WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard. Can cause injury
or death. Unit must be grounded in
accordance with national and local
codes.
Line voltage is present at all components
when unit is not in operation on units with
single-pole contactors. Disconnect all
remote electric power supplies before
opening access panel. Unit may have
multiple power supplies.
CAUTION
Physical contact with metal edges and corners while
applying excessive force or rapid motion can result in
personal injury. Be aware of, and use caution when
working near these areas during installation or while
servicing this equipment.
Operating Gauge Set and Service Valves
These instructions are intended as a general guide and do
not supersede local codes in any way. Consult authorities
who have jurisdiction before installation.
TORQUE REQUIREMENTS
When servicing or repairing heating, ventilating, and air
conditioning components, ensure the fasteners are
appropriately tightened. Table 1 lists torque values for
fasteners.
IMPORTANT
Only use Allen wrenches of sufficient hardness (50Rc −
Rockwell Harness Scale minimum). Fully insert the
wrench into the valve stem recess.
Service valve stems are factory−torqued (from 9 ft−lbs for
small valves, to 25 ft−lbs for large valves) to prevent
refrigerant loss during shipping and handling. Using an
Allen wrench rated at less than 50Rc risks rounding or
breaking off the wrench, or stripping the valve stem
recess.
See the Lennox Service and Application Notes #C−08−1
for further details and information.
IMPORTANT
To prevent stripping of the various caps used, the
appropriately sized wrench should be used and fitted
snugly over the cap before tightening.
Table 1. Torque Requirements
Parts Recommended Torque
Service valve cap 8 ft.− lb. 11 NM
Sheet metal screws 16 in.− lb. 2 NM
Machine screws #10 28 in.− lb. 3 NM
Compressor bolts 90 in.− lb. 10 NM
Gauge port seal cap 8 ft.− lb. 11 NM
USING MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
When checking the system charge, only use a manifold
gauge set that features low loss anti−blow back fittings.
Manifold gauge set used with HFC−410A refrigerant
systems must be capable of handling the higher system
operating pressures. The gauges should be rated for use
with pressures of 0 − 800 psig on the high side and a low
side of 30" vacuum to 250 psig with dampened speed to
500 psi. Gauge hoses must be rated for use at up to 800
psig of pressure with a 4000 psig burst rating.
OPERATING SERVICE VALVES
The liquid and vapor line service valves are used for
removing refrigerant, flushing, leak testing, evacuating,
checking charge and charging.
Each valve is equipped with a service port which has a
factory−installed valve stem. Figure 2 provides information
on how to access and operating both angle and ball service
valves.

Connect a gauge set, clean recovery cylinder and a recovery
machine to the service ports of the existing unit. Use the
instructions provided with the recovery machine to make the
connections.
METHOD 1:
Us this method if the existing outdoor unit is not equipped with shut−off valves, or if the unit is not operational and you plan to use the existing
HCFC−22 to flush the system.
Remove all HCFC−22 refrigerant from the existing system. Check gauges after shutdown to confirm that the entire system is completely void of
refrigerant.
METHOD 2:
Use this method if the existing outdoor unit is equipped with manual shut−off valves, and you plan to use new HCFC−22 refrigerant to flush the
system.
The following devices could prevent full system charge recovery into the outdoor unit:
Outdoor unit’s high or low−pressure switches (if applicable) when tripped can cycle the compressor OFF.
Compressor can stop pumping due to tripped internal pressure relief valve.
Compressor has internal vacuum protection that is designed to unload the scrolls (compressor stops pumping) when the pressure ratio meets
a certain value or when the suction pressure is as high as 20 psig. (Compressor suction pressures should never be allowed to go into a vacuum.
Prolonged operation at low suction pressures will result in overheating of the scrolls and permanent damage to the scroll tips, drive bearings and
internal seals.)
Once the compressor can not pump down to a lower pressure due to one of the above system conditions, shut off the vapor valve. Turn OFF the
main power to unit and use a recovery machine to recover any refrigerant left in the indoor coil and line set.
Perform the following task:
A Start the existing HCFC−22 system in the cooling mode and close the liquid line valve.
B Use the compressor to pump as much of the existing HCFC−22 refrigerant into the outdoor unit until the outdoor system is full. Turn the outdoor unit
main power OFF and use a recovery machine to remove the remaining refrigerant from the system.
NOTE  It may be necessary to bypass the low pressure switches (if equipped) to ensure complete refrigerant evacuation.
C When the low side system pressures reach 0 psig, close the vapor line valve.
D Check gauges after shutdown to confirm that the valves are not allowing refrigerant to flow back into the low side of the system.
RECOVERING
REFRIGERANT FROM SYSTEM
Remove existing HCFC−22 refrigerant using one of the following procedures:
RECOVERING REFRIGERANT

