REFRIGERANT PIPING

CAUTION
TAKE NOTE OF THESE 4 IMPORTANT
POINTS BELOW FOR PIPING WORK
1. Keep dust and moisture away from inside the
connecting pipes.
2. Tightly connect the connection between pipes
and the unit.
3. Evacuate the air in the connecting pipes using a
VACUUM PUMP.
4. Check for gas leaks at connected points.
Flaring
1. Cut the pipe with a pipe cutter.
Be sure to remove burrs that may cause a gas leak.
2. Insert the supplied flare nut into the pipe, and then
flare the pipe.
As the flaring sizes of R410A differ from those of
refrigerant R22, the flare tools newly manufactured
for R410A are recommended.
However, the conventional tools
can be used by adjusting the
projection margin of the copper
pipe.

* In case of flaring for R410A with the
conventional flare tool, pull the tool out
approx. 0.02" (0.5 mm) more than that for
R22 to adjust it to the specified flare size.
The copper pipe gauge is useful for
adjusting the projection margin size.

tighten the flare nuts with your fingers.
Valve at liquid side
2. Use two wrenches to loosen or tighten the flare nut
on the gas service valve as shown in the figure.

Use only one wrench to loosen or tighten the flare
not on the liquid service valve.
The final tightening with a torque wrench should be
to the specifications shown in table below.
