Heat insulating process
• After drain check, covering the heat insulator for drain connecting section, wrap the drain pipe with heat insulator
(Locally procured) without clearance from the end of the drain pipe connecting port of the indoor unit.

REFRIGERANT PIPING AND EVACUATING
n
Refrigerant Piping
1. If the outdoor units are to be mounted on a wall, make
sure that the supporting platform is sufficiently strong.
The platform should be designed and manufactured to
maintain its strength over a long period of time, and
sufficient consideration should be given to ensuring that
the outdoor unit will not fall.
2.
Use general copper pipes with a wall thickness of
0.8 mm for Ø12.7 mm, and with a wall thickness of
1.0 mm for Ø28.6 mm (half hard).
Do not use any copper pipes with a wall thickness
less than these thicknesses.
3. Flare nut and flare works are also different from those of
the conventional refrigerant.
Take out the flare nut attached to the main unit of the air
conditioner, and use it.
REQUIREMENT
When the refrigerant pipe is long, provide support brackets
at intervals of 2.5 to 3 m to clamp the refrigerant pipe.
Otherwise, abnormal sound may be generated.
CAUTION
IMPORTANT 4 POINTS FOR PIPING WORK
1. Remove dust and moisture from the inside of the
connecting pipes.
2. Tight connection (between pipes and unit)
3. Evacuate the air in the connecting pipes using VACUUM
PUMP.
4. Check the gas leakage. (Connected points)

Difference
They vary according to the outdoor unit.
For details, refer to the Installation Manual attached to
the outdoor unit.
Flaring
• Cut the pipe with a pipe cutter.
Remove burrs completely.
Remaining burrs may cause gas leakage.
• Insert a flare nut into the pipe, and flare the pipe.
As the flaring sizes of R410A differ from those of
refrigerant R22, the flare tools newly manufactured for
R410A are recommended.
However, the conventional tools can
be used by adjusting projection
margin of the copper pipe.

In case of flaring for R410A with the
conventional flare tool, pull it out approx.
0.5 mm more than that for R22 to adjust to
the specified flare size.
The copper pipe gauge is useful for
adjusting projection margin size.
