Installation, Purging & Removal of Manifold Gauge Sets (MGS)

Purging a MGS If MGS is new, was exposed to atmosphere or used on a different refrigerant, you must purge them! Remove Compressor Service Valve Stem Caps and insure valves are fully backseated. Remove Access Port Caps. Install High Side Hose and Low Side Hose.

Purging a MGS Do Not Connect the Utility Hoses. Backseat the high side MGS hand valve. Leave low side MGS hand valve frontseated. Open Discharge Service Valve - 1/4 turn. Use purge fitting to purge contaminants from utility hose. Frontseat high side MGS hand valve. Repeat process for low side.

Installation of MGS Remove Compressor Service Valve Stem Caps and insure valves are fully backseated. Remove Access Port Caps. Frontseat MGS hand valves. Install High Side Hose. If MGS has positive pressure and was used for the same refrigerant, purging is not necessary.

Installation of MGS Install Low Side Hose. Connect Utility Hose to MGS dummy port. Midseat Discharge Service Valve - 1/4 turn Midseat Suction Service Valve turns. Gauges are now installed and ready for checking system pressures!

Removal of MGS With the unit operating. –Backseat the Discharge Service Valve. –Midseat the MGS Hand Valves. –Let the pressure in the MGS stabilize to Suction Pressure. –Frontseat the MGS Hand Valves. –Backseat the Suction Service Valve. –Remove Hoses.

Low Side Pump-down Purpose –To perform general service on the Filter-drier, Modulation Valve, Suction Solenoid Valve, Heat Exchanger and TXV Valve. Procedure –Install Manifold Gauge Set. –Operate unit in Cool Mode for minutes. –Close the Liquid Line Hand Valve.

Low Side Pump-down Procedure (con’t) –Monitor the Low Side Gauge and shut unit OFF when it reaches a slight vacuum (5” hg max.) –Monitor the Low side gauge: Pressure rises above 2-3 PSIG - pump down again! Pressure does not rise above 2-3 PSIG - continue! –Front-seat the Suction Service Valve. All Refrigerant is now trapped in the Condenser and the Receiver tank!
