* Recommended vapor line insulation for piping exposed to outdoor
conditions to prevent loss of heating during heating cycle. When vapor
line goes through interior spaces, insulation should be selected to pre-
vent condensation on cooling cycle. Heating capacity should be re-
duced 1000 Btuh (295 W) if over 35 ft (11 m) of vapor line with

Make Piping Connections —
Piping connections at the CHS unit are ball valves with
stub tube extensions. Do not open the unit service valves
until all interconnecting tube brazing as been completed.
The stub tube connections include
1
/
4
-in SAE service fittings
with Schrader valve cores (see Fig. 7). Before making any
brazed connections to the unit service valves, remove both
Schrader valve caps and cores and save for re-installation.
Connect a source for nitrogen to one of these service fittings
during tube brazing to prevent the formation of copper
oxides inside the tubes at brazed joints.

Fig. 7 -- Typical Piping Connection Assembly
When connecting the field tubing to the CHS service
valves, wrap the valves in wet rags to prevent overheating
Pressure-test all joints from outdoor unit connections over
to the indoor coil, using nitrogen as pressure and with
soap-and-bubbles.
When pressure-testing is completed, remove the nitrogen
source at the outdoor unit service valves and re-install the
two Schrader valve cores. Torque the cores to 2-3 in-lbs
(23-34 N-cm).
Where vapor line is exposed to outdoor air, line must be
insulated. See Table 7 for insulation requirements.
Evacuation/Dehydration
—
Evacuate and dehydrate the connected refrigeration
system(s) (excluding the CHS unit) to 500 microns using a
two-stage vacuum pump attached to the service ports
outside the CHS service valves, following description in
GTAC II, Module 4, System Dehydration.
UNIT OPERATION AND SAFETY HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could cause personal
injury, death and/or equipment damage.
R--410A refrigerant systems operate at higher
pressures than standard R--22 systems. Do not use
R--22 service equipment or components on R--410A
refrigerant equipment.
!
WARNING
IMPORTANT
: Charge in Cooling mode only!
Preliminary Charge
—
Before starting the unit, charge R-410A liquid refrigerant
into the high side of each CHS circuit through the liquid
service valve(s). The amount of refrigerant added must be
at least 80% of the operating charge listed in Table 2 for
LINEAR line length LESS the factory charge quantity (if
factory shipping charge has not been removed). See the
following example.
