2. Refer to the heat recovery unit PCB for valve group
control setting.
3. Maximum capacity of each port is 54,000 Btu/h and
eight (8) indoor units.
4.
Do not skip ports when connecting indoor
units. Start at port 1, then use 2, then use 3, then

Removing the Caps
Before brazing the field-supplied refrigerant piping to the heat recovery unit connections, the caps MUST be removed from the liquid, high
pressure vapor, and low pressure vapor pipe connections.
Removing the caps releases any gas present in the heat recovery unit. If the gas isn’t released, physical injury or death may occur from the uncon-
trolled rapid release of gas, or if the gas comes in contact with a flare during brazing and generates a poisonous gas.
Piping Connection Options
Heat recovery units can connect to the field-supplied refrigerant piping on the left side or on the right side. Heat recovery units can also be
installed in series / in parallel using these side connections.

On whichever port or pipe not used, the factory-provided cap must be removed, and that port / pipe must be recapped and insulated.
