1 General safety precautions

WARNING

Take sufficient precautions in case of refrigerant leakage. If refrigerant gas leaks, ventilate the area immediately. Possible risks:

▪Excessive refrigerant concentrations in a closed room can lead to oxygen deficiency.

▪Toxic gas may be produced if refrigerant gas comes into contact with fire.

DANGER: RISK OF EXPLOSION

Pump down – Refrigerant leakage. If you want to pump down the system, and there is a leakage in the refrigerant circuit:

▪Do NOT use the unit's automatic pump down function, with which you can collect all refrigerant from the system into the outdoor unit. Possible consequence:

Self-combustion and explosion of the compressor because of air going into the operating compressor.

▪Use a separate recovery system so that the unit's compressor does NOT have to operate.

WARNING

Always recover the refrigerant. Do NOT release them directly into the environment. Use a vacuum pump to evacuate the installation.

NOTICE

After all the piping has been connected, make sure there is no gas leak. Use nitrogen to perform a gas leak detection.

NOTICE

▪To avoid compressor breakdown, do NOT charge more than the specified amount of refrigerant.

▪When the refrigerant system is to be opened, refrigerant must be treated according to the applicable legislation.

WARNING

Make sure there is no oxygen in the system. Refrigerant may only be charged after performing the leak test and the vacuum drying.

▪In case re-charge is required, refer to the nameplate of the unit. It states the type of refrigerant and necessary amount.

▪The unit is factory charged with refrigerant and depending on pipe sizes and pipe lengths some systems require additional charging of refrigerant.

▪Only use tools exclusively for the refrigerant type used in the system, this to ensure pressure resistance and prevent foreign materials from entering into the system.

▪Charge the liquid refrigerant as follows:

If	Then
A siphon tube is present	Charge with the cylinder upright.
(i.e., the cylinder is marked with
"Liquid filling siphon attached")
A siphon tube is NOT present	Charge with the cylinder upside
	down.

▪Open refrigerant cylinders slowly.

▪Charge the refrigerant in liquid form. Adding it in gas form may prevent normal operation.

CAUTION

When the refrigerant charging procedure is done or when pausing, close the valve of the refrigerant tank immediately. If the valve is not closed immediately, remaining pressure might charge additional refrigerant.

Possible consequence: Incorrect refrigerant amount.

1.2.4Brine

If applicable. See the installation manual or installer reference guide of your application for more information.

WARNING

The selection of the brine MUST be in accordance with the applicable legislation.

WARNING

Take sufficient precautions in case of brine leakage. If brine leaks, ventilate the area immediately and contact your local dealer.

WARNING

The ambient temperature inside the unit can get much higher than that of the room, e.g. 70°C. In case of a brine leak, hot parts inside the unit can create a hazardous situation.

WARNING

The use and installation of the application MUST comply with the safety and environmental precautions specified in the applicable legislation.

1.2.5Water

If applicable. See the installation manual or installer reference guide of your application for more information.

NOTICE

Make sure water quality complies with EU directive 98/83 EC.

1.2.6Electrical

DANGER: RISK OF ELECTROCUTION

▪Turn OFF all power supply before removing the switch box cover, connecting electrical wiring or touching electrical parts.

▪Disconnect the power supply for more than 1 minute, and measure the voltage at the terminals of main circuit capacitors or electrical components before servicing. The voltage MUST be less than 50 V DC before you can touch electrical components. For the location of the terminals, see the wiring diagram.

▪Do NOT touch electrical components with wet hands.

▪Do NOT leave the unit unattended when the service cover is removed.

WARNING

If NOT factory installed, a main switch or other means for disconnection, having a contact separation in all poles providing full disconnection under overvoltage category III condition, MUST be installed in the fixed wiring.

2 About the documentation

WARNING

▪ONLY use copper wires.

▪Make sure the field wiring complies with the applicable legislation.

▪All field wiring must be performed in accordance with the wiring diagram supplied with the product.

▪NEVER squeeze bundled cables and make sure they do not come in contact with the piping and sharp edges. Make sure no external pressure is applied to the terminal connections.

▪Make sure to install earth wiring. Do NOT earth the unit to a utility pipe, surge absorber, or telephone earth. Incomplete earth may cause electrical shock.

▪Make sure to use a dedicated power circuit. NEVER use a power supply shared by another appliance.

