Branch Selector Box Kit

These kits provide the necessary couplings, reducers, and/or caps to connect VRF Branch Selector Boxes to outdoor unit piping and indoor unit piping. Each kit is custom built to match the project system selection lay-out as provided by the customer. The couplings, reducers, flare tube kits, or closed pipe caps are shipped loose for field installation on to the selector box.

Specialty tube support adaptor inserts may be supplied with the kit for proper fit onto certain selector box connecting pipe.

WARNING

All equipment manufacturers’ installation restrictions must be strictly followed. The use of RCS flame-free mechanically attached fittings does not relief the installer from following the equipment manufacturers installation requirements.

Except for factory male flare ends, all factory swaged-ends must be cut off the Selector Box to provide for actual line size in order to install RCS flame-free mechanically attached fittings.

A minimum of 3 ⅛ inches of straight tube clearance from the selector box bulkhead and 1 ⅝ inch clearance between adjacent tubes are required to engage the press tool.
