 After flared the pipe, the opening part must
be seal by end cover or adhesive tape to
avoid duct or exogenous impurity come into
the pipe.
7. Drill holes if the pipes need to pass the
wall.
8. According to the field condition to bend
the pipes so that it can pass the wall
smoothly.
9. Bind and wrap the wire together with the
insulated pipe if necessary.
10. Set the wall conduit
11. Set the supporter for the pipe.
12. Locate the pipe and fix it by supporter
 For horizontal refrigerant pipe, the distance
between supporters should not be exceed
1m.
 For vertical refrigerant pipe, the distance
between supporters should not be exceed
1.5m.
13. Connect the pipe to indoor unit and
outdoor unit by using two spanners.
 Be sure to use two spanners and proper
torque to fasten the nut, too large torque
will damage the flare, and too small torque
may cause leakage. Refer the following
table for different pipe connection.

13.4.3 First-Time Installation
Air and moisture in the refrigerant system
cause the following problems:
● Increases in system pressure
● Increases in operating current

● Decreases in cooling and heating efficiency
● Blocks in capillary tubing caused by
moisture in the refrigerant circuit freezing
● Corrosion of parts in the refrigerant system
caused by water
The indoor units and the pipes between
indoor and outdoor units must be tested for
leakages and evacuated to remove gas and
moisture from the system.
Gas leak check with soap water:
Apply soap water or a liquid neutral
detergent on the connections with a soft brush
to check for leakage in the pipe connecting
points. If bubbles emerge, the pipes are
leaking.
1. Air Purging Using the Vacuum Pump
1) Completely tighten the flare nuts on the
indoor and outdoor units. Confirm that both
the2-way and 3-way valves are set to the
closed position.
2) Connect the charge hose with the push pin
of the Handle Lo to the 3-way valve gas
service port.
3) Connect the charge hose of the Handle Hi
to the vacuum pump.
4) Fully open the Handle Lo of the manifold
valve.
5) Turn on the vacuum pump to begin
evacuation.
6) Conduct a 30-minute evacuation. Check
whether the compound meter indicates
-0.1Mpa(14.5Psi). If the meter does not
indicate -0.1Mpa(14.5Psi) after 30 minutes
has elapsed, continue evacuation for 20
