FINAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
Triple Evacuation Procedure
After the leak / pressure check is complete, it is a best practices recommendation that a triple evacuation procedure is performed to the
refrigerant piping and the connected indoor unit. Triple evacuation must be performed through the gas (vapor) suction Schrader port on the
outdoor unit service port.
The deep evacuation procedure is required for Single Zone systems. The triple evacuation procedure is a best practices recommendation for Single
Zone systems.

before operating the system.
Evacuate through just the gas (vapor) suction Schrader port on the outdoor unit service port.
The outdoor unit service valves must remain closed and the stem head access caps tight.
Do not open the outdoor unit service valves
and release the factory refrigerant charge until trim charge is complete, and the system is ready to operate.
Any field-installed ball valves in the refrigerant system (if used) must be open to ensure all piping is free and clear for evacuation on all pip-
ing and connected indoor unit.
Never perform evacuation using refrigerant.

Subsequent oil changes will be necessary after several hours of continuous operation; have extra oil on hand.
Use a quality micron gauge in good operating order and install as far away from pump as possible.
Deep Evacuation Procedure, continued.
2. Connect the gauge manifold along with the vacuum pump to the gas (vapor) suction Schrader
port (with core removed) using a vacuum hose. Open the gauge manifold and the vacuum
pump valves.

system may contain moisture; therefore, it will be necessary to repeat the steps of vacuum
break and drying.
5. After maintaining the system in vacuum for two (2) hours, check if the vacuum gauge rises or
not. If it doesn’t rise, then the system is properly evacuated.
6. Close the manifold gauge.
7. Shut the valves before turning off and disconnecting the vacuum pump.
