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.)
• Use torque wrenches when tightening the flare nuts to prevent damage to the flare nuts and gas leakage.
Align the centers of both flares and tighten the flare nuts 3 or 4 turns by hand. Then tighten them fully with the torque wrenches.
2-1. Caution on piping handling
1) Protect the open end of the pipe against dust and moisture.
2) All pipe bends should be as gentle as possible. Use a pipe bender
2-2. Selection of copper and heat insulation materials
When using commercial copper pipes and fittings, observe the following:
1) Insulation material: Polyethylene foam
2) Be sure to insulate both the gas and liquid piping and to provide insulation
O.D. 3/8 inch (9.5mm)
3) Use separate thermal insulation pipes for gas and liquid refrigerant pipes.
