REFRIGERANT PIPING WORK
3) After the work is finished, make sure to check that there is no
gas leak.
4) After checking for gas leaks, be sure to insulate the pipe connections.
• Insulate using the insulation for fitting included with the liquid and gas pipes. Besides, make sure the insulation for fitting
on the liquid and gas piping has its seams facing up.
(Tighten both edges with clamp.)
• For the gas piping, wrap the medium sealing pad over the insulation for fitting (flare nut part).

Caution
Be sure to insulate any field piping all the way to the piping connection inside the unit. Any exposed piping may cause
condensation or burns if touched.
Cautions on Pipe Handling
• Protect the open end of the pipe against dust and moisture.
(Tighten both edges with clamp.)
• All pipe bends should be as gentle as possible. Use a pipe bender for
bending.
(Bending radius should be 30 to 40 mm or larger.)
Selection of Copper and Heat Insulation materials
When using commercial copper pipes and fittings, observe the following:
• Insulation material: Polyethylene foam
Heat transfer rate: 0.041 to 0.052W/mK (0.035 to 0.045 kcal/mh°C)
Refrigerant gas pipe's surface temperature reaches 110°C max.
Choose heat insulation materials that will withstand this temperature.
• Be sure to insulate both the gas and liquid piping and to provide insulation dimensions as below.
Gas side
25/35 class
O.D. 9.5mm
Also, when subject to high humidity, heat insulation of the refrigerant
piping (the unit piping and branch piping) must be further reinforced.
Reinforce the insulation when installing the unit near bathrooms,
kitchens, and other similar locations.
Refer to the following:
• 30°C, more than 75% RH: 20 mm Min. in thickness
If the insulation is not sufficient, condensation may form on the surface
of the insulation.
• Use separate thermal insulation pipes for gas and liquid refrigerant pipes.

Measure the length of the gas
pipe as you will have to cover
it with the sealing tape.
