Flaring The Pipe End; Refrigerant Piping - Daikin RXP50K3V1B Installation Manual

Outdoor Unit Installation
3.

Flaring the pipe end

1) Cut the pipe end with a pipe cutter.
2) Remove burrs with the cut surface facing
downward so that the chips do not enter the pipe.
3) Put the flare nut on the pipe.
4) Flare the pipe.
5) Check that the flaring is properly made.
WARNING
• Do not use mineral oil on flared part.
• Prevent mineral oil from getting into the system as this would reduce the lifetime of the units.
• Never use piping which has been used for previous installations. Only use parts which are delivered with the unit.
• Never install a drier to this R32 unit in order to guarantee its lifetime.
• The drying material may dissolve and damage the system.
• Incomplete flaring may cause refrigerant gas leakage.
• Protect or enclose refrigerant tubing to avoid mechanical damage.

Refrigerant piping

CAUTION
• Use the flare nut fixed to the main unit. (To prevent cracking of the flare nut by aged deterioration.)
• To prevent gas leakage, apply refrigeration oil only to the inner surface of the flare. (Use refrigeration oil for R410A or R32.)
• Use torque wrenches when tightening the flare nuts to prevent damage to the flare nuts and gas leakage.
• After the piping work is finished (after checking for gas leaks), open the stop valves or the compressor might break down.
Align the centres of both flares and tighten the flare nuts 3 or 4 turns by hand. Then tighten them fully with the torque wrenches.
Do not apply refrigeration
oil to the outer surface.
Flare nut
Do not apply refrigeration oil to
the flare nut to avoid tightening
