Caps and Fasteners Torque Requirements
Operating Gauge Set and Service Valves
IMPORTANT
Only use Allen wrenches of sufficient hardness (50Rc −
Rockwell Harness Scale minimum). Fully insert the
wrench into the valve stem recess.
Service valve stems are factory−torqued (from 9 ft−lbs for
small valves, to 25 ft−lbs for large valves) to prevent
refrigerant loss during shipping and handling. Using an
Allen wrench rated at less than 50Rc risks rounding or
breaking off the wrench, or stripping the valve stem
recess.
See the Lennox Service and Application Notes
Corp.0807−L5 (C−08−1) for further details and
information.
When servicing or repairing HVAC equipment and
components, ensure the fasteners are appropriately
tightened. Table 1 list torque values for various caps and
fasteners.
Table 1. Torque Requirements
Parts Recommended Torque
Service valve cap 8 ft.− lb. 11 NM
Sheet metal screws 16 in.− lb. 2 NM
Machine screws #10 28 in.− lb. 3 NM
Compressor bolts 90 in.− lb. 10 NM
Gauge port seal cap 8 ft.− lb. 11 NM
IMPORTANT
To prevent stripping of the various caps used, the
appropriately sized wrench should be used and fitted
snugly over the cap before tightening.
OPERATING SERVICE VALVES
The liquid and vapor line service valves are used for
refrigerant recovery, flushing, leak testing, evacuating,
weighing in refrigerant and optimizing system charge.
Each valve is equipped with a service port which has a
factory−installed valve core. Figure 2 provides information
on how to access and operate both angle− and ball−type
service valves.
USING MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
When checking the system charge, only use a manifold
gauge set that features low−loss anti−blow back fittings.
Manifold gauge set used for HFC−410A refrigerant
systems must be capable of handling the higher system
operating pressures. The manifold gauges should be rated
for:
High side Pressure range of 0 − 800 pound−force per
square inch gauge (psig)
Low side Use with 30" vacuum to 250 psig with
dampened speed to 500 psig
Manifold gauge set hoses must be rated for use to 800
psig of pressure with a 4000 psig burst rating.

Remove existing HCFC−22 refrigerant using one of the following procedures:
METHOD 1:
Use Method 1 if the existing outdoor unit is not equipped with shut−off valves, or
if the unit is not operational and you plan to use the existing HCFC−22 to flush
the system.
Recover all HCFC−22 refrigerant from the existing system using a recovery
machine and clean recovery cylinder. Check gauges after shutdown to confirm
that the entire system is completely void of refrigerant.
METHOD 2:
Use Method 2 if the existing outdoor unit is equipped with manual shut−off valves,
and you plan to use new HCFC−22 refrigerant to flush the system.
Perform the following task:
A Start the existing HCFC−22 system in the cooling mode and close the liquid line
valve.
B Use the compressor to pump as much of the existing HCFC−22 refrigerant into
the outdoor unit until the outdoor system is full. Turn the outdoor unit main power
OFF and use a recovery machine to remove the remaining refrigerant from the
system.
NOTE It may be necessary to bypass the low pressure switches (if equipped) to
ensure complete refrigerant evacuation.
C When the low side system pressures reach 0 psig, close the vapor line valve.
D Check gauges after shutdown to confirm that the valves are not allowing
refrigerant to flow back into the low side of the system.
CONNECT MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
Connect a manifold gauge set, clean recovery cylinder and a
2
recovery machine to the service ports of the existing unit..
NOTE Use the recovery machine instructions to make
the correct manifold gauge set connections for recovery
refrigerant. The illustration below is a typical connection.

METHOD 2 LIMITATIONS
NOTE When using Method 2, the listed devices
below could prevent full system charge recovery into
the outdoor unit:
Outdoor unit’s high or low−pressure switches (if
applicable) when tripped can cycle the
compressor OFF.
Compressor can stop pumping due to tripped
internal pressure relief valve.
Compressor has internal vacuum protection that
is designed to unload the scrolls (compressor
stops pumping) when the pressure ratio meets a
certain value or when the suction pressure is as
high as 20 psig. (Compressor suction
pressures should never be allowed to go into
a vacuum. Prolonged operation at low suction
pressures will result in overheating of the
scrolls and permanent damage to the scroll
tips, drive bearings and internal seals.)
Once the compressor can not pump down to a lower
pressure due to any of the above mentioned system
conditions, shut off the vapor valve. Turn OFF the main
power to unit and use a recovery machine to recover
any refrigerant left in the indoor coil and line set.

Figure 3. Refrigerant Recovery
IMPORTANT
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prohibits the intentional venting of HFC refrigerants during maintenance,
service, repair and disposal of appliance. Approved methods of recovery, recycling or reclaiming must be followed.
WARNING
Refrigerant can be harmful if it is inhaled. Refrigerant must be used and recovered responsibly.
Failure to follow this warning may result in personal injury or death.

