Compressors
The scroll compressor used in this product is specifically 
designed to operate with R-410A Refrigerant and cannot be 
interchanged.
The compressor also uses a polyolester (POE oil), Mobil 3MA 
POE. This oil is extremely hydroscopic, meaning it absorbs 
water readily. POE oil can absorb 15 times as much water as 
other oils designed for HCFC and CFC refrigerants. Take all 
necessary precautions to avoid exposure of the oil to the 
atmosphere.
POE (polyolester) compressor lubricants are known to cause 
long term damage to some synthetic roofing materials.
Procedures which risk oil leakage include, but are not limited to, 
compressor replacement, repairing refrigerant leaks, replacing 
refrigerant components such as filter drier, pressure switch, 
metering device or coil.
Units are shipped with compressor mountings which are 
factory-adjusted and ready for operation.
Phasing
Three-phase, scroll compressors operate in only one direction. 
If the scroll is drawing low amperage, has similar suction and 
discharge pressures, or is producing a high noise level, the 
scroll is misphased. Change the incoming line connection 
phasing to obtain the proper rotation.
Gas Heat
These single or two stage gas-fired heaters have aluminized-
steel tubular heat exchangers with spark to pilot ignition.
Gas Piping
Proper sizing of gas piping depends on the cubic feet per hour 
of gas flow required, specific gravity of the gas and the length of 
run. National Fuel Gas Code Z223.1 or CSA B149.1 should be 
followed in all cases unless superseded by local codes or gas 
company requirements. Refer to Tables 7 and 8.
The heating value of the gas may differ with locality. The value 
should be checked with the local gas utility.
NOTE:  There may be a local gas utility requirement specifying 
a minimum diameter for gas piping. All units require a 
1/2 inch pipe connection at the gas valve.
Gas Connection
The gas supply line can be routed through the hole located on 
the left side of the unit. Refer to Figure 3 to locate these access 
openings. Typical supply piping arrangements are shown in 
Figure 12.
Gas piping requirements:
1. A drip leg and a ground joint union must be installed in the 
gas piping.
2. When required by local codes, a manual shut-off valve may 
have to be installed outside of the unit.
3. Use wrought iron or steel pipe for all gas lines. Pipe dope 
should be applied sparingly to male threads only.

This system uses R-410A Refrigerant which operates at 
higher pressures than R-22. No other refrigerant may be 
used in this system.
Do not leave the system open to the atmosphere. Unit 
damage could occur due to moisture being absorbed by 
the POE oil in the system. This type of oil is highly 
susceptible to moisture absorption
Exposure, even if immediately cleaned up, may cause 
embrittlement (leading to cracking) to occur in one year 
or more. When performing any service that may risk 
exposure of compressor oil to the roof, take precautions 
to protect roofing.
Do not loosen compressor mounting bolts.
Scroll compressors require proper rotation to operate 
properly. Failure to check and correct rotation may result 
in property damage.
