6.9 Connecting a Liebert XDV with Liebert Flex Pipe to an Operational Liebert XD System
NOTICE
Before connecting the Liebert XDV with Liebert Flex Pipe to the prefabricated piping mains,
check the whole system for leaks.
Check the Liebert XDV to ensure that the unit has no refrigerant leaks.
Read all instructions before beginning installation.

Tools Required

• Two adjustable wrenches, with a maximum adjustment size of 2-1/2 inches
•Two ladders
• Lifting mechanism if the Liebert XDV is going to be suspended above the cabinet
1. Determine the port location of the supply and return pipi ng overhead
2. Make sure the service valve for each port is closed
3. Remove cap for only the required ports. Do not remove caps from the unused ports.
4. Once Step 3 has been completed, remove the pipe plugs that are supplied on the Liebert Flex
Pipe on the Liebert XDV.

5. Use system refrigerant to lubricate the face of the male coupling half, including the poppet valve
face and the stainless steel delta ring.
6. Thread the return couplers together, the larger of the two couplers (Liebert Flex Pipe and return
main).
7. Use one of the adjustable wrenches to hold the fixed side of the female coupler on the Liebert XDV
stationary. With the other adjustable wrench, tighten the collar onto the coupler.
Tighten these only until the force required to tighten abruptly increases. See Figure 29.
NOTICE
Do not overtighten the couplers. Overtightening of couplers will damage the couplers.
NOTE
This operation requires two or more people.
