Prior to March 1999, R-410A refrigerant cylinders had a dip
tube. These cylinders should be kept upright for equipment
charging. Post March 1999 cylinders do not have a dip
tube and should be inverted to ensure liquid charging of the
equipment.
• Do not install a suction line filter drier in the liquid line.
• A liquid line filter drier is standard on every unit.
• Desiccant (drying agent) must be compatible for POE oils
and R-410A.
3. Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV)
The Bi-Flow TXV is specifically designed to operate with
R-410A heat pumps. Replacement of the TXV should only
be made with the factory specified bi-flow R-410A valve.
Do not use an R-22 TXV.
