4. Installation Instructions
Refrigerant tube port
Use caulking, putty, or a similar material to fill any gaps at
the refrigerant tube port (
ter, dust or foreign substances from entering the unit.
* Perform this work even if the tubing is routed out in a
downward direction.
Tighten each cap as specified below.

removing or installing the balance tube

monkey wrench to the hexagonal part at
the top of the valve.
(If force is applied to this part,
gas leakage will occur.)

Precautions for brazing
Be sure to replace the air inside the tube with nitrogen to prevent oxide film from forming during the brazing process. Be sure
to use a damp cloth or other means to cool the valve unit during brazing.

2. Use a pressure-reducing valve on the nitrogen tank.
3. Do not use agents intended to prevent the formation of oxide film. They will adversely affect the
refrigeration oil, and may cause equipment failure.
4. The balance tube is not used if only 1 outdoor unit is installed. Use the unit in the same condi-
tions as when it was shipped from the factory.

Use two monkey wrenches, as shown in the figure,
when removing the liquid tube valve flare nut.
1. Do not apply a wrench to the valve cap when removing or
installing the flare nuts. Doing so may damage the valve.
2. If the valve cap is left off for a long period of time, refrigerant
leakage will occur. Therefore, do not leave the valve cap off.
3. Applying refrigerant oil to the flare surface can be effective in
preventing gas leakage, however be sure to use a refrigerant
oil which is suitable for the refrigerant that is used in the system.
(This unit utilizes R410A refrigerant, and the refrigerant oil is
ether oil (synthetic oil). However, hub oil (synthetic oil) can also
be used.)
