INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSAIR CONDITIONING & HEAT PUMP INDOOR COILSINTRODUCTIONVexar coils are designed specifically for use with various models of manufactured housing gas furnaces or electric furnaces in bothdown-flow and up-flow applications, as long as the coil was manufactured after 03/01/08 as shown in the serial number. A metal panwill be required on up flow oil furnaces.These instructions are prim arily intended to assist qualified individuals trained and experienced in the proper installationof this type of equipm ent. Som e state codes require insta llation and service personnel to be licensed. R efer toauthorities having jurisdiction for additional guidance. R em em ber that the C lean A ir A ct of 1990 requires techniciancertification for handling refrigerant.NOTE: EFFICIENCY AND CAPACITY RATINGS ARE LISTED IN CURRENT AHRI UNITARY DIRECTORY FORVEXAR COIL MODEL NUMBERS MATCHED WITH OUTDOOR CONDENSING OR HEAT PUMP UNITS.

THEREFORE,AFTER THE SUCTION AND LIQUID LINE HAVE BEEN PROPERLYCONNECTED TO THE COIL THE BULB CAN NOW BE MOUNTED ON THESUCTION LINE. MANY TIMES, DUE TO SPACE LIMITATIONS INMANUFACTURED HOUSING APPLICATIONS IT WILL REQUIRE THESENSOR BULB TO BE MOUNTED VERTICALLY. IF THAT IS THECASE THE BULB SHOULD BE LOCATED AT LEAST 6” AWAY FROMANY BEND (ELBOW) AND FASTENED ON THE TUBING SIDEOPPOSITE THE PLANE OF THE BEND. THE BULB SHOULD BEINSULATED USING THERMAL INSULATION TO PROTECT IT FROM THEEFFECTS OF THE SURROUNDING AMBIENT TEMPERATURE.(SEE PAGE 5)NOTE!CAUTION!ALL SWEAT CONNECT COILS ARE SHIPPED FROM THE FACTORYPRESSURIZED WITH NITROGEN. THEY DO NOT CONTAIN ANYHCFC22. ALL QUICK CONNECT COILS ARE SHIPPED WITH A HCFC22HOLDING CHARGE.VEXAR COILS AND OTHER ACCESSORIES INSTALLED WHEN AIRCONDITIONING IS ADDED TO MANUFACTURED HOUSING FURNACESWILL COMPLY TO HUD REGULATIONS REQUIRING THIRD PARTYAPPROVALS. EFFICIENCY AND CAPACITY RATINGS AS REQUIRED BYHUD ARE LISTED IN CURRENT AHRI DIRECTORY FOR VEXAR MATCHEDWITH OUTDOOR UNITS.

C oils w ith sw eatconnections are shipped w ith a nitrogen holdingcharge w hile coils equipped w ith quick connectsare shipped w ith a H C F C 22 holding charge.ALL COILS SHOULD BE CHECKED FORPRESSURE BEFORE INSTALLATION! IFTHERE IS NO PRESSURE PRESENT, THECOIL MAY HAVE DEVELOPED A LEAKDURING SHIPMENT AND SHOULD BERETURNED TO THE POINT OF PURCHASEFOR EXCHANGE.O n a quick connect coil, test for pressure by pushingagainst the diaphragm located inside the quick connectfitting on the suction m anifold. If you are not able todepress the diaphragm , the coil contains a H C F C 22holding charge.To test for pressure on a coil equipped w ith sw eatfittings, depress the shrader valve located on thesuction m anifold.2.3.4.5.6.7.The blo w er and duct system m ust be properlysized in order to provide a dequate cooling andheating perform ance.

THERMAL EXPANSION VALVEINSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSA. INTRODUCTIONThermal expansion valve (TXV) can be used on both heatpump and air conditioning applications. All TXVs have abuilt-in check valve making them heat pump capable. Allare externally equalized with non-adjustable superheatand are available with non-bleed construction. Hard startcapability for outdoor units is required when non-bleedvalve is used. The external equalizer line attached to theTXV has a female flare nut with built in Schrader valvedepressor that attaches to the Schrader valve portprovided on most coils.5.6.B. INSTALLATION NOTESWith reference to Figure 1, the TXV assembly is to beinstalled between the flowrator distributor and theexisting liquid line attached to the flowrator distributor.WARNING: COIL IS PRESSURIZED.RELIEVE PRESSURE BEFORE INSTALLING TXVBY DEPRESSING SCHRADER VALVE ON COILMANIFOLD IF NITROGEN, OR RECLAIMREFRIGERANT IF COIL HAS HOLDING CHARGE.Remove the cap on Schrader valve port on coilmanifold. Attach equalizer tubing with 1/4” femaleflare nut that includes depressor to this male Schraderport. Torque flare nut to 10-30 ft. lb. If using adifferent brand TXV, you must remove theschrader valve core prior to attaching theequalizer tube.Install the TXV bulb to the suction manifold of coil orthe suction line using the two bulb clamps, or singlelarge clamp, furnished with kit.a. Bulb should be installed on a horizontal run ofthe manifold if possible. On line 7/8” OD andsmaller the bulb should be installed at 2 or 10o’clock. With line larger than 7/8” OD, the bulbshould be installed in a position of about 4 or 8o’clock.10 O'CLOCK2 O'CLOCKSENSING BULBSTRAPSUCTION TUBEC. INSTALLATION STEPS ARE AS FOLLOWS:1. After coil pressure has been relieved, turn the femaleswivel nut counter-clockwise to remove.2. Remove the piston from the flowrator distributorfitting using a small diameter wire or paper clip(ALWAYS REMOVE THE PISTON FROMDISTRIBUTOR BODY WHEN TXV ISINSTALLED).3. Attach the TXV by connecting the female swivel nuton TXV outlet to the flowrator distributor (aligningTeflon seal first) and torque swivel nut to 10-30 ft. lb.4.
