To Remove The Pinched Pipes - Daikin RWEYQ8T9Y1B Installation And Operation Manual

To handle the stop valve cover
▪ The stop valve cover is sealed where indicated by the arrow. Do
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.

To remove the pinched pipes

NOTICE
In case of heat pump mode, do NOT remove the pinched
pipe of the gas line stop valve.

NOTICE
Do not connect the vacuum pump to the suction gas stop
valve if the unit is intended to run in heat pump mode. This
will increase the risk of unit failure.
3 Recover gas and oil from the pinched piping by using a
recovery unit.
CAUTION
Do not vent gases into the atmosphere.
4 When all gas and oil is recovered from the pinched piping,
disconnect the charge hose and close the service ports.
5 Cut off the upper part of the liquid, gas, and high pressure/low
pressure gas stop valve pipes along the black line. Use an
appropriate tool (e.g. a pipe cutter, a pair of nippers).
WARNING
Never remove the pinched piping by brazing.
Any gas or oil remaining inside the stop valve may blow off
the pinched piping.
6 Make sure that no particles remain in the pipe. Blow out any
particles with compressed air.
7 Wait until all oil is dripped out before continuing with the
connection of the field piping in case the recovery was not
complete.
