correct positioning of sensing bulb.
11. Proceed with remainder of unit installation.
---)"FAN COIL
To obtain efficiency rating for 38TDB037 with FV4ANB006
fancoil TXV must be replaced with factory supplied TXV.
Replacing R-22 TXV or Non-Balance Port Puron TXV
l. Remove any existing refrigerant and ensure coil has not been
exposed to atmospheric pressure for more than 15 minutes.
2. Remove coil access panel and fitting panel from front of
cabinet.
3. Remove and save TXV support clamp using the 5/16-in. nut

6. Remove bulb from vapor mbe inside cabinet.
7. Braze equalizer stub-tube closed. Use protective barrier as
necessary to prevent damage to drain pan.
----)IMPORTANT: Route the equalizer tubeof the approved PuronĀ®
TXV through suction line connection opening in fitting door prior
to replacing fitting panel around tubing.
8. Install TXV (Fig. 5A) with 3/8-in. copper tubing through
small hole in service panel. Use wrench and backup wrench,
to avoid damage to tubing valve.
9. Reinstall TXV support clamp (removed in item 3).
10.
Attach TXV bulb to vapor tube inside cabinet, in same
location as ori_nal was when removed, using supplied bulb
straps. (See Fig. 5C.) See Fig. 6 for correct positioning of
sensing bulb. Insulate bulb with factory-supplied insulation
tape. (See Fig. 5E.)
11. Route equalizer tube through suction connection opening
(large hole) in fitting panel and install fitting panel in place.
12. Sweat inlet of TXV, masked "IN" to liquid line. Avoid
excessive heat which could damage valve.
13. Install vapor elbow (see Fig. 5B) with equalizer adapter to
vapor line of line set and vapor connection to indoor coil.
Adapter has a l/4-in, male connector for attaching equalizer
tube. (See Fig. 5B.)
14. Connect equalizer tube of TXV by l/4-in, equalizer fitting, on
vapor line adapter. Use backup wrench to prevent damage to
equalizer fitting.
15. Proceed with the remainder of unit installation.
