WARNING
Goodman will not be responsible for any injury or property damage arising from improper service or service
procedures. If you install or perform service on this unit, you assume responsibility for any personal injury or property
damage which may result. Many jurisdictions require a license to install or service heating and air conditioning
equipment.

WARNING
The United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") has issued various regulations regarding the introduction
and disposal of refrigerants introduced into this unit. Failure to follow these regulations may harm the environment
and can lead to the imposition of substantial fines. These regulations may vary by jurisdiction. A certified technician
must perform the installation and service of this product. Should questions arise, contact your local EPA office.
Violations of EPA regulations may result in fines or penalties.

S-111 FIXED ORIFICE RESTRICTION


DEVICES
The fixed orifice restriction device (flowrator) used in conjunc-
tion with the indoor coil is a predetermined bore (I.D.).
It is designed to control the rate of liquid refrigerant flow into an
evaporator coil.
