refrigerant circuit
Service connections with Schrader valve (needle valve or push
pin)
♦ Only valves and connections resistant to R1234yf refrigerant
and the related refrigerant oils may be used.
♦ Service connections -C- and -F- in an R1234yf refrigerant cir‐
cuit are configured in such a way that service couplings cannot
be connected to service connections designed for an R134a
refrigerant circuit.
♦ Different connections (external diameter) for high pressure
and low pressure side -C- and -F-.
♦ Before removing the valves or valve inserts -B- and -E-, empty
the refrigerant circuit.
♦ Always screw on sealing caps -A- and -D- with seal -G-.
