8.2.2 Installation of the Connection Pipe
Connecting piping for indoor unit and outdoor unit are in manifold mode. (As shown below).
1) Piping between the Indoor and Outdoor Units
● If the liquid and gas stop valves which have the sign of A , B, C, D or E have not been connected to the indoor units, please turn off the
screw cap with the spanner airproof.
● Refer to Fig.5 for the moments of torque for tightening screws.
● Let the flare end of the copper pipe point at the screw and then tighten the screw by hand.
● After that, tighten the screw by the torque wrench unit it clatters (as shown in Fig.5).
● The bending degree of the pipe can not be too small; otherwise it will crack. And please use a pipe tube bender to bend the pipe.
● Wrap the exposed refrigerant pipe and the joints by sponge and then tighten them with the plastic tape.
CAUTION!
①
. During the connection of the indoor unit and the refrigerant pipe, never pull any joints of the indoor unit by force;
otherwise the capillary pipe or other pipe may crack, which then would result in leakage.
②
. The refrigerant pipe should be supported by brackets, that is, don’t let the unit withstand the weight of it.
③
. If the piping connection size of outdoor unit does not match the piping connection size of indoor unit, use the piping
connection dimension of indoor unit. And use different-diameter joints which is installing on the
place of the piping connection to connect the indoor unit.
CAUTION!
● For the Free Match system, each pipe should be labeled to tell which system it belongs to avoid mistaken inaccurate piping.
