Table 3-2-1 Thicknesses of annealed copper pipes
2.Joints
For copper pipes, flare joints or socket joints are used. Prior to use, be sure to remove all contaminants.
a) Flare Joints
Flare joints used to connect the copper pipes cannot be used for pipings whose outer diameter exceeds 20
mm. In such a case, socket joints can be used.
Sizes of flare pipe ends, flare joint ends and flare nuts are as shown in Tables 3-2-3 to 3-2-6 below.
b) Socket Joints
Socket joints are such that they are brazed for connections, and used mainly for thick pipings whose
diameter is larger than 20 mm.
Thicknesses of socket joints are as shown in Table 3-2-2.

3-2-2. Processing of Piping Materials
When performing the refrigerant piping installation, care should be taken to ensure that water or dust does not
enter the pipe interior, that no other oil than lubricating oils used in the installed air-water heat pump is used, and
that refrigerant does not leak. When using lubricating oils in the piping processing, use such lubricating oils whose
water content has been removed. When stored, be sure to seal the container with an airtight cap or any other
cover.
1.Flare processing procedures and precautions
a) Cutting the Pipe
By means of a pipe cutter, slowly cut the pipe so that it is not deformed.
b) Removing Burrs and Chips
If the flared section has chips or burrs, refrigerant leakage may occur.
Carefully remove all burrs and clean the cut surface before installation.
