Before you buy
- Install type 'quick-connect' assumes MRCOOL's optional No-Vac line set; the system also ships for flare or braze connections with a vacuum.
- Some Amazon listings carry older CENTRAL-xx-HP-230A00 model codes; match the 230B00-O suffix.
- The install manual still calls for a licensed installer and licensed field piping; the warranty is what exempts a Quick Connect install.
