To flare the pipe end
CAUTION
▪ Incomplete flaring may cause refrigerant gas leakage.
▪ Do NOT re-use flares. Use new flares to prevent
refrigerant gas leakage.
▪ Use flare nuts that are included with the unit. Using
different flare nuts may cause refrigerant gas leakage.
1
Cut the pipe end with a pipe cutter.
2
Remove burrs with the cut surface facing down so that the
chips do NOT enter the pipe.

3
Remove the flare nut from the stop valve and put the flare nut
on the pipe.
4
Flare the pipe. Set exactly at the position as shown in the
following figure.

6.3.6
To connect the refrigerant piping to the
indoor unit
CAUTION
Install refrigerating pipe or components in a position where
they are unlikely to be exposed to any substance which
may corrode refrigerant containing components, unless the
components are constructed of materials which are
inherently resistant to being corroded or are suitably
protected against being so corroded.
WARNING: FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The R32 refrigerant (if applicable) in this unit is mildly
flammable. Refer to the outdoor unit specifications for the
type of refrigerant to be used.
▪
Pipe length
. Keep refrigerant piping as short as possible.
▪
Flare connections
. Connect refrigerant piping to the unit using
flare connections.
▪
Insulation
. Insulate the refrigerant piping on the indoor unit as

1
Turn up the seams of the insulation pieces.
2
Attach to the base of the unit.
3
Tighten the cable ties on the insulation pieces.
4
Wrap the sealing pad from the base of the unit to the top of
the flare nut.
NOTICE
Make sure to insulate all refrigerant piping. Any exposed
piping might cause condensation.
6.3.7
To check for leaks
NOTICE
Do NOT exceed the unit's maximum working pressure (see
"PS High" on the unit name plate).
NOTICE
Make sure to use a recommended bubble test solution
from your wholesaler. Do not use soap water, which may
cause cracking of flare nuts (soap water may contain salt,
which absorbs moisture that will freeze when the piping
gets cold), and/or lead to corrosion of flared joints (soap
water may contain ammonia which causes a corrosive
effect between the brass flare nut and the copper flare).
1
Charge the system with nitrogen gas up to a gauge pressure of
at least 200 kPa (2 bar). It is recommended to pressurize to
3000 kPa (30 bar) in order to detect small leaks.
2
Check for leaks by applying the bubble test solution to all
connections.
3
Discharge all nitrogen gas.

Connecting the electrical wiring
6.4.1
About connecting the electrical wiring
Typical workflow
Connecting the electrical wiring typically consists of the following
stages:
1
Making sure the power supply system complies with the
electrical specifications of the units.
2
Connecting the electrical wiring to the outdoor unit.
3
Connecting the electrical wiring to the indoor unit.
4
Connecting the main power supply.
