DESCRIPTION
The RP972A Reversing Relay is a four-port, modulating
relay suitable for all types of heating and air conditioning
control systems. It is used as a reversing relay to reverse
and increase the capacity of branchline pressure to the
final control element. It has three distinct, detented, field-
adjustable and reversing settings.
See Fig. 1 for approximate dimensions.

Piping
Fig. 3 shows adaptation piping. Port 1 (Main, Supply)
sharp barb for 1/4-in. (6 mm) O.D. tubing. Ports 2, 3, and
4 (Branch, Output; Pilot, Input; and Exhaust,
respectively), sharp barb for 5/32-in (4 mm) O.D. tubing.
CAUTION
Equipment Damage Hazard.
To prevent damage to the sharp barb
connections, do not attempt to cut or pull tubing.
To remove the tubing from the barb connections,
cut tubing a few inches from the control device.
Use a coupling to reconnect tubing.
NOTE: When the system is other than copper or poly-
ethylene tubing, adapt as shown in Fig. 3. Some
models provide the parts for adapting.

Adjustments
The slotted plunger on the narrow end of the RP972A
Relay is a screwdriver-adjustable bayonet lock. See
Fig. 4. The lock can be set at one of three positions: A, B
or C. Each position provides a different value for ƒK≈ in
the following equation.