CAUTION
In order to avoid injury, take proper precaution when
lifting heavy objects.
See Unit Dimensions on page 3 for sizing mounting slab,
platforms or supports. Refer to figure 3 for mandatory
installation clearance requirements.
POSITIONING CONSIDERATIONS
Consider the following when positioning the unit:
Some localities are adopting sound ordinances based
on the unit’s sound level registered from the adjacent
property, not from the installation property. Install the
unit as far as possible from the property line.
When possible, do not install the unit directly outside
a window. Glass has a very high level of sound
transmission. For proper placement of unit in relation
to a window see the provided illustration in figure 4,
detail A.
PLACING UNIT ON SLAB
When installing unit at grade level, the top of the slab
should be high enough above grade so that water from
higher ground will not collect around the unit. The slab
should have a slope tolerance as described in figure 4,
detail B.
NOTE  If necessary for stability, anchor unit to slab as
described in figure 4, detail D.
ELEVATING THE UNIT
Units are outfitted with elongated support feet as illustrated
in figure 4, detail C.
If additional elevation is necessary, raise the unit by
extending the height of the unit support feet. This may be
achieved by using a 2 inch (50.8mm) Schedule 40 female
threaded adapter.
The specified coupling will fit snuggly into the recessed
portion of the feet. Use additional 2 inch (50.8mm)
Schedule 40 male threaded adaptors which can be
threaded into the female threaded adaptors to make
additional adjustments to the level of the unit.
NOTE  Keep the height of extenders short enough to
ensure a sturdy installation. If it is necessary to extend
further, consider a different type of field−fabricated
framework that is sturdy enough for greater heights.

ROOF MOUNTING
Install the unit a minimum of 6 inches (152 mm) above the
roof surface to avoid ice build−up around the unit. Locate
the unit above a load bearing wall or area of the roof that
can adequately support the unit. Consult local codes for
rooftop applications.
NOTICE
Roof Damage!
This system contains both refrigerant and oil. Some
rubber roofing material may absorb oil and cause the
rubber to swell when it comes into contact with oil. The
rubber will then bubble and could cause leaks. Protect
the roof surface to avoid exposure to refrigerant and oil
during service and installation. Failure to follow this
notice could result in damage to roof surface.
Removing and Installing Panels
IMPORTANT
Do not allow panels to hang on unit by top tab. Tab is for
alignment and not designed to support weight of panel.
WARNING
To prevent personal injury, or damage to panels, unit or
structure, be sure to observe the following:
While installing or servicing this unit, carefully stow all
removed panels out of the way, so that the panels will not
cause injury to personnel, nor cause damage to objects
or structures nearby, nor will the panels be subjected to
damage (e.g., being bent or scratched).
While handling or stowing the panels, consider any
weather conditions, especially windy conditions, that
may cause panels to be blown around and battered.
LOUVERED PANEL REMOVAL
Remove the louvered panels as follows:
1. Remove two screws, allowing the panel to swing open slightly.
2. Hold the panel firmly throughout this procedure. Rotate bottom corner of
panel away from hinged corner post until lower three tabs clear the slots as
illustrated in detail B.
3. Move panel down until lip of upper tab clears the top slot in corner post as
illustrated in detail A.
LOUVERED PANEL INSTALLATION
Position the panel almost parallel with the unit as illustrated in detail D with the
screw side as close to the unit as possible. Then, in a continuous motion:
1. Slightly rotate and guide the lip of top tab inward as illustrated in detail A and
C; then upward into the top slot of the hinge corner post.
2. Rotate panel to vertical to fully engage all tabs.
3. Holding the panel’s hinged side firmly in place, close the right−hand side of
the panel, aligning the screw holes.
4. When panel is correctly positioned and aligned, insert the screws and

