Specifications subject to change without notice.
CAUTION
!
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
Do not leave system open to atmosphere any longer than
minimum required for installation. POE oil in compressor is
extremely susceptible to moisture absorption. Always keep
ends of tubing sealed during installation.
If ANY refrigerant tubing is buried, provide a 6 in. (152.4
mm) vertical rise at service valve. Refrigerant tubing
lengths up to 36 in. (914.4 mm) may be buried without
further special consideration. Do not bury lines more than
36 in. (914.4 mm).
Outdoor units may be connected to indoor section using
accessory tubing package or field- supplied refrigerant grade
tubing of correct size and condition. For tubing requirements
beyond 80 ft/24.38 m, substantial capacity and performance
losses can occur. Following the recommendations in the Long
Line Applications Guideline for Split- System Air Conditioners and
Heat Pumps will reduce these losses. Refer to Table 1 for
accessory requirements. Refer to Table 2 for field tubing
diameters.
There are no buried- line applications greater than 36 in. (914.4
mm).
If refrigerant tubes or indoor coil are exposed to atmosphere, they
must be evacuated to 500 microns to eliminate contamination and
moisture in the system.
Outdoor Unit Connected to Factory Approved Indoor
Unit
Outdoor unit contains correct system refrigerant charge for
operation with factory approved AHRI rated indoor unit when
connected by 15 ft. (4.57 m) of field- supplied or
factory- accessory tubing, and factory supplied filter drier. Check
refrigerant charge for maximum efficiency.

Notes:
1. Do not apply capillary tube or fixed orifice indoor coils to these units.

Install Liquid Line Filter Drier Indoor
CAUTION
!
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this c aution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
Installation of filter drier in liquid line is required.
Filter drier must be wrapped in a heat - sinking material
such as a wet cloth while brazing.
Refer to Fig. 3 and install filter drier as follows:
1. Braze 5 in. (127 mm) liquid tube to the indoor coil.
2. Wrap filter drier with damp cloth.
3. Braze filter drier to above 5 in. (127 mm) liquid tube. Flow
arrow must point towards indoor coil.
4. Connect and braze liquid refrigerant tube to the filter drier.
