IMPORTANT
Only use Allen wrenches of sufficient hardness (50Rc − Rockwell Harness Scale minimum). Fully insert the wrench into the valve stem recess.
Service valve stems are factory−torqued (from 9 ft−lbs for small valves, to 25 ft−lbs for large valves) to prevent refrigerant loss during shipping and handling. Using an Allen wrench rated at less than 50Rc risks rounding or breaking off the wrench, or stripping the valve stem recess.
See the Lennox Service and Application Notes Corp.0807−L5 (C−08−1) for further details and information.