New or Replacement Line Set
REFRIGERANT LINE SET
This section provides information on installation or
replacement of existing line set. If new or replacement line
set is not being installed then proceed to Brazing
Connections on page 12.
IMPORTANT
Lennox highly recommends changing line set when
converting the existing system from HCFC−22 to
HFC−410A.If that is not possible and the line set is the
proper size as reference in table 2, use the procedure
outlined under Flushing the System on page 13.
If refrigerant lines are routed through a wall, then seal and
isolate the opening so vibration is not transmitted to the
building. Pay close attention to line set isolation during
installation of any HVAC system. When properly isolated
from building structures (walls, ceilings. floors), the
refrigerant lines will not create unnecessary vibration and
subsequent sounds. See figure 6 for recommended
installation practices. Also, consider the following when
placing and installing a high−efficiency outdoor unit.
Liquid lines that meter the refrigerant, such as RFC1 liquid
lines, must not be used in this application. Existing line set
of proper size as listed in table 2 may be reused. If system
was previously charged with HCFC−22 refrigerant, then
existing line set must be flushed (see Flushing Line Set
and Indoor Coil on page15).
Field refrigerant piping consists of liquid and vapor lines
from the outdoor unit to the indoor unit coil (braze
connections). Use Lennox L15 (sweat, non−flare) series
line set, or field−fabricated refrigerant line sizes as listed in
table 2.
NOTE  When installing refrigerant lines longer than 50
feet, see the Lennox Refrigerant Piping Design and
Fabrication Guidelines, CORP. 9351−L9, or contact
Lennox Technical Support Product Applications for
assistance.
To obtain the correct information from Lennox, be sure to
communicate the following information:
Model (XC13) and size of unit (e.g. −036).
Line set diameters for the unit being installed as listed
in table 2 and total length of installation.
Number of elbows vertical rise or drop in the piping.
The compressor is charged with sufficient Polyol ester oil
for line set lengths up to 50 feet. Recommend adding oil to
system based on the amount of refrigerant charge in the
system. No need to add oil in system with 20 pounds of
refrigerant or less. For systems over 20 pounds − add one
ounce of every five pounds of refrigerant.
Recommended topping−off POE oils are Mobil EAL
ARCTIC 22 CC or ICI EMKARATERL32CF.
IMPORTANT
Mineral oils are not compatible with HFC−410A.If oil
must be added, it must be a Polyol Ester oil.

Polyol Ester (POE) oils used with HFC−410A
refrigerant absorb moisture very quickly. It is very
important that the refrigerant system be kept closed
as much as possible. DO NOT remove line set caps
or service valve stub caps until you are ready to make
connections.
WARNING
Danger of fire. Bleeding the refrigerant
charge from only the high side may result
in pressurization of the low side shell and
suction tubing. Application of a brazing
torch to a pressurized system may result
in ignition of the refrigerant and oil
mixture − Check the high and low
pressures before applying heat.
WARNING
When using a high pressure gas such as
dry nitrogen to pressurize a refrigeration
or air conditioning system, use a
regulator that can control the pressure
down to 1 or 2 psig (6.9 to 13.8 kPa).
CAUTION
Brazing alloys and flux contain materials which are
hazardous to your health.
Avoid breathing vapors or fumes from brazing
operations. Perform operations only in well−ventilated
areas.
Wear gloves and protective goggles or face shield to
protect against burns.
Wash hands with soap and water after handling brazing
alloys and flux.
IMPORTANT
Connect gauge set low pressure side to vapor line
service valve and repeat procedure starting at
paragraph 4 for brazing the liquid line to service port
valve.
IMPORTANT
Allow braze joint to cool before removing the wet rag
from the service valve. Temperatures above 250ºF can
damage valve seals.
IMPORTANT
Use silver alloy brazing rods with 5% minimum silver
alloy for copper−to−copper brazing. Use 45% minimum
alloy for copper−to−brass and copper−to−steel brazing.
WARNING
Fire, Explosion and Personal Safety
Hazard.
Failure to follow this warning could
result in damage, personal injury or
death.
Never use oxygen to pressurize or
purge refrigeration lines. Oxygen,
when exposed to a spark or open
flame, can cause fire and/or an ex-
plosion, that could result in property
damage, personal injury or death.

IMPORTANT
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prohibits
the intentional venting of HFC refrigerants during
maintenance, service, repair and disposal of appliance.
Approved methods of recovery, recycling or reclaiming
must be followed.
IMPORTANT
If this unit is being matched with an approved line set
or indoor unit coil which was previously charged with
mineral oil, or if it is being matched with a coil which
was manufactured before January of 1999, the coil
and line set must be flushed prior to installation. Take
care to empty all existing traps. Polyol ester (POE) oils
are used in Lennox units charged with HFC−410A
refrigerant. Residual mineral oil can act as an
insulator, preventing proper heat transfer. It can also
clog the expansion device, and reduce the system
performance and capacity.
Failure to properly flush the system per the
instructions below will void the warranty.
Leak Test Line Set and Indoor Coil
WARNING
When using a high pressure gas such as
dry nitrogen to pressurize a refrigeration
or air conditioning system, use a
regulator that can control the pressure
down to 1 or 2 psig (6.9 to 13.8 kPa).
IMPORTANT
Leak detector must be capable of sensing HFC
refrigerant.
WARNING
Refrigerant can be harmful if it is inhaled. Refrigerant
must be used and recovered responsibly.
Failure to follow this warning may result in personal injury
or death.

