COIL UNDER PRESSURE.
Relieve pressure by depressing schrader stem. Coil may have fac-
tory installed TXV or may require orifice or TXV to be added. See
outdoor unit documentation for correct orifice or TXV to be used.
Refer to coil nameplate for orifice or TXV identification for this unit.
The coil should be open to the air for no more than 2 minutes to
keep moisture and contaminates from entering the system. If the
coil cannot be brazed into the refrigeration system in that time, the
ends should be temporarily closed or plugged. For a short term
delay, use masking tape over the ends of the copper tubing to close
the tube to the air. For a longer term delay, use plugs or caps.
There is no need to purge the coil if this procedure is followed.
