HSXA12 Outdoor Unit
HSXA12 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. HSXA12 outdoor units are de-
signed for use in expansion valve (TXV) and fixed orifice
systems. Refer to the Lennox Engineering Handbook for
expansion valve kits which must be ordered separately. A
filter dryer approved for use with R410A has been shipped
with the unit. This component must be installed prior to op-
erating the unit. Failure to install the provided filter dryer
will void the warranty.
Shipping and Packing List
1 − Assembled HSXA12 outdoor unit
1 − Liquid line filter drier (approved for use with R410A
systems)

Check equipment for shipping damage. If you find any
damage, immediately contact the last carrier.
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service
or maintenance can cause property damage, person-
al injury or loss of life. Installation and service must
be performed by a qualified installer or service
agency.
IMPORTANT
This unit must be matched with an indoor coil as
specified in Lennox’ Engineering Handbook. Coils
