Fig. 1—Mount Unit to Pad
Before installing, modifying, or servicing system, main elec-
trical disconnect switch must be in the OFF position. There
may be more than 1 disconnect switch. Lock out and tag
switch with a suitable warning label. Electrical shock can
cause personal injury or death.
3. Remove lock nut and ferrule from plastic bag taped to service
panel. (See Fig. 4.) Remove the lock nut and ferrule from
liquid service valve adapter. (See Fig. 3.)
INSTALLATION
Step 1—Mount Unit to Pad
If undersized, damaged, or elliptically shaped tubing is used
when making connection, leaks could result.
Refer to Fig. 1 for pad dimensions and dimensions needed to
mount unit to pad.
4. Slide the lock nut and ferrule onto each tube. (See Fig. 5.)
Step 2—Refrigerant Tubing
5. Apply a few drops of refrigerant oil to the ferrule and valve
threads and adapter threads to reduce assembly torque and
assist sealing.
Refer to Fig. 2 for refrigerant tube dimensions and connections.
Step 3—Mechanical Connection (38YCP Model)
1. Remove plastic retainer holding outdoor piston and piston
retainer in the liquid service valve. Connect and tighten the
liquid service valve adapter to the valve body prior to
assembling ferrule/lock nut. (See Fig. 3.)
6. Insert tube end into the service valve or adapter until it
bottoms.
7. Push the ferrule into place and hand tighten the nut until an
increase in torque is felt.
2. Cut tubing to the correct length, deburr and size as necessary,
making sure tube ends are square. If a large burr is evident, the
ID and OD must be deburred to allow the tube to bottom in
valve.
8. Mark the nut and tube and tighten 1-1/2 turns from the mark.
(See Fig. 6.) Keep the tube bottomed in the valve and adapter
while tightening nut.