▪Make sure to install the required fuses or circuit breakers.

▪Make sure to install an earth leakage protector. Failure to do so may cause electric shock or fire.

▪When installing the earth leakage protector, make sure it is compatible with the inverter (resistant to high frequency electric noise) to avoid unnecessary opening of the earth leakage protector.

NOTICE

Precautions when laying power wiring:

▪Do not connect wiring of different thicknesses to the power terminal block (slack in the power wiring may cause abnormal heat).

▪When connecting wiring which is the same thickness, do as shown in the figure below.

▪For wiring, use the designated power wire and connect firmly, then secure to prevent outside pressure being exerted on the terminal board.

▪Use an appropriate screwdriver for tightening the terminal screws. A screwdriver with a small head will damage the head and make proper tightening impossible.

▪Over-tightening the terminal screws may break them.

Install power cables at least 1 metre away from televisions or radios to prevent interference. Depending on the radio waves, a distance of 1 metre may not be sufficient.

WARNING

▪After finishing the electrical work, confirm that each electrical component and terminal inside the electrical components box is connected securely.

▪Make sure all covers are closed before starting up the unit.

NOTICE

Only applicable if the power supply is three phase, and the compressor has an ON/OFF starting method.

If there exists the possibility of reversed phase after a momentary black out and the power goes on and off while the product is operating, attach a reversed phase protection circuit locally. Running the product in reversed phase can break the compressor and other parts.

5.1Overview: Application guidelines

The purpose of the application guidelines is to give a glance of the possibilities of the Daikin heat pump system.

NOTICE

▪The illustrations in the application guidelines are meant for reference only, and are NOT to be used as detailed hydraulic diagrams. The detailed hydraulic dimensioning and balancing are NOT shown, and are the responsibility of the installer.

▪For more information about the configuration settings to optimize heat pump operation, see "8 Configuration" on page 41.

This chapter contains application guidelines for:

▪Setting up the space heating system

▪Setting up the domestic hot water tank

▪Setting up the energy metering

▪Setting up the power consumption

▪Setting up an external temperature sensor

5.2Setting up the space heating system

The Daikin heat pump system supplies leaving water to heat emitters in one or more rooms.

Because the system offers a wide flexibility to control the temperature in each room, you need to answer the following questions first:

▪How many rooms are heated by the Daikin heat pump system?

▪Which heat emitter types are used in each room and what is their design leaving water temperature?

Once the space heating requirements are clear, Daikin recommends to follow the setup guidelines below.

NOTICE

If an external room thermostat is used, the external room thermostat will control the room frost protection. However, the room frost protection is only possible if the leaving water temperature control on the unit's user interface is turned ON.

INFORMATION

In case an external room thermostat is used and room frost protection needs to be guaranteed in all conditions, then you have to set auto emergency [A.6.C] to 1.

5.2.1Multiple rooms – Two LWT zones

This unit is designed to deliver water at 2 different temperatures. A typical installation consists of underfloor heating at a lower temperature and radiators at a higher water temperature.

5.3.2Selecting the volume and desired temperature for the DHW tank

People experience water as hot when its temperature is 40°C. Therefore, the DHW consumption is always expressed as equivalent hot water volume at 40°C. However, you can set the DHW tank temperature at a higher temperature (example: 53°C), which is then mixed with cold water (example: 15°C).

Selecting the desired temperature for the DHW tank consists of:

1Determining the DHW consumption (equivalent hot water volume at 40°C).

2Determining the desired temperature for the DHW tank.

Energy saving tips

▪If the DHW consumption differs from day to day, you can program a weekly schedule with different desired DHW tank temperatures for each day.

▪The lower the desired DHW tank temperature, the more cost effective. By selecting a larger DHW tank, you can lower the desired DHW tank temperature.

▪The heat pump itself can produce domestic hot water of maximum

55°C (50°C if outdoor temperature is low). The electrical resistance integrated in the heat pump can increase this temperature. However, this consumes more energy. Daikin recommends to set the desired DHW tank temperature below 55°C to avoid using the backup heater.

▪The higher the outdoor temperature, the better the performance of the heat pump.

▪If energy prices are the same during the day and the night, Daikin recommends to heat up the DHW tank during the day.

▪If energy prices are lower during the night, Daikin recommends to heat up the DHW tank during the night.

