Caps and Fasteners Torque Requirements
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
Corp.0807−L5 (C−08−1) for further details and
information.
When servicing or repairing HVAC equipment and
components, ensure the fasteners are appropriately
tightened. Table 1 list torque values for various caps and
fasteners.
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
Operating Gauge Set and Service Valves
IMPORTANT
To prevent stripping of the various caps used, the
appropriately sized wrench should be used and fitted
snugly over the cap before tightening.
OPERATING SERVICE VALVES
The liquid and vapor line service valves are used for
refrigerant recovery, flushing, leak testing, evacuating,
weighing in refrigerant and optimizing system charge.
Each valve is equipped with a service port which has a
factory−installed valve core. Figure 2 provides information
on how to access and operate both angle− and ball−type
service valves.
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 for HFC−410A refrigerant
systems must be capable of handling the higher system
operating pressures. The manifold gauges should be rated
for:
High side  Pressure range of 0 − 800 pound−force per
square inch gauge (psig)
Low side  Use with 30" vacuum to 250 psig with
dampened speed to 500 psig
Manifold gauge set hoses must be rated for use to 800
psig of pressure with a 4000 psig burst rating.

METHOD 1:
Use Method 1 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.
Recover all HCFC−22 refrigerant from the existing system using a recovery
machine and clean recovery cylinder. Check gauges after shutdown to confirm
that the entire system is completely void of refrigerant.
METHOD 2:
Use Method 2 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.
Perform the following task:
AStart the existing HCFC−22 system in the cooling mode and close the liquid line
valve.
BUse 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.
CWhen the low side system pressures reach 0 psig, close the vapor line valve.
DCheck gauges after shutdown to confirm that the valves are not allowing
refrigerant to flow back into the low side of the system.
Remove existing HCFC−22 refrigerant using one of the following procedures:

NOTE  Use the recovery machine instructions to make
the correct manifold gauge set connections for recovery
refrigerant. The illustration below is a typical connection.
NOTE  When using Method 2, the listed devices
below 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 any of the above mentioned 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.
METHOD 2 LIMITATIONS
Figure 3. Refrigerant Recovery
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.
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.

New Outdoor Unit Placement
CAUTION
In order to avoid injury, take proper precaution when lift-
ing heavy objects.
Remove existing outdoor unit prior to placement of new
outdoor unit. See Unit Dimensions on page 2 for sizing
mounting slab, platforms or supports. Refer to figure 4 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 5,
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 5,
detail B.
NOTE  If necessary for stability, anchor unit to slab as
described in figure 5, detail D.
ELEVATING THE UNIT
Units are outfitted with elongated support feet as illustrated
in figure 5, 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.
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. See figure 5, detail F for other roof top
mounting considerations.

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.

Line Set Requirements
This section provides information on: installation of new or
replacement line set.
Adding Polyol ester oil requirements
New or replacement line set installation
Using existing line set.
ADDING POLYOL ESTER OIL REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT
Mineral oils are not compatible with HFC−410A.If oil
must be added, it must be a Polyol Ester oil.
The compressor is charged with sufficient Polyol Ester oil
(POE) for line set lengths up to 50 feet. Recommend
adding oil to system based on the amount of refrigerant
charge in the system. Systems with 20 pounds or less of
refrigerant required no oil to be added.
For systems over 20 pounds − add one ounce for every five
(5) pounds of HFC−410A refrigerant.
Recommended topping−off POE oils are Mobil EAL
ARCTIC 22 CC or ICI EMKARATERL32CF.
NEW OR REPLACEMENT LINE SET INSTALLATION
Field refrigerant piping consists of both liquid and vapor
lines from the outdoor unit to the indoor coil. Use Lennox
L15 (sweat, non−flare) series line set, or field−fabricated
refrigerant line sizes as specified in table 2.
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 7 for recommended
installation practices.
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 (XP13) 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.
USING EXISTING LINE SET
Things to consider:
Liquid line that meter the refrigerant, such as RFC1
liquid line, 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 page 15).
If existing line set is being used, then proceed to Brazing
Connections on page 11.
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 Line Set and Indoor Coil on page
13.
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.

Brazing Connections
Use the procedures outline in figures 8 and 9 for brazing line set connections to service valves.
WARNING
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.
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
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.
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).

TEST FOR LEAKS
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:
1. 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).
2. 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.
3. Connect a cylinder of dry nitrogen with a pressure
regulating valve to the center port of the manifold
gauge set.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. After leak testing disconnect gauges from service
ports.

Evacuating Line Set and Indoor Coil
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.
AOpen both manifold valves and start the vacuum pump.
BEvacuate 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.
CWhen the absolute pressure reaches 23,000 microns (29.01 inches of mercury), perform the following:
Close manifold gauge valves
Close valve on vacuum pump and 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.
DShut 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.
EReconnect 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.
FWhen 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.
