Using The Stop Valve And Service Port; To Remove The Pinched Pipes - Daikin RWEYQ8T9Y1B Installer And User Manual

f Nitrogen
▪ Do NOT use anti-oxidants when brazing pipe joints.
Residue can clog pipes and break equipment.
▪ Do NOT use flux when brazing copper-to-copper refrigerant
piping. Use phosphor copper brazing filler alloy (BCuP), which
does not require flux.
Flux has an extremely harmful influence on refrigerant piping
systems. For instance, if chlorine based flux is used, it will cause
pipe corrosion or, in particular, if the flux contains fluorine, it will
deteriorate the refrigerant oil.

To fully open the Ø19.1 mm~Ø25.4 mm stop valve, turn the
hexagonal wrench until a torque between 27 and 33 N•m is
achieved.
Inadequate torque may cause leakage of refrigerant and breakage of
the stop valve cap.

NOT damage it.
▪ After handling the stop valve, tighten the stop valve cover
securely, and check for refrigerant leaks. For the tightening
torque, refer to the table below.
To handle the service port
▪ Always use a charge hose equipped with a valve depressor pin,
since the service port is a Schrader type valve.
▪ After handling the service port, make sure to tighten the service
port cover securely. For the tightening torque, refer to the table
below.
▪ Check for refrigerant leaks after tightening the service port cover.
