HPXA15 Outdoor Unit

HPXA15 outdoor units use R410A which is an ozone
friendly HFC refrigerant. This unit must be installed with a
matching indoor coil and line set as outlined in the Lennox
Engineering Handbook. HPXA15 outdoor units are de-
signed for use in expansion valve (TXV) systems only.
They are not designed to be used with other refrigerant flow
control devices. An expansion valve approved for use with
R410A has been shipped with the unit and must be
installed prior to operating the unit.

Shipping and Packing List

 1 − Assembled HPXA15 outdoor unit

 2 − Grommets (for liquid and vapor lines)

Check equipment for shipping damage. If you find any
damage, immediately contact the last carrier.

RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

IMPORTANT

This unit must be matched with an indoor coil as
specified in Lennox’ Engineering Handbook. Coils
previously charged with R22 must be flushed.

WARNING

This product and/or the indoor unit it is matched with
may contain fiberglass wool.

Disturbing the insulation during installation, mainte-
nance, or repair will expose you to fiberglass wool
dust. Breathing this may cause lung cancer. (Fiber-
glass wool is known to the State of California to
cause cancer.)

Fiberglass wool may also cause respiratory, skin,
and eye irritation.

To reduce exposure to this substance or for further
information, consult material safety data sheets
available from address shown below, or contact your
supervisor.
