Refrigerant Piping - Install Indoor Expansion Valve
This outdoor unit is designed for use in systems that include an expansion valve metering device (purchased separately) at
the indoor coil. See the Product Specifications for approved expansion valve kit match-ups and application information. The
check expansion valve unit can be installed internal or external to the indoor coil. In applications where an uncased coil is
being installed in a field-provided plenum, install the check/expansion valve in a manner that will provide access for future
field service of the expansion valve. Refer to below illustration for reference during installation of expansion valve unit.
1 - Attach the vapor line sensing bulb in the proper
orientation as illustrated to the right using the clamp and
screws provided.
NOTE - Though it is preferred to have the sensing bulb
installed on a horizontal run of the vapor line, installation
on a vertical run of piping is acceptable if necessary.
NOTE - Confirm proper thermal contact between vapor
line and check/expansion bulb before insulating the
sensing bulb once installed.
2 - Connect the equalizer line from the check expansion
valve to the equalizer vapor port on the vapor line. Finger
tighten the flare nut plus 1/8 turn (7 ft-lbs) as illustrated
below.

rings around the
stubbed end of the check expansion valve and lightly
lubricate the connector threads and expose surface of
the Teflon

ring with refrigerant oil.
4 -
Attach the stubbed end of the check expansion valve to
the liquid line orifice housing. Finger tighten and use an
appropriately sized wrench to turn an additional 1/2 turn
clockwise as illustrated in the figure above, or tighten to
20 ft-lb.
5 - Place the remaining Teflon

washer around the other
end of the check expansion valve. Lightly lubricate
connector threads and expose surface of the Teflon

ring with refrigerant oil.
6 -
Attach the liquid line assembly to the check expansion
valve. Finger tighten and use an appropriately sized
wrench to turn an additional 1/2 turn clockwise as
illustrated in the figure above or tighten to 20 ft-lb.
