Section 6. Refrigerant Line Routing

6.1 Precautions

Important: Comply with National, State, and Local Codes when isolating line sets from joists, rafters, walls, or

other structural elements.

Important: For buried linesets, see publication number SS-APG006-EN.

Important: Take precautions to prevent noise within the building structure due to vibration transmission from the

refrigerant lines.

Important: Take care that piping material, pipe routing, and installation shall include protection from physical

damage in operation and service, and be in compliance with national and local codes and standards, such as

ASHRAE 15, ASHRAE 15.2, IAPMO Uniform Mechanical Code, ICC International Mechanical Code, or CSA B52.

All field joints shall be accessible for inspection prior to being covered or enclosed.

Important: Take care to account for expansion and contraction of long runs of piping.

For Example:

• When the refrigerant lines must be fastened to floor joists or other framing in a structure, use isolation type

hangers.

• Isolation hangers should also be used when refrigerant lines are run in stud spaces or enclosed ceilings.

• Where the refrigerant lines run through a wall or sill, they should be insulated, isolated and servicable.

• Isolate the lines from all duct work.

• Minimize the number of 90° turns.

Section 7. Refrigerant Line Brazing

7.1 Braze The Refrigerant Lines

STEP 1 - Remove caps or plugs. Use a deburing tool to debur the pipe ends. Clean both internal and external

surfaces of the tubing using an emery cloth.

STEP 2 - Remove the pressure tap cap and valve cores from both service valves.

STEP 3 - Purge the refrigerant lines and indoor coil with dry nitrogen.

Purge the refrigerant lines and indoor coil with dry nitrogen.

Note: A2L equipment shall have red marked service ports and pipes through which refrigerant is serviced.

STEP 4 - Wrap a wet rag around the valve body to avoid heat damage and continue the dry nitrogen purge.

Braze the refrigerant lines to the service valves.

For units shipped with a field-installed external drier, check liquid line filter drier’s directional flow arrow to confirm

correct direction of refrigeration flow (away from outdoor unit and toward evaporator coil) as illustrated. Braze the

filter drier to the Liquid Line.

Continue the dry nitrogen purge. Do not remove the wet rag until all brazing is completed.

Important: Remove the wet rag before stopping the dry nitrogen purge.

Note: Install drier in Liquid Line.

NOTE:

Precautions should be taken to avoid heat damage to basepan during brazing. It is recommended to

keep the flame directly off of the basep

an.

STEP 5 - Replace the pressure tap valve cores and plastic tabs after the service valves have cooled.

Section 8. Refrigerant Line Leak Check

8.1 Check For Leaks

After completion of field piping for split systems, the field pipework shall be pressure tested with nitrogen and then

vacuum tested prior to refrigerant charging, according to the following requirements:

1. The minimum leak test pressure of the lineset and indoor coil shall be the high side design pressure, unless the

high side of the system, cannot be isolated from the low side of the system in which case the entire system

shall be pressure tested to the low side design pressure.

2. The test pressure after removal of pressure source shall be maintained for at least 1 hour with no decrease of

pressure indicated by the test gauge, with test gauge resolution not exceeding 5% of the test pressure.

Important: Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the searching for or detection of

refrigerant leaks.

Important: The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for all refrigerant systems:

• Electronic leak detectors calibrated for R454B

• Bubble method

STEP 1 - Pressurize the refrigerant lines and evaporator coil to 150 PSIG using dry nitrogen.

STEP 2 - Check for leaks by using a soapy solution or bubbles at each brazed location.

Note: Remove nitrogen pressure and repair any leaks before continuing.

STEP 3 - Once the initial leak check is complete, complete a system pressure test. Pressurize the system to the

design pressure of the system for a minimum of 60 minutes. Do not add additional refrigerant or test gas after

reaching the design pressure. The system should show no loss of pressure once pressurized. Once the pressure

test is complete follow the steps for evacuation.

Section 9. Evacuation

9.1 Evacuate the Refrigerant Lines and Indoor Coil

Important: Do not open the service valves until the refrigerant lines and indoor coil leak check and evacuation

are complete.

STEP 1 - Evacuate until the micron gauge reads no higher than 350 microns, then close off the valve to the

vacuum pump.

STEP 2 - Observe the micron gauge. Evacuation is complete, if the micron gauge does not rise above

500 microns in one (1) minute and 1500 microns in ten (10) minutes.

Once evacuation is complete, blank off the vacuum pump and micron gauge, and close the valve on the manifold

gauge set.

Section 10. Service Valves

10.1 Open the Gas Service Valve

Important: Leak check and evacuation must be completed before opening the service valves.

NOTE: Do not vent refrigerant gases into the atmosphere.

STEP 1 - Remove valve stem cap.

STEP 2 - Using an adjustable wrench, turn valve stem 1/4 turn counterclockwise to the fully open position.

STEP 3 - Replace the valve stem cap to prevent leaks. Tighten finger tight plus an additional 1/6 turn.

18-AC129D1-1B-EN 9

10.2 Open the Liquid Service Valve

Important: Leak check and evacuation must be completed before opening the service valves.

STEP 1 - Remove service valve cap.

STEP 2 - Fully insert 3/16” hex wrench into the stem and back out counterclockwise until valve stem just touches

the rolled edge (approximately five (5) turns.)

STEP 3 - Replace the valve cap to prevent leaks. Tighten finger tight plus an additional 1/6 turn.

SERVICE VALVES!

Failure to follow this warning will result in abrupt

release of system charge and may result in personal injury and/or property damage. Extreme caution should be

exercised when opening the Suction and Liquid Line Service Valve. Turn valve stem counterclockwise only until
