 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS R−410A Split System Air Conditioner

R−410A QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE

• R−410A refrigerant operates at 50% − 70% higher pressures than R−22. Be sure that servicing equipment and
replacement components are designed to operate with R−410A.

• R−410A refrigerant cylinders are rose colored.

• Recovery cylinder service pressure rating must be 400 psig, DOT 4BA400 or DOT BW400.

• R−410A systems should be charged with liquid refrigerant. Use a commercial type metering device in the
manifold hose.

• Manifold sets should be 750 psig high−side and 200 psig low−side with 520 psig low−side retard.

• Use hoses with 750 psig service pressure rating.

• Leak detectors should be designed to detect HFC refrigerant.

• R−410A, as with other HFC refrigerants, is only compatible with POE oils.

• Vacuum pumps will not remove moisture from oil.

• Do not use liquid line filter−driers with rated working pressures less than 600 psig.

• Do not install a suction line filter−drier in liquid line.

• POE oils absorb moisture rapidly. Do not expose oil to atmosphere.

• POE oils may cause damage to certain plastics and roofing materials.

• Wrap all filter−driers and service valves with wet cloth when brazing.

• A liquid line filter−drier is required on every unit.

• Do not use with an R−22 TXV.

• If indoor unit is equipped with an R−22 TXV, it must be changed to an R−410A TXV.

• Never open system to atmosphere while it is under a vacuum.

• When system must be opened for service, break vacuum with dry nitrogen and replace all filter−driers.

• Do not vent R−410A into the atmosphere.

• Do not use capillary tube indoor coils.

• Observe all WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, NOTES, and bold text.
