation of expansion valve unit. After installation of the indoor coil metering device,
proceed to Step 5.

EQUALIZER LINE INSTALLATION
A - Remove and discard either the flare seal cap or flare nut with
copper flare seal bonnet from the equalizer line port on the suc
tion line as illustrated in the figure below.
B - Remove the field-provided fitting that temporarily reconnected
the liquid line to the indoor unit's distributor assembly.

C - Install one of the provided Teflon
stubbed end of the check/expansion valve and use re
frigerant oil to lightly lubricate the connector threads
and exposed surface of the Teflon
D - Attach the stubbed end of the check/expansion valve
to the liquid line orifice housing. Finger tighten, then use
an appropriately sized wrench to turn an additional 1/2
turn clockwise as illustrated in the figure to the right, or
tighten to 20 ft-lb.

E - Place the remaining Teflon
end of the check expansion valve. Lightly lubricate
connector threads and expose surface of the Teflon
ring with refrigerant oil.
F - Attach the liquid line assembly to the check expansion
valve. Finger tighten, then use an appropriately sized
LINE
wrench to turn an additional 1/2 turn clockwise as illus
trated in the figure above or tighten to 20 ft-lb.
SENSING BULB INSTALLATION
A - Attach the suction line sensing bulb in the proper orien
tation as illustrated below using the clamp and screws
provided.
NOTE - Though it is preferred to have the sensing bulb
installed on a horizontal run of the suction line, installation on
a vertical run of piping is acceptable if necessary.
NOTE - Confirm proper thermal contact between the suction
line and check/expansion bulb before insulating the sensing
bulb.
B - Connect the equalizer line from the check/expansion
valve to the equalizer port on the suction line. Finger
tighten the flare nut, then tighten an additional 1/8 turn (7
ft-lbs) as illustrated to the right.
