INFORMATION
Usage of reducers might be required based on the indoor
unit. See "5.2.1 Connections between outdoor and indoor
reducers" [ 4 13] for more information.

Refrigerant piping material
▪ Piping material: phosphoric acid deoxidised seamless copper
▪ Flare connections: Only use annealed material.
▪ Piping temper grade and thickness:

Depending on the applicable legislation and the maximum
working pressure of the unit (see "PS High" on the unit name
plate), larger piping thickness might be required.

Refrigerant piping insulation

▪ Use polyethylene foam as insulation material:
▪ with a heat transfer rate between 0.041 and 0.052 W/mK (0.035
and 0.045 kcal/mh°C)
▪ with a heat resistance of at least 120°C
▪ Insulation thickness

If the temperature is higher than 30°C and the humidity is higher
than RH 80%, the thickness of the insulation materials should be at
least 20 mm to prevent condensation on the surface of the
insulation.
Use separate thermal insulation pipes for the gas and liquid
refrigerant piping.
5.1.3 Refrigerant piping length and height
difference
The shorter the refrigerant piping, the better the performance of the
system.
The piping length and height differences must comply with the
following requirements.

Connecting the refrigerant piping

DANGER: RISK OF BURNING/SCALDING
CAUTION
▪ No brazing or welding on site for units with R32
refrigerant charge during shipment.
▪ During installation of the refrigeration system, joining of
parts with at least one part charged shall be performed
taking into account the following requirements: inside
occupied spaces non-permanent joints are NOT
allowed for R32 refrigerant except for site made joints
directly connecting the indoor unit to piping. Site made
joints directly connecting piping to indoor units shall be
of non-permanent type.
CAUTION
Do NOT connect the embedded branch piping and the
outdoor unit when only carrying out piping work without
connecting the indoor unit in order to add another indoor
unit later.
