Running the Copper Tubing to Arctic Air
TM
Like your Glacier Bay holding plates, the ARCTIC AIR blower units are connected to the
compressor components by two copper tubes, a 1/4" liquid supply line and a 1/2" suction line.
1/4" liquid supply line
The 1/4" liquid line will be run directly from the solenoid valve assembly and connected to the
small line at the back of the blower unit. If you are using two blower units which will operate
simultaneously you will need to split this supply line with a 1/4" “T” connector and feed both
blowers in parallel. On multiple zone systems, each zone (comprised of one or more blowers)
will be fed from a separate solenoid valve.
1/2" suction line
The 1/2" suction line is run from all blower units and "T"’d into the suction line coming from the
holding plates. This connection may be made at any point between the holding plate and the
compressor/condensor assembly.
IMPORTANT: Care and consideration must be given to the detail of how this "T" connection is
made. If improperly connected the line can act as an "oil separator" and eventually starve the
compressor of oil causing it to fail prematurely. Use the following side view illustrations as
guidelines for making your "T".
