Fabricated
If the XC15 is being used with either a new or existing
indoor coil which is equipped with a liquid line which served
as a metering device (RFCI), the liquid line must be
replaced prior to the installation of the XC15 unit. Typically
a liquid line used to meter flow is 1/4" in diameter and
copper.
INSTALLING LINE SET
Line Set IsolationThis reference illustrates
procedures, which ensure proper refrigerant line set
isolation:
S Installation of line set on horizontal runs is
illustrated in figure 16.
S Installation of a transition from horizontal to
vertical is illustrated in figure 17.
S Installation of line set on vertical runs is illustrated in
figure 18.

Brazing Line Set Connections
Use the following procedure to braze the line set to the new
air conditioner unit. Figure 19 on page 10 is provided as a
general guide for preparing to braze the line set to the air
conditioner unit.
