NOTE: You may want to perform leak testing and evacuation before wiring
to save time, electrical connections can be completed while your vacuum
pump is running.
Additional Charge
Refrigerant for the pipe length of 25 feet has been charged at the factory. If the piping is greater than
25 feet additional charging is necessary. For the additional amount, see the table below.
Model Add’l Refrigerant (oz/ft (g/m)
18,000 0.3 (30)
24,000 0.6 (60)
30,000 0.6 (60)
36,000 0.6 (60)
42,000 0.6 (60)

Pipe Testing
Leak Test Refrigerant lines should be pressurized prior to evacuating system to check for leaks.
1. Connect regulated nitrogen to manifold. Attach hose to service port.
2. Open manifold valve to add nitrogen to a pressure of 500 lbs.
3. Maintain applied pressure for 30 minutes, leak-test flare fittings with soap bubbles. If no leak is
detected, release nitrogen.
Use vacuum pump, rather than refrigerant, to discharge air when installing the unit.
