Plumbing (Continued): 

 

 

PRV Connection (13mm (1/2-inch) compression fitting) 

NOTE:

 The 210 kW – 288 kW units have two PRV connections. 

1)  Loosen and remove the compression nut.  Remove the sealing cap from plumbing 

connection and discard. 

2)  Test fit the tubing to ensure proper length.  The tubing must be plumbed to a non-

pressurized drain. 

3)  Slide the compression nut over the tubing. 

4)  Insert the tubing into the compression fitting.  Tighten the compression nut securely.  

 

 

Leak Pan Drain (1/2-inch FNPT (13mm) threaded connection) 

1)  Remove and discard the pipe plug.  

2)  Test fit the pipe or tubing to ensure proper length.  The tubing must be plumbed to a 

non-pressurized drain. 

3)  Cover the male pipe threads with PTFE tape or some other approved pipe thread 

sealant. 

4)  Engage threads into drain connection.  Tighten the threaded connection securely.  

 

Purge Gas Supply Connection (6mm (1/4-inch) compression fitting) 

1)  Loosen and remove the compression nut.  Remove the sealing cap from plumbing 

connection and discard. 

2)  Test fit the tubing to ensure proper length.  

3)  Slide the compression nut over the tubing. 

4)  Insert the tubing into the compression fitting.  Tighten securely. 

 

NOTE:

 There is no exhaust connection for the purge gas.  The purge gas 

is exhausted inside the cabinet and released into the air.
