13. Installation
Performing leak test and insulation
Before completing the installation (insulating hose and pipes), you must check for gas leakage and when there is no leakage, you
may insulate the pipes and hoses .
Leak test
Use a gas detector to check the connection part of the pipes for gas leakage .
Insulation
Selecting the insulator of refrigerant pipe
f Insulate the gas pipe and liquid pipe by referring to the thickness of insulation for each pipe size .
f The standard temperature and humidity condition is 30 °C (86 °F) with humidity below 85 % . I f the condition is in high
humidity, use one grade thicker .

polyethylene foam .
- Make sure that the opening part of the insulation to face up .
2 . Wrap the refrigerant pipes and drain pipes with insulation .
