Refrigerant Piping Work
Seetheinstallationmanualsuppliedwiththeoutdoorunit.
1. Flaring the pipe end
1)Cutthepipeendwithapipecutter.
2)Removeburrswiththecutsurfacefacing
downwardsothatthechipsdonotenterthepipe.
3)Putthearenutonthepipe.
4)Flarethepipe.
5)Checkthatthearingisproperlymade.

WARNING
•Donotusemineraloilonaredpart.
•Preventmineraloilfromgettingintothesystemasthiswouldreducethelifetimeoftheunits.
•Neverusepipingwhichhasbeenusedforpreviousinstallations.Onlyusepartswhicharedeliveredwiththeunit.
•NeverinstalladriertothisR410Aunitinordertoguaranteeitslifetime.
•Thedryingmaterialmaydissolveanddamagethesystem.
Incompletearingmaycauserefrigerantgasleakage.
2. Refrigerant piping
1)Topreventgasleakage,applyrefrigerationmachineoiltotheinner
surfaceoftheare.(UserefrigerationoilforR410A)
2)Alignthecentersofbotharesandtightenthearenuts3or4turns
byhand.Thentightenthemfullywiththetorquewrenches.
•Usetorquewrencheswhentighteningthearenutstoprevent
damagetothearenutsandescapinggas.

CAUTION
•Overtightening may damage the are and cause leaks.
3) After the work is nished, make sure to
check that there is no gas leak.

Flare nut
Apply refrigeration
oil to the inner
surface of the flare.
Do not apply refrigeration oil to
the flare nut to avoid tightening
with excessive torque.
4) After checking for gas leaks, be sure to insulate the pipe connections.
•Insulateusingtheinsulationforttingincludedwiththeliquidandgaspipes.Besides,makesuretheinsulationfortting
ontheliquidandgaspipinghasitsseamsfacingup.
(Tightenbothedgeswithclamp.)
•Forthegaspiping,wrapthemediumsealingpadovertheinsulationfortting(arenutpart).
