3. Making Branch Connections

2
For branching tubes, install 150mm or larger (including reducer)
straight tubing up to the point where the tube branches
(or after the point where the tubes join together). (Fig. 2-142)
Using a tube cutter, cut the joints at the diameter required to match
the outside diameter of the tubing you are connecting.
3
(This is usually done at the installation site.)
The tube diameter depends on the total capacity of the indoor unit.
Note that you do not have to cut the joints if it already matches the
tubing end size. For size selection of the tube diameter, refer to the
Installation Instructions provided with the outdoor unit.
4
NOTE
Avoid forceful cutting that may harm the shape of the joints or tubing.
(Inserting the tubing will not be possible if the tube shape is not proper.)
Cut off as far away from stopper as possible. (Fig. 2-143)
5
After cutting the joints, be sure to remove burrs on the inside of the joints.
(If the joints have been squashed or dented badly, reshaped them using
a tube spreader.)
Make sure there is no dirt or other foreign substances inside the distribution
6
joint.
The distribution joint can be either horizontal or vertical. (Fig. 2-144)
In the case of horizontal, the L-shaped tubing must be slanted slightly
upward (15 to 30 ).
When brazing a pipe E to the reducer of which middle pipe inner
7
dimension is D as shown above chart, cut the middle pipe as long as
possible so that the pipe E can be inserted.
When brazing, replace air inside the tube with nitrogen gas to prevent
copper oxide from forming.
8
To insulate the distribution joint, use the supplied tubing insulation.
(If using insulation other than that supplied, make sure that its heat
resistance is 120 C or higher.)
For additional details, refer to the Installation Instructions provided with
the outdoor unit.
