MULTI Flaring Procedure One of the main causes of refrigerant leaks is a defective connection. For LG HVAC systems, the installer needs to know how perform flared connections successfully. • During installation, it is imperative to keep the piping system free of contaminants and debris such as copper burrs, slag, or carbon dust.

Ensure all refrigerant piping is insulated. Exposed refrigerant piping will cause burns if touched. Wrap all refrigerant and condensate piping including field-provided isolation ball valves and flexible pipe connection kits provided by LG. All pipes must be insulated and each pipe must be separately wrapped. Any exposed piping will generate condensate or will cause burns if touched.

LG offers, free of charge, LG Air Conditioner Technical Solution (LATS) software—a total design solution for LG air conditioning systems. To reduce the risk of designing an improper applied system or one that will not operate correctly, LG prefers that LATS software be used on all projects.

Always follow local codes when selecting and installing copper pipe and piping system components. Approved piping for use with LG HVAC products will be marked “R410 RATED” along the length of the pipe. Piping wall thickness must meet local code requirements and be approved for a maximum operating pressure of 551 psi. When bending piping, try to keep the number of bends to a minimum, and use the largest radii possible to reduce the equivalent length of installed piping;...

Failure to do so will cause significant performance degradation. Proper leak checks must be performed. Using isolation valves does not automatically void any LG product warranty, however, a limited warranty will be voided in whole or part must any field supplied accessory fail in any way that causes product failure.

Pipe Sleeves at Penetrations LG recommends that all pipe penetrations through walls, floors, and pipes buried underground be properly insulated and routed through an appropriate wall sleeve of sufficient size to prevent compression of refrigerant pipe insulation and promote free movement of the pipe within the sleeve.
