The use restrictions appearing in the table above are applicable to the standard pipe size combinations shown in the table below. Where an existing pipe system is utilized,
CAUTION
different one-way pipe length restrictions should apply depending on its pipe size. For more information, please see " 6. UTILIZATION OF EXISTING PIPING."
2) Determination of pipe size
● Determine refrigerant pipe size pursuant to the following guidelines based on the indoor unit specifications.
Outdoor unit connected
Refrigerant piping (Main pipe L)
Indoor unit connectied
In the case a single type
Capacity of indoor unit
Branching pipe set
Refrigerant piping (branch pipe L1,L2)
In the case a twin type
Indoor unit connectied
Capacity of indoor unit
When the 40V model is connected as an indoor unit, always use a φ9.52 liquid pipe for the branch (branching pipe – indoor unit) and a different diameter joint supplied with the branching pipe set for connection with the indoor unit ( φ 6.35
●
CAUTION
on the liquid pipe side).
If a φ6.35 pipe is used for connection with a branching pipe, a refrigerant distribution disorder may occur, causing one of the indoor units to fall short of the rated capacity.
●
A riser pipe must be a part of the main. A branching pipe set should be installed horizontally at a point as close to an indoor unit as possible.
A branching part must be dressed with a heat-insulation material supplied as an accessory.
●
For the details of installation work required at and near a branching area, see the installation manual supplied with your branching pipe set.
3) Refrigerant pipe wall thickness and material
●
Select refrigerant pipes of the table shown on the right wall thickness and
material as specified for each pipe size.
4) On-site piping work
●
Take care so that installed pipes may not touch components within a unit.
IMPORTANT
If touching with an internal component, it will generate abnormal sounds and/or vibrations.

How to remove the side cover

Please remove the screw of a side cover and remove to the front.
●
Carry out the on site piping work with the service valve fully closed.
●
Give sufficient protection to a pipe end (compressed and blazed, or with an adhesive tape) so that water
or foreign matters may not enter the piping.
●
Bend a pipe to a radius as large as practical.(R100〜R150) Do not bend a pipe repeatedly to correct

its form.

●
Flare connection is used between the unit and refrigerant pipe. Flare a pipe after engaging a flare nut
onto it. Flare dimensions for R410A are different from those for conventional R407C. Although we
recommend the use of flaring tools designed specifically for R410A, conventional flaring tools can also
be used by adjusting the measurement of protrusion B with a protrusion control gauge.
●
The pipe should be anchored every 1.5m or less to isolate the vibration.
● Tighten a flare joint securely with a double spanner.
Do not apply force beyond proper fastening torque in tightening the flare nut.
CAUTION
Fix both liquid and gas service valves at the valve main bodies as illustrated on the right, and then fasten them, applying appropriate fastening torque.

5) Air tightness test
① Although outdoor and indoor units themselves have been tested for air tightness at the factory, check the connecting pipes after the installation work for air tightness from the service valve's
check joint equipped on the outdoor unit side. While conducting a test, keep the service valve shut all the time.
a) Raise the pressure to 0.5 MPa, and then stop. Leave it for five minutes to see if the pressure drops.
b) Then raise the pressure to 1.5 MPa, and stop. Leave it for five more minutes to see if the pressure drops.
c) Then raise the pressure to the specified level (4.15 MPa), and record the ambient temperature and the pressure.
d) If no pressure drop is observed with an installation pressurized to the specified level and left for about one day, it is acceptable. When the ambient Temperature fall 1°C, the pressure also
fall approximately 0.01 MPa. The pressure, if changed, should be compensated for.
e) If a pressure drop is observed in checking e) and a) – d), a leak exists somewhere. Find a leak by applying bubble test liquid to welded parts and flare joints and repair it. After repair,
conduct an air-tightness test again.
② In conducting an air-tightness test, use nitrogen gas and pressurize the system with nitrogen gas from the gas side. Do not use a medium other than nitrogen gas under any circumstances.
6) Evacuation

Run the vacuum pump for at least one hour after the vacuum gauge shows -101kPa or lower. (-755mmHg or lower)

About brazing
Brazing must be performed under a nitrogen gas flow.
Without nitrogen gas, a large quantity of foreign matters (oxidized film) are created,
causing a critical failure from capillary tube or expansion valve clogging.
Plug the end of the pipe with tape, or other
material, and fill the pipe with nitrogen gas.
