too much torque the screw connections may
suffer damage. If you should not be confident
about connecting the refrigerant line connectors
yourself, it is imperative that you contact your
customer service team or a refrigeration
contractor.
Important! The EQ valves are only designed for
one-time installation. Their seal cannot be
guaranteed if they are installed on more than one
occasion. This will also void the warranty.
5.2 Connecting the refrigerant line
1. Remove the connection cover on the outdoor
equipment.
2. Do not remove the plastic seals from the outdoor
equipment and the appropriate refrigerant line
until immediately before you connect them.
3. Align the refrigerant lines correctly so that they
line up with the valves and are not stressed.
Place the screw connector on the refrigerant line
just on to the thread on the outdoor equipment
and tighten the first few threads by hand.
Note: The refrigerant lines must be connected to
the valves on the outdoor equipment with as little
stress as possible.
IMPORTANT! Before you continue, it is essential
that you read the following instructions carefully.
4. Now tighten the bottom screw connector first and
then the top screw connector using the open-
ended spanner.
Hold the points marked “A” using a 22 mm open-
ended spanner and turn the nuts only at the
positions marked “B” using a 24 mm open-ended
spanner.
Notes:
a) Never place the open-ended spanner in the
positions marked “X”.
b) Ensure that the screw connectors do not skew as
you tighten them and work quickly.
Important! Since the coupling works with tapping
rings, it may leak if you undo and reconnect the lines.
This will also void the warranty.
