<Note>
• For pipe welding, do not use antioxidant, for its residue may cause tube blocking and component fault.
• For pipe welding, do not use flux. If the flux is chlorine product, it will corrode the tube; if it contains fluorine, it will
even cause detrimental effects to the refrigerant system, such as refrigerant oil deterioration. Please do not use
phosphor copper for welding material (BCup-2).
<Note>
• Excessive tightening will result in cracking at the flare and refrigerant leakage.
• To weld the refrigerant pipe, please make nitrogen replacement (*1), or send nitrogen (*2) into the refrigerant pipe
while welding the pipe (refer to Fig.3). Finally use the flare or flange to connect the indoor unit and connection
kit.
(*1) Nitrogen replacement method is provided in the multi-split system work manual.
(*2) If nitrogen flowing and welding proceed simultaneously, do use pressure reducing valve. Approximately 0.02
MPa (0.2 Kg/cm with a slight feeling of breeze) pressure is quite proper.
