Removing the pinched piping
When connecting refrigerant piping to the outdoor unit, first
remove the pinched piping. Do not vent gases into the
atmosphere.
Removing of the pinched piping must be carried out according to
the following procedure:
1.
Make sure the stop valves are closed.
2.
Connect a charge hose to the service ports of all stop
valves.
3.
Recover the gas from the pinched piping.

When all the gas is recovered from the pinched piping,
dissolve the brazing using a burner and remove the
pinched piping.

Precautions when knocking out knock holes
■
Be sure to avoid damaging the casing
■
After knocking out the holes, we recommend you
remove the burrs and paint the edges and areas
around the edges using the repair paint to prevent
rusting.
■
When passing electrical wiring through the knock
holes, wrap the wiring with protective tape to
prevent damage.
Any gas remaining inside the stop valve may blow off
the pinched piping, causing damage or injury.

Precautions when connecting field piping.
■
Perform brazing at the gas stop valve
before brazing at the liquid stop valve.
■
Add brazing material as shown in the
figure.
■
Be sure to use the supplied accessory pipes when
carrying out piping work in the field.
■
Be sure that the field installed piping does not touch
other pipes, the bottom panel or side panel. Especially
for the bottom and side connection, be sure to protect
the piping with suitable insulation, to prevent it from
coming into contact with the casing.
