    Dakin vrv3



    Just a quick one chaps. I have to decommission a daikin vrv3 system next week, need to remove all gas. Are the instructions for forcing open all the valves on the bs boxes in the outdoor unit and easy to understand? If not, can somebody give some pointers on how to do it? I don't know the model number but i do know it is only a couple of years old.

    Cheers

    Andy

    Ta very much chaps.
    On the subject of schrader core depressors, do not attempt to change a lp pressure transducer on a MHI with the gas in - they don't have schraders
