Refrigerant Piping Guidelines
Refrigerant Piping Procedures
(Outdoor units)
Each TTA unit ships with dry nitrogen
holding charge. Due to this minimal
amount, we recommend that it be
removed and the entire system
evacuated (at the proper time) to avoid
possible contamination.
1. Remove the compressor service
access panel.
2. Locate the liquid and suction line
service valves. Check that the
piping connection stubs on the
valves (Figure 1) line up properly
with the holes in the unit cabinet.
3. Front-seat (close) both of the
service valves must be closed
before the system is opened.

puncturing the seal caps on the

punctured with the valves open, the
refrigerant contained in each circuit
will be lost.
unless they have been punctured. If
caps are intact, application of heat
may generate excessive pressure in
the connection stub, causing personal
injury or death due to rupturing of
components and damage to the
service valve.
4. Heat and remove the seal caps.

Refrigerant Piping Procedure
(Indoor Unit)
Once liquid and suction lines are
complete to the refrigerant
connections on the indoor unit, heat
and remove the seal caps on the
indoor unit connection stubs to
release the dry nitrogen charge.
Caution:
Install a regulating valve

1. Remove both seal caps from the
indoor unit connection stubs.
2. Turn nitrogen supply on. Nitrogen
enters through the liquid line
gauge port.
3. Braze the liquid line connections.
4. Open the gauge port on the suction
line and then braze suction line to
the connection stub. Nitrogen will
bleed out the open gauge port on
the suction line.
5. Shut off nitrogen supply.
Leak Check
After the brazing operation of
refrigerant lines to both the outdoor

for leaks. Pressurize the system
through the service valve with dry
nitrogen to 400 psi. Use soap bubbles
or other leak-checking methods to

If not, release pressure, repair and
repeat leak test.
Caution:
Do not remove seal caps
until prepared to braze refrigerant lines
to the connections. Extended exposure
to atmosphere may allow moisture or
dirt to contaminate the system,
damaging system components.
