INSTALLATION AND SERVICE MANUAL 959R
184981-02
The refrigerant couplings that connect
at the freezer and condensers elimi-
nate the need for initial field charging.
The coupling design prevent s air
inclusion and refrigerant loss during
connection. Follow these installation
procedures to insure leakproof connec-
tions (see Figure 6-1).
1. Remove protector caps and plugs
and examine the couplings for dirt
or foreign material. If necessary,
carefully wipe coupling seats and
threads with a clean, dry cloth.
2. Lubricate male half diaphragm and
synthetic rubber seal with POE
refrigerant oil.
3. Thread the coupling halves to-
gether by hand to insure proper
mating of threads. Use proper size
wrenches (on coupling body hex
and on union nut) and tighten until
coupling bodies “bottom” or definite
resistance is felt.
4. Using a pen or marker, mark a line
lengthwise from the coupling union
nut to the bulkhead panel. Then
tighten an additional ¼ turn (ap-
proximately 90°); the marked line
rotation on the coupling union nut
will indicate the amount the coupling
has been tightened. (See figure 6-4.)
If a torque wrench is used, the follow-
ing torque values are recommended:
3/8 in. OD liquid return line couplings:
18-20 ft-lbs
1/2 in. OD discharge line couplings:
30-35 ft-lbs
5. After connecting the condenser line
couplings at both the freezer and the
condensers, secure the condenser
lines to their permanent location with
U-type clamps.
6. Inspect all refrigerant tubing connec-
tions for leaks.
Important: Refrigerant does not
need to be added or removed at
installation, or as seasons change.
The freezer, condenser, and line
sets are factory-charged with the
proper amount of refrigerant for all
ambient conditions and for either
25 ft. or 50 ft. line lengths. The total
system charge is 10.5 lb. of R404a.
If a leak is found, recover the
refrigerant, repair the leak, evacu-
ate the system, and recharge with
10.5 lb. of R404a.