New Outdoor Unit Placement
CAUTION
In order to avoid injury, take proper precaution when lifting heavy objects.
Remove existing outdoor unit prior to placement of new
outdoor unit. See Unit Dimensions on page 2 for sizing
mounting slab, platforms or supports. Refer to figure 4 for
mandatory installation clearance requirements.
POSITIONING CONSIDERATIONS
Consider the following when positioning the unit:
Some localities are adopting sound ordinances based
on the unit’s sound level registered from the adjacent
property, not from the installation property. Install the
unit as far as possible from the property line.
When possible, do not install the unit directly outside
a window. Glass has a very high level of sound
transmission. For proper placement of unit in relation
to a window see the provided illustration in figure 5,
detail A.
PLACING UNIT ON SLAB
When installing unit at grade level, the top of the slab
should be high enough above grade so that water from
higher ground will not collect around the unit. The slab
should have a slope tolerance as described in figure 5,
detail B.
NOTE If necessary for stability, anchor unit to slab as
described in figure 5, detail D.
ELEVATING THE UNIT
Units are outfitted with elongated support feet as illustrated
in figure 5, detail C.
If additional elevation is necessary, raise the unit by
extending the height of the unit support feet. This may be
achieved by using a 2 inch (50.8mm) schedule 40 female
threaded adapter.
NOTE Keep the height of extenders short enough to
ensure a sturdy installation. If it is necessary to extend
further, consider a different type of field−fabricated
framework that is sturdy enough for greater heights.
ROOF MOUNTING
Install the unit a minimum of 6 inches (152 mm) above the
roof surface to avoid ice build−up around the unit. Locate
the unit above a load bearing wall or area of the roof that
can adequately support the unit. Consult local codes for
rooftop applications. See figure 5, detail F for other roof top
mounting considerations.
CLEARANCE ON ALL SIDES INCHES (MILLIMETERS)
NOTES:
Service clearance of 30 inches (762 mm) must be
maintained on one of the sides adjacent to the
control panel
Clearance to one of the other three sides must be 36
inches (914mm).
Clearance to one of the remaining two sides may be
12 inches (305mm) and the final side may be 6

WARNING
To prevent personal injury, or damage to panels, unit or structure, be sure to observe the following:
While installing or servicing this unit, carefully stow all removed panels out of the way, so that the panels will not cause
injury to personnel, nor cause damage to objects or structures nearby, nor will the panels be subjected to damage (e.g.,
being bent or scratched).
While handling or stowing the panels, consider any weather conditions, especially windy conditions, that may cause
panels to be blown around and battered.

Line Set Requirements
This section provides information on: installation of new or
replacement line set.
Adding Polyol ester oil requirements
New or replacement line set installation
Using existing line set.
ADDING POLYOL ESTER OIL REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT
Mineral oils are not compatible with HFC−410A. If oil
must be added, it must be a Polyol Ester oil.
The compressor is charged with sufficient Polyol Ester oil
(POE) for line set lengths up to 50 feet. Recommend
adding oil to system based on the amount of refrigerant
charge in the system. Systems with 20 pounds or less of
refrigerant required no oil to be added.
For systems over 20 pounds − add one ounce for every five
(5) pounds of HFC−410A refrigerant.
Recommended topping−off POE oils are Mobil EAL
ARCTIC 22 CC or ICI EMKARATE RL32CF.
NEW OR REPLACEMENT LINE SET INSTALLATION
Field refrigerant piping consists of both liquid and vapor
lines from the outdoor unit to the indoor coil. Use Lennox
L15 (sweat, non−flare) series line set, or field−fabricated
refrigerant line sizes as specified in table 2.
If refrigerant lines are routed through a wall, then seal and
isolate the opening so vibration is not transmitted to the
building. Pay close attention to line set isolation during
installation of any HVAC system. When properly isolated
from building structures (walls, ceilings. floors), the
refrigerant lines will not create unnecessary vibration and
subsequent sounds. See figure 7 for recommended
installation practices.
NOTE When installing refrigerant lines longer than 50
feet, see the Lennox Refrigerant Piping Design and
Fabrication Guidelines, CORP. 9351−L9, or contact
Lennox Technical Support Product Applications for
assistance. To obtain the correct information from Lennox,
be sure to communicate the following information:
Table 2. Refrigerant Line Set Inches (mm)
Model (XP13) and size of unit (e.g. −036).
Line set diameters for the unit being installed as listed
in table 2 and total length of installation.
Number of elbows vertical rise or drop in the piping.
USING EXISTING LINE SET
Things to consider:
Liquid line that meter the refrigerant, such as RFC1
liquid line, must not be used in this application.
Existing line set of proper size as listed in table 2 may
be reused.
If system was previously charged with HCFC−22
refrigerant, then existing line set must be flushed (see
Flushing Line Set and Indoor Coil on page 15).
If existing line set is being used, then proceed to Brazing
Connections on page 11.
IMPORTANT
Lennox highly recommends changing line set when
converting the existing system from HCFC−22 to
HFC−410A. If that is not possible and the line set is the
proper size as reference in table 2, use the procedure
outlined under Flushing Line Set and Indoor Coil on page
13.
IMPORTANT
If this unit is being matched with an approved line set
or indoor unit coil which was previously charged with
mineral oil, or if it is being matched with a coil which
was manufactured before January of 1999, the coil
and line set must be flushed prior to installation. Take
care to empty all existing traps. Polyol ester (POE) oils
are used in Lennox units charged with HFC−410A
refrigerant. Residual mineral oil can act as an
insulator, preventing proper heat transfer. It can also
clog the expansion device, and reduce the system
performance and capacity.
Failure to properly flush the system per the
instructions below will void the warranty.