▪When the heat pump produces domestic hot water, it cannot heat up a space. When you need domestic hot water and space heating at the same, Daikin recommends to produce the domestic hot water during the night when there is lower space heating demand.

Determining the DHW consumption

Answer the following questions and calculate the DHW consumption (equivalent hot water volume at 40°C) using the typical water volumes:

Question	Typical water volume
How many showers are needed	1 shower = 10 min×10 l/min =
per day?	100 l

How many baths are needed per 1 bath = 150 l day?

How much water is needed at the 1 sink = 2 min×5 l/min = 10 l kitchen sink per day?

Are there any other domestic hot — water needs?

Example: If the DHW consumption of a family (4 persons) per day is as follows:

▪3 showers

▪1 bath

▪3 sink volumes

Then the DHW consumption = (3×100 l)+(1×150 l)+(3×10 l)=480 l

5 Application guidelines

Determining the volume and desired temperature for the DHW tank

	Formula		Example
V1=V2+V2×(T2−40)/(40−T1)		If:
		▪	V2=180 l
		▪	T2=54°C
		▪	T1=15°C
		Then V1=280 l
V1	DHW consumption (equivalent hot water volume at 40°C)
V2	Required DHW tank volume if only heated once
T2	DHW tank temperature
T1	Cold water temperature

5.3.3Setup and configuration – DHW tank

▪For large DHW consumptions, you can heat up the DHW tank several times during the day.

▪To heat up the DHW tank to the desired DHW tank temperature, you can use the following energy sources:

▪Thermodynamic cycle of the heat pump

▪Electrical backup heater

▪For more information about optimizing the energy consumption for producing domestic hot water, see "8 Configuration" on page 41.

5.4.1Produced heat

INFORMATION

The sensors used to calculate the produced heat are calibrated automatically.

▪The produced heat is calculated internally based on:

▪The leaving and entering water temperature

▪The flow rate

▪Setup and configuration: No additional equipment needed.

5.4.2Consumed energy

You can use the following methods to determine the consumed energy:

▪Calculating

▪Measuring

INFORMATION

You cannot combine calculating the consumed energy (example: for backup heater) and measuring the consumed energy (example: for outdoor unit). If you do so, the energy data will be invalid.

Daikin Altherma – Low temperature split	15
4P401677-1B – 2017.04

6 Preparation

Indoor ambient temperature

▪In room thermostat control, the user interface is used as room thermostat and it measures the indoor ambient temperature. Therefore, the user interface must be installed on a location:

▪Where the average temperature in the room can be detected

▪That is NOT exposed to direct sunlight

▪That is NOT near a heat source

▪That is NOT affected by outside air or air draught because of, for example, door opening/closing

NOTICE

This unit is designed for operation on 2 temperature zones:

▪underfloor heating in the main zone (water temperature 35°C), this is the zone with the lowest water temperature,

▪radiators in the additional zone (water temperature 45°C), this is the zone with the highest water temperature.

▪If this is NOT possible, Daikin recommends to connect a remote indoor sensor (option KRCS01-1).

▪Setup: For installation instructions, see the installation manual of the remote indoor sensor.

▪Configuration: Select room sensor [A.2.2.B].

Outdoor ambient temperature

▪In the outdoor unit, the outdoor ambient temperature is measured. Therefore, the outdoor unit must be installed on a location:

▪At the north side of the house or at the side of the house where the most heat emitters are located

▪That is NOT exposed to direct sunlight

▪If this is NOT possible, Daikin recommends to connect a remote outdoor sensor (option EKRSCA1).

▪Setup: For installation instructions, see the installation manual of the remote outdoor sensor.

▪Configuration: Select outdoor sensor [A.2.2.B].

▪During suspend (see "8 Configuration" on page 41), the outdoor unit is turned down to reduce the standby energy losses. As a result, the outdoor ambient temperature is NOT read out.

▪If the desired leaving water temperature is weather dependent, the full time outdoor temperature measurement is important. This is another reason to install the optional outdoor ambient temperature sensor.

INFORMATION

The external outdoor ambient sensor data (either averaged or instantaneous) is used in the weather-dependent control curves. To protect the outdoor unit, the internal sensor of the outdoor unit is always used.

6.3Preparing refrigerant piping

6.3.1Refrigerant piping requirements

INFORMATION

Also read the precautions and requirements in the "General safety precautions" chapter.

