Ball Type Service Valve
(Valve Open)
Use adjustable wrench. To open, rotate stem
clockwise 1/4 turn (90°). To close, rotate stem
counterclockwise 1/4 turn (90°).

WARNING
Never use oxygen to pressurize refrigeration
or air conditioning systems. Oxygen will ex-
plode on contact with oil and could cause
personal injury or death.
Using an Electronic Leak Detector
1. Connect the high pressure hose of the manifold
gauge set to the suction valve service port. (Normally
the high pressure hose is connected to the liquid line
port; however, connecting it to the suction ports helps
to protect the manifold gauge set from damage
caused by high pressure.)
2. With both manifold valves closed, connect the cylin-
der of R410A refrigerant. Open the valve on the
R410A cylinder (vapor only).
3. Open the high pressure side of the manifold to allow
R410A into the line set and indoor unit. Weigh in a
trace amount of R410A. (A trace amount is a maxi-
mum of 2 oz. of refrigerant or 3 lbs. pressure.) Close
the valve on the R410A cylinder and the valve on the
high pressure side of the manifold gauge set. Discon-
nect the R410A cylinder.
4. Connect a cylinder of nitrogen with a pressure regulat-
ing valve to the center port of the manifold gauge set.
# 48387H005
When using high pressure gas such as nitrogen
for this purpose, be sure to use a regulator that
can control the pressure down to 1 or 2 psig.
5. Adjust nitrogen pressure to 150 psig. Open the valve
on the high side of the manifold gauge set to pressur-
ize the line set and the indoor coil.
6. After a short period of time, open a refrigerant port to
make sure that an adequate amount of refrigerant has
been added for detection (refrigerant requirements will
vary with lengths). Check all joints for leaks. Purge
nitrogen and R410A mixture. Correct any leaks and
recheck.
Evacuation
Evacuating the system of noncondensables is critical for
proper operation of the unit. Noncondensables are defined
as any gas that will not condense under temperatures and
pressures present during operation of an air conditioning
system. Noncondensables and water vapor combine with
refrigerant to produce substances that corrode copper
piping and compressor parts.
WARNING
Do not use a compressor to evacuate a sys-
tem. Avoid deep vacuum operation. Extremely
low vacuums can cause internal arcing and
compressor failure. Danger of equipment
damage. Damage caused by deep vacuum
operation will void warranty.
Use a thermocouple or thermistor electronic vacuum
gauge that is calibrated in microns. Use an instrument that
reads down to 50 microns.
1. Connect the manifold gauge set to the service valve
ports as follows:
•
Low pressure gauge to suction line service valve
•
High pressure gauge to liquid line service valve
2. Connect micron gauge.
3. Connect the vacuum pump (with vacuum gauge) to
the center port of the manifold gauge set.
4. Open both manifold valves and start vacuum pump.
5. Evacuate the line set and indoor unit to a minimum of 500
microns or lower. During the early stages of evacuation, it
is desirable to close the manifold gauge valve at least
once to determine if there is a rapid rise in pressure. A
rapid rise in pressure indicates a relatively large leak. If
this occurs, the leak testing procedure must be repeated.
