1)Applyathincoatofrefrigerationoil(G)tothearedendsofthepipesand
the pipe connections of the outdoor unit.
2) Align the center of the pipe with that of the pipe connections of the outdoor
unit,thenhandtightenthearenut3to4turns.
3)Tightenthearenutwithatorquewrenchasspeciedinthetable.
• Over-tighteningmaycausedamagetothearenut,resultinginrefrigerant
leakage.
• Besuretowrapinsulationaroundthepiping.Directcontactwiththebare
piping may result in burns or frostbite.
3-3.INSULATIONANDTAPING
1)Coverpipingjointswithpipecover.
2)Foroutdoorunitside,surelyinsulateeverypipingincludingvalves.
3)Usingpipingtape(E),applytapingstartingfromtheentryofoutdoorunit.
• Stoptheendofpipingtape(E)withtape(withadhesiveagentattached).
• Whenpipinghavetobearrangedthroughaboveceiling,closetorwhere
the temperature and humidity are high, wind additional commercially sold
insulationtopreventcondensation.
WARNING
When installing the unit, securely
connect the refrigerant pipes before
starting the compressor.
CAUTION
When there are the ports which are
not used, make sure their nuts are
tightened securely.

3-1.FLARINGWORK
1) Cut the copper pipe correctly with pipe cutter. (Fig. 1, 2)
2)Completelyremoveallburrsfromthecutcrosssectionof
pipe.(Fig.3)
• Aimthecopperpipedownwardwhileremovingburrsto
preventburrsfromdroppinginthepipe.
3)Removearenutsattachedtoindoorandoutdoorunits,
thenputthemon pipe having completed burr removal.
(Notpossibletoputthemonafteraringwork.)
4)Flaring work (Fig. 4,5).Firmlyholdcopper pipe in the
dimension shown in the table. Select A inch (mm) from
the table according to the tool selected.
5)Check

6)Removegaugemanifoldvalvequicklyfromserviceportofstopvalve.
7)Fully open allstopvalves on the gaspipeand the liquid pipe.Operating
without fully opening lowers the performance and this causes trouble.
8)Referto1-2.,andchargetheprescribedamountofrefrigerantifneeded.Be
sure to charge slowly with liquid refrigerant. Otherwise, composition of the
refrigerant in the system may be changed and affect performance of the air
conditioner.
