5--Ton Suction Line (Ball Type) Service Valve

A ball-type full service valve only is used on five ton units
(10ACB60/62). These suction line service valves function
the same way, differences are in construction. Valves are
not rebuildable. If a valve has failed it must be re-
placed. A ball valve valve is illustrated in figure 6.
The ball valve is equipped with a service port. A
schrader valve is factory installed. A service port cap
is supplied to protect the schrader valve from con-
tamination and assure a leak free seal.

After the line set has been connected to the indoor and
outdoor units, the line set connections and indoor unit
must be checked for leaks.

WARNING

Never use oxygen to pressurize refrigeration or air

conditioning system. Oxygen will explode on con-

tact with oil and could cause personal injury. When

using high pressure gas such as nitrogen or CO

2

for

this purpose, be sure to use a regulator that can

control the pressure down to 1 or 2 psig.

Using an Electronic Leak Detector or Halide

1-- Connect cylinder of HCFC-22 to center port of man-

ifold gauge set.

2-- With both manifold valves closed, open the valve

on the HCFC-22 bottle (vapor only).

3-- Open the high pressure side of the manifold to al-

low HCFC-22 into the line set and indoor unit.
Weigh in a trace amount of HCFC-22. (A trace
amount is a maximum of 2 ounces or 3 pounds
pressure.) Close the valve on the HCFC-22 bottle
and the valve on the high pressure side of the man-
ifold gauge set. Disconnect HCFC-22 bottle.

4-- Connect a cylinder of nitrogen with a pressure reg-

ulating valve to the center port of the manifold
gauge set.
