Connection of refrigerant pipe
Connect all the refrigerant pipes with flare connecting
work.
• Since the atmospheric pressure only is sealed
as the sealing gas, it is not abnormal that
"Pushu..." sound is not heard when the flare
nut is removed.
• Be sure to use a double spanner for pipe
connecting work of the indoor unit.
Work using double spanner
• Refer to the following table for tightening torque.

Airtight test/Air purge, etc.
For airtight test, air purge, addition of refrigerant, and
gas leak check, follow the Installation Manual attached
to the outdoor unit.
Be sure to use the tool such as charge hose
exclusive to R410A.
Do not turn on the power until the airtight test and
the vacuuming have finished. (If turning on the
power, the incorporated PMV is closed fully and
the period until the vacuuming finishes elongates.
Open fully valves of the outdoor unit
Gas leak check
Check with a leak detector or soap water whether gas
leaks or not, from the pipe connecting section or cap
of the valve.
Use a leak detector manufactured exclusively for
HFC refrigerant (R410A, R134a, etc.).
Heat insulating process
Perform heat insulating for pipes at liquid side and gas
side separately.
In cooling time, temperature at both liquid and gas
sides becomes lower.
Therefore, perform heat insulating process sufficiently
to avoid dewing.
• For heat insulator of pipe at gas side, be sure to use
one with heat-resisting temp.120°C or more.
Apply the heat insulation to the pipe connecting
section of the indoor unit securely up to the root
without exposure of the pipe. (The pipe exposed to
the outside causes water leak.)
