REFRIGERANT PIPING

• If refrigerant gas has leaked during the installation work, ventilate the room immediately.
• If the leaked refrigerant gas comes in contact with fire, noxious gas may generate.
• After the installation work, confirm that refrigerant gas does not leak.
• If refrigerant gas leaks into the room and flows near a fire source, such as a cooking range, noxious gas may
generate.
When the refrigerant pipe is long, set the support brackets to fix the pipe with 2.5 to 3m intervals. If the pipe is
not fixed, abnormal sound may generate.
Be sure to use the flare nuts attached to the indoor unit or those for R410A.
Permissible pipe length and permissible height difference
They are different according to the used outdoor unit. For details, refer to the Installation Manual attached to the
outdoor unit.

OK
90˚
2. Insert a flare nut into the pipe, and flare the pipe.
As the flaring sizes of R410A differ from those of
refrigerant R22, the flare tools newly manufactured
for R410A are recommended.
However, the conventional tools can be used by
adjusting projection margin of the copper pipe.
