Preparing refrigerant piping
6.1.1
Refrigerant piping requirements
CAUTION
Piping and joints of a split system shall be made with
permanent joints when inside an occupied space except
joints directly connecting the piping to the indoor units.
NOTICE
The piping and other pressure-containing parts shall be
suitable for refrigerant. Use phosphoric acid deoxidised
seamless copper for refrigerant.
▪ Foreign materials inside pipes (including oils for fabrication) must
be ≤30 mg/10 m.
Refrigerant piping diameter
Use the same diameters as the connections on the outdoor units:
Pipe outer diameter (mm)
Liquid piping
Ø6.4
Refrigerant piping material
▪ Piping material: Phosphoric acid deoxidised seamless copper.
▪ Flare connections: Only use annealed material.
▪ Piping temper grade and thickness:

Depending on the applicable legislation and the maximum
working pressure of the unit (see "PS High" on the unit name
plate), larger piping thickness might be required.
6.1.2
Refrigerant piping insulation
▪ Use polyethylene foam as insulation material:
▪ with a heat transfer rate between 0.041 and 0.052 W/mK (0.035
and 0.045 kcal/mh°C)
▪ with a heat resistance of at least 120°C

If the temperature is higher than 30°C and the humidity is higher
than RH 80%, the thickness of the insulation materials should be at
least 20 mm to prevent condensation on the surface of the
insulation.

Connecting the refrigerant piping
DANGER: RISK OF BURNING/SCALDING
6.2.1
To connect the refrigerant piping to the
indoor unit
WARNING: MILDLY FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The refrigerant inside this unit is mildly flammable.
▪ Pipe length. Keep refrigerant piping as short as possible.
1 Connect refrigerant piping to the unit using flare connections.
2 Insulate the refrigerant piping, interconnection cable and drain
hose on the indoor unit as follows:
