4.3. Protection of pipes

• Protect the pipes to prevent the entry of moisture and dust.
• Especially pay attention when passing the pipes through a hole or connecting the end of
a pipe to the outdoor unit.

5. PIPE INSTALLATION

5.1. Brazing

If air or another type of refrigerant enters the refrigera-
tion cycle, the internal pressure in the refrigeration
cycle will become abnormally high and prevent the
unit from exerting its full performance.
Apply nitrogen gas while brazing the pipes.
Nitrogen gas pressure: 0.02 MPa (= pressure felt suf-
ficiently on the back of your hand)
If a pipe is brazed without applying nitrogen gas, it will create an oxidation film.
This can degrade performance or damage the parts in the unit (such as the compressor
or valves).
Do not use flux to braze pipes. If the flux is the chlorine type, it will cause the pipes to
corrode.
In addition, if the flux contains fluoride, it will affect the refrigerant piping system due to
deterioration of refrigerant oil.
For brazing material, use phosphor copper that does not require flux.

5.2. Indoor unit pipe connections

5.3. Opening the knockout hole

Be careful to prevent panel deformation or damaged while opening the knockout hole.
To prevent cutting of the wiring after the knockout hole was opened, remove the burrs
along the edge.
In addition, to prevent rusting, painting the edge with rust preventive paint is recom-
mended.
The piping can be connected from 2 directions; the front or the bottom.
(Knockout holes are provided so that the piping can be connected from 2 different direc-
tions.)
Use the front knockout hole, as required.
