Twist the flared nut on the connection pipe of outdoor valves. Twisting method is the same as for indoor pipe connection. Below is the piping diagram of GMV-Y36WL/A-T(U), GMV-Y48WL/A-T(U), GMV-Y60WL/A-T(U), According to customer requirement or space limit, outlet pipe can be installed from the front, right or rear side.
Photovoltaic Multi VRF Branch shall be isolated by insulating material that can bear 120℃(248℉)or even higher temperature. The attached foam of branch cannot be taken as insulating material. 4.3.6 Thermal Insulation for Pipeline (1) For multi VRF system, every copper pipe should be labeled so as to avoid misconnection. (2) At the branch inlet, leave at least 500mm(19-3/4inch) straight pipe section.
(3) Use vacuum pump to withdraw the air inside indoor unit and connection pipe from the outdoor valve, as shown below.
