DC Inverter Multi VRF System (2) Do not bend the pipe over 90°. (3) If pipe is repeatedly bent or stretched, it will get hard and difficult to bend and stretch again. Therefore, do not bend or stretch the bend for over 3 times. (4) In case that direct bending will open cracks to the pipe, first use sharp cutter to cut the insulating layer, as shown in Fig.4.3.3.2.

DC Inverter Multi VRF System Fig 4.3.6.2 (4) Branch shall be isolated by insulating material that can bear 120°C or even higher temperature. The attached foam of branch cannot be taken as insulating material. 4.3.7 Thermal Insulation for Pipeline (1) For multi VRF system, every copper pipe should be labeled so as to avoid misconnection. (2) At the branch inlet, leave at least 500mm straight pipe section.
DC Inverter Multi VRF System 4.3.8 Support and Protection of Pipeline (1) Support should be made for hanging connection pipe. Distance between each support cannot be over 1m. (2) Protection against accidental damage should be made for outdoor pipeline. When pipeline exceeds 1m, a pinch board should be added for protection.