▪Piping material: Phosphoric acid deoxidised seamless copper.

▪Piping diameter:

Liquid piping	Ø9.5 mm (3/8")
Gas piping	Ø15.9 mm (5/8")

▪ Piping temper grade and thickness:

Outer diameter	Temper grade	Thickness (t)(a)
(Ø)
9.5 mm (3/8")	Annealed (O)	≥0.8 mm	Ø
15.9 mm (5/8")	Annealed (O)	≥1.0 mm	t

(a)Depending on the applicable legislation and the unit's maximum working pressure (see "PS High" on the unit name plate), larger piping thickness might be required.

6.3.2Refrigerant piping insulation

▪Connecting piping – Legislation. Make all piping connections in accordance with the applicable legislation and the instructions in the "Installation" chapter, respecting the water inlet and outlet.

▪Connecting piping – Force. Do NOT use excessive force when connecting the piping. Deformation of the piping can cause malfunctioning of the unit.

▪Connecting piping – Tools. Only use appropriate tooling to handle brass, which is a soft material. If NOT, pipes will get damaged.

▪Connecting piping – Air, moisture, dust. If air, moisture or dust gets into the circuit, problems may occur. To prevent this:

▪Only use clean pipes

▪Hold the pipe end downwards when removing burrs.

▪Cover the pipe end when inserting it through a wall, to prevent dust and/or particles entering the pipe.

▪Use a decent thread sealant to seal connections.

▪Closed circuit. Use the indoor unit ONLY in a closed water system. Using the system in an open water system will lead to excessive corrosion.

▪Glycol. For safety reasons, it is NOT allowed to add any kind of glycol to the water circuit.

▪Piping length. It is recommended to avoid long runs of piping between the domestic hot water tank and the hot water end point

(shower, bath,…) and to avoid dead ends.

▪Piping diameter. Select the water piping diameter in relation to the required water flow and the available external static pressure of the pump. See "14 Technical data" on page 74 for the external static pressure curves of the indoor unit.

▪Water flow. You can find the minimum required water flow for indoor unit operation in the following table. In all cases, this flow needs to be guaranteed. When the flow is lower, the indoor unit will stop operation and display error 7H.

Minimum required flow rate during defrost/backup heater

operation

04+08 models	12 l/min
16 model	15 l/min

▪Use polyethylene foam as insulation material:

▪with a heat transfer rate between 0.041 and 0.052 W/mK (0.035 and 0.045 kcal/mh°C)

▪with a heat resistance of at least 120°C

▪Insulation thickness

▪Field supply components – Water. Only use materials that are compatible with water used in the system and with the materials used in the indoor unit.

▪Field supply components – Water pressure and temperature.

Check that all components in the field piping can withstand the water pressure and water temperature.

Ambient	Humidity	Minimum thickness

6.4Preparing water piping

6.4.1Water circuit requirements

INFORMATION

Also read the precautions and requirements in the

"General safety precautions" chapter.

NOTICE

In case of plastic pipes, make sure they are fully oxygen diffusion tight according to DIN 4726. The diffusion of oxygen into the piping can lead to excessive corrosion.

▪Water pressure. The maximum water pressure is 4 bar. Provide adequate safeguards in the water circuit to ensure that the maximum pressure is NOT exceeded.

▪Water temperature. All installed piping and piping accessories (valve, connections,…) MUST withstand the following temperatures:

▪Drainage – Low points. Provide drain taps at all low points of the system in order to allow complete drainage of the water circuit.

▪Drainage – Pressure relief valve. Provide a proper drain for the pressure relief valve to avoid water dripping out of the unit. See "7.8.5 To connect the pressure relief valve to the drain" on page 32.

▪Air vents. Provide air vents at all high points of the system, which must also be easily accessible for servicing. An automatic air purge is provided in the indoor unit. Check that the air purge is NOT tightened too much, so that automatic release of air in the water circuit is possible.

▪Zn-coated parts. Never use Zn-coated parts in the water circuit. Because the unit's internal water circuit uses copper piping, excessive corrosion may occur.

▪Non-brass metallic piping. When using non-brass metallic piping, insulate the brass and non-brass properly so that they do NOT make contact with each other. This to prevent galvanic corrosion.

▪Valve – Change over time. When using a 2-way valve or a 3-way valve in the water circuit, the maximum change-over time of the valve must be 60 seconds.

