Connecting Water Pipes To The Indoor Unit Or Mono-Bloc Unit - Panasonic Aquarea WH-ADC0309J3E5 Planning And Installation Manual

Installation
► Using a wrong tool, e.g. a pipe wrench, can deform or damage the connection. This can
► Too high a tightening torque can cause deformation and consequently leakages.

6.7.1 Connecting water pipes to the indoor unit or mono-bloc unit

Note
Follow the planning documents to connect the water pipes of the heating circuit or follow the
application examples (→
Carry out the following steps to connect the water pipes of the heating circuit to the indoor unit
(hydrokit or All in One unit) or the mono-bloc unit:

cause leakages. Therefore, use a suitable adjustable spanner
Therefore, only use a torque wrench to tighten and an adjustable spanner to counter it
(see the illustration above).
5.6 Application examples, p.
1. Install the required pipes, valves, strainers and other components according to the planning
documents.
2. Connect the water circuit to the supply water outlet and return water inlet of the indoor unit or
mono-bloc unit.
3. Use suitable flare nuts to connect the return water inlet (marked "WATER IN") and supply
water outlet (marked "WATER OUT"). Use a torque wrench to tighten the flare nut, and apply
the allowable tightening torque in each case (→

4. Only for heat pump models of the F and G Generation: Install a field-supplied strainer (mesh
width at least 500 to 600 µm) before the return water inlet of the indoor unit or mono-bloc unit
to protect the heat pump. It is advisable to install a shut-off valve before and after the strainer
to facilitate later servicing work on the strainer.
This does not apply to the hydrokit and All in One unit of the J or H Generation, because a
strainer with two shut-off valves is integrated as standard with these.
