Liquid & Suction Line Service Valves
The liquid line and suction line service valves (figures 5 and
6) and gauge ports are accessible from outside the unit.
The service ports are used for leak testing, evacuating,
charging and checking charge.
The valves are equipped with a service port. A Schrader
valve is factory−installed. A service port cap is supplied to
protect the Schrader valve from contamination and to
serve as the primary leak seal.
To Access Schrader Port:
1 − Remove the service port cap with an adjustable wrench.
2 − Connect gauge to the service port.
3 − When testing is completed, replace the service port cap.
Tighten finger tight, then an additional 1/6 turn.
To Open Liquid or Suction Line Service Valve:
1 − Remove the stem cap with an adjustable wrench.
2 − Use a service wrench with a hex−head extension to
back the stem out counterclockwise until the valve
stem just touches the retaining ring.
DANGER
Do not attempt to backseat this valve. Attempts to
backseat this valve will cause snap ring to explode
from valve body under pressure of refrigerant. Per
sonal injury and unit damage will result.
3 − Replace the stem cap. Tighten finger tight, then tighten
an additional 1/6 turn.