▪Filter. It is strongly recommended to install an additional filter on both heating water circuits. Especially to remove metallic particles from foul heating piping, it is recommended to use a magnetic or cyclone filter, which can remove small particles. Small particles may damage the unit and will NOT be removed by the standard filter of the heat pump system.

▪Domestic hot water tank – Capacity. To avoid stagnation of water, it is important that the storage capacity of the domestic hot water tank meets the daily consumption of domestic hot water.

▪Domestic hot water tank – After installation. Immediately after installation, the domestic hot water tank must be flushed with fresh water. This procedure must be repeated at least once a day the first 5 consecutive days after installation.

▪Domestic hot water tank – Standstills. In cases where during longer periods of time there is no consumption of hot water, the equipment MUST be flushed with fresh water before usage.

▪Domestic hot water tank – Disinfection. For the disinfection function of the domestic hot water tank, see "8.3.2 Domestic hot water control: advanced" on page 53.

▪Thermostatic mixing valves. In accordance with the applicable legislation, it may be necessary to install thermostatic mixing valves.

▪Hygienic measures. The installation must be in compliance with the applicable legislation and may require additional hygienic installation measures.

▪Recirculation pump. In accordance with the applicable legislation, it may be required to connect a recirculation pump in between the hot water end point and the recirculation connection of the domestic hot water tank.

6.4.2Formula to calculate the expansion vessel pre-pressure

The pre-pressure (Pg) of the vessel depends on the installation height difference (H):

Pg=0.3+(H/10) (bar)

6.4.3To check the water volume and flow rate

The indoor unit has an expansion vessel of 10 litre with a factory set pre-pressure of 1 bar.

To make sure that the unit operates properly:

▪You must check the minimum and maximum water volume.

▪You might need to adjust the pre-pressure of the expansion vessel.

Minimum water volume

Check that the total water volume in the installation is minimum 10 litre for EHVZ04+08 and 20 litre for EHVZ16, the internal water volume of the indoor unit NOT included. Do NOT split up the minimum water volume over the 2 temperature zones.

It is sufficient to foresee the minimum water volume on the main zone. In case of underfloor heating, this is easily done by 1 floor heating loop that never will be closed by a (remotely) controlled valve.

It is NOT required to foresee the minimum water volume on the additional zone.

INFORMATION

In critical processes, or in rooms with a high heat load, extra water might be required.

NOTICE

When circulation in each space heating/cooling loop is controlled by remotely controlled valves, it is important that the minimum water volume is guaranteed, even if all of the valves are closed.

(a)This is the height difference (m) between the highest point of the water circuit and the indoor unit. If the indoor unit is at the highest point of the installation, the installation height is 0 m.

Minimum flow rate

Check that the minimum flow rate (required during defrost/backup heater operation) in the installation is guaranteed in all conditions on each zone separately.

NOTICE

When circulation in each or certain space heating loops is controlled by remotely controlled valves, it is important that the minimum flow rate is guaranteed, even if all valves are closed. In case the minimum flow rate cannot be reached, a flow error 7H will be generated (no heating/operation).

6.4.4Changing the pre-pressure of the expansion vessel

NOTICE

Only a licensed installer may adjust the pre-pressure of the expansion vessel.

When changing the default pre-pressure of the expansion vessel

(1 bar) is required, take following guidelines into account:

▪Only use dry nitrogen to set the expansion vessel pre-pressure.

▪Inappropriate setting of the expansion vessel pre-pressure will lead to malfunction of the system.

Changing the pre-pressure of the expansion vessel should be done by releasing or increasing nitrogen pressure through the Schrader valve of the expansion vessel.

6.4.5To check the water volume: Examples

Example 1

The indoor unit is installed 5 m below the highest point in the water circuit. The total water volume in the water circuit is 100 l.

No actions or adjustments are required.

Example 2

The indoor unit is installed at the highest point in the water circuit. The total water volume in the water circuit is 350 l.

Actions:

▪Because the total water volume (350 l) is more than the default water volume (280 l), the pre-pressure must be decreased.

▪The required pre-pressure is:

Pg = (0.3+(H/10)) bar = (0.3+(0/10)) bar=0.3 bar.

▪The corresponding maximum water volume at 0.3 bar is 410 l. (See the graph in the chapter above).

