PLUMBING
Field refrigerant piping consists of liquid and suction
lines from the condensing unit (sweat connections) to
the indoor evaporator coil (flare or sweat connections).
Use Lennox L10 (flare) or L15 (sweat, non-flare) series
line sets as shown in table 1 or use field-fabricated re-
frigerant lines. Refer to unit information manual piping
section for proper size, type and application of field--
fabricated lines.
Sweat Connection Procedure
1-- Ends of refrigerant lines must be cut square, free
from nicks or dents, deburred. Pipe must remain
round, do not pinch end of line.
2-- Wrap a wet cloth around the liquid line valve body
and copper tube stub to protect from heat damage
during brazing. Wrap another wet cloth underneath
the liquid valve to protect the base paint.
3-- Quench the joints with a wet cloth to prevent possible
heat damage to the valve core and opening port.
4-- A field provided filter drier should be installed as
close as possible to the expansion device.
REFRIGERANT METERING DEVICE
10ACB units are applicable to either RFCIV or an expan-
sion valve system. See indoor coil installation instruc-
tions and the Lennox engineering handbook for ap-
proved RFC and TXV match-ups and application
information. Table 1 lists 10ACB unit liquid and suction
line sizes and corresponding line sets.

NOTE -- Line length should be no greater than 50 feet

sure oil return to compressor.
RFC Systems
10ACB units are shipped with an RFCIV metering de-
vice. Replace existing RFCIV in indoor unit with RFCIV
supplied with the outdoor unit. Place the supplied
RFCIV sticker on indoor cabinet after installation. See
table 2 for size of RFCIV bullet shipped in each 10ACB
unit. In cases of non-traditional applications, RFCIV
bullet shipped may not be appropriate. Refer to the in-
door coil installation instructions and the engineering
handbook for specific orifice information.
