Connecting the refrigerant pipe There are two refrigerant pipes of different diameters: f A smaller one for the liquid refrigerant f A larger one for the gas refrigerant f The inside of copper pipe must be clean and have no dust or debris. 1.
Cutting/flaring the pipes 1. Make sure that you have the following required tools: pipe cutter, reamer, flaring tool and pipe holder. 2. If you want to shorten the pipe, cut it using a pipe cutter ensuring that the cut edge remains at 90° with the side of the pipe.
Performing leak test & insulation Leak test LEAK TEST WITH NITROGEN (before opening valves) In order to detect basic refrigerant leaks, the refrigerant pipes and system must be pressurized with nitrogen (using a pressure regulator) at a pressure above 4.1 MPa (595 psig ). This should be done before connecting a vacuum pump or releasing the factory R-410A charge.
Page 38
Performing leak test & insulation 5. Select the insulation of the refrigerant pipe. f Insulate the gas side and liquid side pipe. Thickness is selected according to pipe size. f Indoor temperature of 30 °C (86 °F) and humidity of 85% is the standard condition. If installing in a high humidity condition, increase insulation by one size by referring to the table below.
Drain pipe and drain hose installation Care must be taken when installing the drainpipe and drain hose for the indoor unit so that condensate water is drained correctly. Fix the flexible hose to the drainpipe. f Push the supplied drain hose as far as possible over the drain socket. f Tighten the metal clamp as shown in the picture.