▪Because 350 l is lower than 410 l, the expansion vessel is appropriate for the installation.

6.5Preparing electrical wiring

6.5.1About preparing electrical wiring

6.5.2About preferential kWh rate power supply

NOTICE

For applications with preferential kWh rate power supply:

The interruption of the outdoor unit power supply may not be more than 2 hours to guarantee optimised startup conditions for the compressor.

Electricity companies throughout the world work hard to provide reliable electric service at competitive prices and are often authorized to bill clients at benefit rates. E.g. time-of-use rates, seasonal rates, Wärmepumpentarif in Germany and Austria, ...

This equipment allows for connection to such preferential kWh rate power supply delivery systems.

Consult with the electricity company acting as provider at the site where this equipment is to be installed to know whether it is appropriate to connect the equipment in one of the preferential kWh rate power supply delivery systems available, if any.

When the equipment is connected to such preferential kWh rate power supply, the electricity company is allowed to:

▪interrupt power supply to the equipment for certain periods of time;

▪demand that the equipment only consumes a limited amount of electricity during certain periods of time.

The indoor unit is designed to receive an input signal by which the unit switches into forced off mode. At that moment, the outdoor unit compressor will not operate.

Whether the power supply is interrupted or not, the wiring to the unit is different.

7.5.3Guidelines when connecting the refrigerant piping

Take the following guidelines into account when connecting pipes:

▪Coat the flare inner surface with ether oil or ester oil when connecting a flare nut. Tighten 3 or 4 turns by hand, before tightening firmly.

▪Always use 2 wrenches together when loosening a flare nut.

▪Always use a spanner and torque wrench together to tighten the flare nut when connecting the piping. This to prevent nut cracking and leaks.

7.5.4Pipe bending guidelines

Use a pipe bender for bending. All pipe bends should be as gentle as possible (bending radius should be 30~40 mm or larger).

7.5.5To flare the pipe end

CAUTION

▪Incomplete flaring may cause refrigerant gas leakage.

▪Do NOT re-use flares. Use new flares to prevent refrigerant gas leakage.

▪Use flare nuts that are included with the unit. Using different flare nuts may cause refrigerant gas leakage.

1Cut the pipe end with a pipe cutter.

2Remove burrs with the cut surface facing down so that the chips do not enter the pipe.

7.5.6To braze the pipe end

▪Do NOT apply excessive force to the valve stem. Doing so may break the valve body.

▪Always make sure to secure the stop valve with a spanner, then loosen or tighten the flare nut with a torque wrench. Do NOT place the spanner on the stem cap, as this could cause a refrigerant leak.

The indoor unit and outdoor unit have flare connections. Connect both ends without brazing. If brazing should be needed, take the following into account:

▪When brazing, blow through with nitrogen to prevent creation of large quantities of oxidised film on the inside of the piping. This film adversely affects valves and compressors in the refrigerating system and prevents proper operation.

▪Set the nitrogen pressure to 20 kPa (0.2 bar) (just enough so it can be felt on the skin) with a pressure-reducing valve.

fNitrogen

▪Do NOT use anti-oxidants when brazing pipe joints. Residue can clog pipes and break equipment.

▪Do NOT use flux when brazing copper-to-copper refrigerant piping. Use phosphor copper brazing filler alloy (BCuP), which does not require flux.

Flux has an extremely harmful influence on refrigerant piping systems. For instance, if chlorine based flux is used, it will cause pipe corrosion or, in particular, if the flux contains fluorine, it will deteriorate the refrigerant oil.

▪When it is expected that the operating pressure will be low (e.g. when cooling will be performed while the outside air temperature is low), sufficiently seal the flare nut in the stop valve on the gas line with silicon sealant to prevent freezing.

Silicon sealant, make sure there is no gap.

To open/close the stop valve

1Remove the valve cover.

2Insert a hexagon wrench (liquid side: 4 mm, gas side: 6 mm) into the valve stem and turn the valve stem:

Counterclockwise to open.

Clockwise to close.

3When the valve stem cannot be turned any further, stop turning.

The valve is now opened/closed.

To handle the stem cap

▪The stem cap is sealed where indicated with the arrow. Do NOT damage it.

7.5.7Using the stop valve and service port

To handle the stop valve

Take the following guidelines into account:

▪The stop valves are factory closed.

▪The following illustration shows each part required in handling the valve.
