(2) Characteristics
a) Pipe sleeve
Copper pipes as R410A pipe sleeves must have a thickness as shown in Table 3 (see Page 59)
and Tables 5 and 6 (see Page 61), and sizes of flaring and flare nuts different from those of R22.
Therefore, be sure to select pipe sleeves suitable for R410A.
b) Insulated copper pipes
Before using insulated copper pipes, ensure their thickness is suitable for R410A.
c) Bare copper pipes
Be sure to use bare copper pipes of a thickness as shown in Table 3 (see Page 59) and try to keep
them clean. The surface of bare copper pipes is exposed, so be especially careful to handle them
and mark them to prevent misuse.
(3) Precautions before mounting
Pay attention to the following during pipe connection.
a) Before connecting to the appliance, use caps, etc. to seal all pipe opening.
b) Be especially careful in pipe mounting in rainy days.
If water enters the pipe, the lubricant may deteriorate, which causes failure of the appliance.
c) Connect the pipes as quickly as possible.
If the pipes are kept open for a long time, please fully charge them with nitrogen or use a
vacuum pump for drying.
7.2.4 Welding
(1) Processing
connection
Due to fusion cast between the surfaces of joints, which produces very high adhesive strength, be
sure to leave adequate space for welding and keep adequate gap between the surfaces of joints. The
minimum depth of penetration of joint of copper pipe, the outside diameter of inner pipe and the
gap between the outer pipe and the inner pipe are shown in Table 10. If copper brazing filler is used,
the pipe connection is the most secure when the gap is kept between about 0.05~0.1mm.
Table 10 Minimum depth of penetration and gap between copper pipe and joint
* When inserting the pipe, either process the end of the pipe or connect the pipe with a sleeve joint
through welding.
(2) Brazing filler
a) Alloy brazing filler
Alloy mainly composed of silver and copper is used to bond iron, copper or copper alloy. In
spite of its outstanding solderability, it’s expensive.
b) Phosphor bronze brazing filler
Phosphor bronze brazing filler is generally used to bond copper or copper alloy.
c) Low melting temperature solder
Alloy of tin and lead. Conventional solder. Due to its weak adhesive strength, it can’t be used for
refrigerant pipe welding.
* Notes:
1) BCuP reacts with sulfur easily and produces a complex aqueous solution, which may cause
gas leakage. Therefore, please use other types of brazing filler for SPA, etc. and apply paint
on pipe surface.
2) If welding is needed during servicing, please use the same type of brazing filler.
