!WARNING

PERSONAL INJURY AND UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.

Relieve pressure and recover all refrigerant before system repair or final unit disposal. Use all service ports and open all flow-control devices, including solenoid valves.

!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.

!CAUTION

UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage or improper operation.

If ANY refrigerant tubing is buried, provide a 6 in. 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 longer 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 Residential Piping and Long-Line Guideline will reduce these losses. Refer to Table 1 for field tubing diameters. Refer to Table 2 for accessory requirements.

Outdoor Unit Connected to Factory-Approved Indoor

Unit

Outdoor unit contains correct system refrigerant charge for operation with factory-approved, AHRI-rated indoor unit with highest sales volume 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.

NOTE: If the indoor furnace coil width is more than the furnace casing width, refer to the indoor coil Installation Instructions for transition requirements.

*Units are rated with 25 ft. (7.6 m) of lineset. See Product Data sheet for performance data when using different size and length linesets.

Notes:

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

2.For Tubing Set lengths between 80 and 200 ft. (24.38 and 60.96 m) horizontal or 20 ft. (6.1 m) vertical differential 250 ft. (76.2 m) Total Equivalent Length), refer to the Residential Piping and Longline Guide line--- Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps using Puron refrigerant.
