Piping Materials and Handling
Pipes used for the refrigerant piping system must include the specified thickness, and the
interior must be clean.
While handling and storing, do not bend or damage the pipes, and take care not to
contaminate the interior with dust, moisture, etc.
Clean Airtight
No moisture should be inside the piping. No dust should be inside the piping. No leaks should occur.
Possible
Problems
- Significant hydrolysis of refrigerant oil.
- Refrigerant oil degradation.
- Poor insulation of the compressor.
- System does not operate properly.
- EEVs, capillary tubes are clogged.
- Refrigerant oil degradation.
- Poor insulation of the compressor.
- System does not operate properly.
- EEVs and capillary tubes become
clogged.
- Refrigerant gas leaks / shortages.
- Refrigerant oil degradation.
- Poor insulation of the compressor.
- System does not operate properly.
Solutions
- Remove moisture from the piping.
- Piping ends should remain capped until
connections are complete.
- Do not install piping on a rainy day.
- Connect piping properly at the unit’s side.
- Remove caps only after the piping is

passing the piping through the walls.
- Evacuate system to a minimum of 500
microns and insure the vacuum holds at
that level for 24 hours
- Remove dust from the piping.
- Piping ends should remain capped until
connections are complete.
- Connect piping properly at the side of
the unit.
- Remove caps only after the piping is cut
and burrs are removed.
- Retain the cap on the piping when
passing it through walls, etc.
- Test system for air tightness.
- Perform brazing procedures that comply
with all applicable standards.
- Perform flaring procedures that comply
