4.2. Connecting pipes (Fig. 4-2)
Fig. 4-1 is a sample of piping system.
• When commercially available copper pipes are used, wrap liquid and gas pipes
with commercially available insulation materials (heat-resistant to 100°C [212°F] or
more, thickness of 12 mm [1/2 inch] or more).
• The indoor parts of the drain pipe should be wrapped with polyethylene foam insu-
lation materials (specific gravity of 0.03, thickness of 9 mm [23/64 inch] or more).
• Apply thin layer of refrigerant oil to pipe and joint seating surface before tightening
flare nut. A
• Use two wrenches to tighten piping connections. B
• Use leak detector or soapy water to check for gas leaks after connections are com-
pleted.
• Apply refrigerating machine oil over the entire flare seat surface. C
• Use the flare nuts for the following pipe size. D
Gas side Pipe size
Liquid side Pipe size
• When bending the pipes, be careful not to break them. Bend radius of 100 mm [3-
15/16 inch] to 150 mm [5-27/32 inch] is sufficient.
• Make sure the pipes do not contact the compressor. Abnormal noise or vibration
may result.
1 Pipes must be connected starting from the indoor unit.
Flare nuts must be tightened with a torque wrench.
2 Flare the liquid pipes and gas pipes and apply a thin layer of refrigeration oil
(Applied on site).
• When usual pipe sealing is used, refer to Table 1 for flaring of R410A refrigerant
pipes.
The size adjustment gauge can be used to confirm A measurements.
