NOTICE
Pay attention that mentioned torque range is applicable for
opening Ø19.1 mm stop valves only.
To close the stop valve
1
Remove the stop valve cover.

The valve is now closed.
Closing direction:
To handle the stop valve cover
▪ The stop valve cover is sealed where indicated by the arrow. Take
care not to damage it.
▪ After handling the stop valve, make sure to tighten the stop valve
cover securely. For the tightening torque, refer to the table below.
▪ Check for refrigerant leaks after tightening the stop valve cover.
To handle the service port
▪ Always use a charge hose equipped with a valve depressor pin,
since the service port is a Schrader type valve.
▪ After handling the service port, make sure to tighten the service
port cover securely. For the tightening torque, refer to the table
below.
▪ Check for refrigerant leaks after tightening the service port cover.

2
Connect the vacuuming/recovery unit through a manifold to the
service port of all stop valves.
You have to recover gas and oil from all 4 pinched pipes. Depending
on your available tools, use method 1 (manifold with refrigerant line
splitters required) or method 2.

When all gas and oil is recovered from the pinched piping,
disconnect the charge hose and close the service ports.
5
Cut off the lower part of the gas and liquid stop valve pipes
along the black line. Use an appropriate tool (e.g. a pipe cutter,
a pair of nippers).
