Refrigerant lines must be connected by a licensed, EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with established procedures.

IMPORTANT:

■Connecting refrigerant lines must be clean, dehydrated, refrigerant-grade copper lines. Heat pumps should be installed only with specified line sizes for approved system combinations with elevation differences up to 15 ft and total length of up to 50 ft. See the Suction Line Sizes and Liquid Line Sizes charts later in this section.

■Avoid sharp bends or possible kinking in the refrigerant lines during installation as this may cause a reduction in performance.

■Use care with the refrigerant lines during the installation process. Sharp bends or possible kinking in the lines will cause a reduction in performance.

■To avoid contamination of the refrigerant system, do not remove the caps from the lines or system connection points until connections are ready to be completed.

Install Thermal Expansion Valve

W4GH6 heat pumps are designed for use with thermal expansion valve systems only. An R-410A system will not operate properly with an R-22 thermal expansion valve.

Thermal expansion valves equipped with Chatleff-type fittings are available from the manufacturer. See Thermal Expansion Valve Kits chart in “System Requirements.”

A. Distributor	D. Liquid line stub
B. Teflon® seal	E. Strainer
C. Thermal expansion valve	F. Teflon® seal

To install the thermal expansion valve:

1.Separate the distributor assembly.

2.If a piston orifice is installed, remove the piston orifice and old Teflon® seal and discard.

3.Insert nozzle end of the thermal expansion valve along with a new Teflon® seal into the distributor.

4.Tighten to 20 to 30 ft lbs. Use backup wrench on all wrench flats.

NOTE: Overtightening may crush the Teflon® seal and cause a leak.

5.Attach liquid line portion of distributor assembly along with new Teflon® seal to the inlet of the thermal expansion valve.