A With both manifold valves closed, connect the cylinder of HFC−410A refrigerant to the center port of the manifold gauge set. Open the valve
on the HFC−410A cylinder (vapor only).
B Open the high pressure side of the manifold to allow HFC−410A into the line set and indoor unit. Weigh in a trace amount of HFC−410A.[A
trace amount is a maximum of two ounces (57 g) refrigerant or three pounds (31 kPa) pressure]. Close the valve on the HFC−410A cylinder
and the valve on the high pressure side of the manifold gauge set. Disconnect the HFC−410A cylinder.
C Connect a cylinder of dry nitrogen with a pressure regulating valve to the center port of the manifold gauge set.
D Adjust dry nitrogen pressure to 150 psig (1034 kPa). Open the valve on the high side of the manifold gauge set in order to pressurize the line set
and the indoor unit.
E After a few minutes, open one of the service valve ports and verify that the refrigerant added to the system earlier is measurable with a leak
detector.
F After leak testing disconnect gauges from service ports.
After the line set has been connected to the indoor and outdoor units, check the line set connections and indoor unit for leaks. Use the
following procedure to test for leaks:
A Connect an HFC−410A manifold gauge set high pressure
hose to the vapor valve service port.
NOTE  Normally, the high pressure hose is connected to
the liquid line port. However, connecting it to the vapor port
better protects the manifold gauge set from high pressure
damage.
B With both manifold valves closed, connect the cylinder of
HFC−410A refrigerant to the center port of the manifold gauge
set.
NOTE  Later in the procedure,
the HFC−410A container will be
replaced by the nitrogen
container.

Evacuating Line Set and Indoor Coil
A Open both manifold valves and start the vacuum pump.
B Evacuate the line set and indoor unit to an absolute pressure of 23,000 microns (29.01 inches of mercury).
NOTE  During the early stages of evacuation, it is desirable to close the manifold gauge valve at least once. A rapid rise in pressure
indicates a relatively large leak. If this occurs, repeat the leak testing procedure.
NOTE  The term absolute pressure means the total actual pressure within a given volume or system, above the absolute zero of
pressure. Absolute pressure in a vacuum is equal to atmospheric pressure minus vacuum pressure.
C When the absolute pressure reaches 23,000 microns (29.01 inches of mercury), perform the following:
Close manifold gauge valves
Close valve on vacuum pump
Turn off vacuum pump
Disconnect manifold gauge center port hose from vacuum pump
Attach manifold center port hose to a dry nitrogen cylinder with pressure regulator set to 150 psig (1034 kPa) and purge the hose.
Open manifold gauge valves to break the vacuum in the line set and indoor unit.
Close manifold gauge valves.
D Shut off the dry nitrogen cylinder and remove the manifold gauge hose from the cylinder. Open the manifold gauge valves to release the
dry nitrogen from the line set and indoor unit.
E Reconnect the manifold gauge to the vacuum pump, turn the pump on, and continue to evacuate the line set and indoor unit until the
absolute pressure does not rise above 500 microns (29.9 inches of mercury) within a 20−minute period after shutting off the vacuum pump
and closing the manifold gauge valves.
F When the absolute pressure requirement above has been met, disconnect the manifold hose from the vacuum pump and connect it to an
upright cylinder of HFC−410A refrigerant. Open the manifold gauge valve 1 to 2 psig in order to release the vacuum in the line set and
indoor unit.

IMPORTANT
Use a thermocouple or thermistor electronic vacuum
gauge that is calibrated in microns. Use an instrument
capable of accurately measuring down to 50 microns.
WARNING
Danger of Equipment Damage. Avoid deep vacuum
operation. Do not use compressors to evacuate a
system. Extremely low vacuums can cause internal
arcing and compressor failure. Damage caused by
deep vacuum operation will void warranty.
Evacuating the system of non−condensables is critical for
proper operation of the unit. Non−condensables are
defined as any gas that will not condense under
temperatures and pressures present during operation of
an air conditioning system. Non−condensables and water
suction combine with refrigerant to produce substances
that corrode copper piping and compressor parts.
