Compressors
The scroll compressor used in this product is specifically designed to operate with
This system uses
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.
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
POE (polyolester) compressor lubricants are known to cause long term damage to some synthetic roofing materials.
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.
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
Do not loosen compressor mounting bolts.
Phasing
Scroll compressors require proper rotation to operate properly. Failure to check and correct rotation may result in property damage.

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 National Fuel Gas Code Z223.1 or CSA B149.1 should be followed in all cases unless superseded by local codes or gas company requirements.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
3.Use wrought iron or steel pipe for all gas lines. Pipe dope should be applied sparingly to male threads only.
