REFRIGERANT PIPING WORK (4/5)
( How to operate the stop valve) (Refer to Fig. 1 O)
Use hexagonal wrenches 5mm.
To open:
1. Insert one hex-wrench onto the valve rod and turn counter-clockwise.
2. Stop when the valve rod no longer turns. It is now open.
To close:
1. Insert one hex-wrench on the valve rod and turn clockwise.
2. Stop when the valve rod no longer turns. It is now closed.
(PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING VALVE CAP)
)
• A seal is attached to the point indicated by the arrow. Take care not to damage it.
• Be sure to tighten the valve cap securely after operating the valves.

(PRECAUTIONS FOR CONNECTING PIPING)
Fig.10
Fig.11
• Take caution so that the refrigerant piping between the outdoor and indoor may not touch the compressor bolt and sound proof
cover and the plate as shown Fig 12.
• If installing the outdoor unit higher than the indoor unit, caulk the space around insulation and tubes because condensation on
the stop valves can seep through to the indoor unit side.
(PRECAUTIONS REGARDING INSULATION)
Enhance the insulation of the refrigerant piping according to the
installation conditions. If this is not done, condensation may form on the
surface of the insulation. Please refer to the target values shown below.
lnterunit piping for the
indoor and outdoor units
Compressor
• When the temperature and humidity conditions are 30
°
C and RH 75% or more:
thickness of the insulation is 15 mm or more.
• When the temperature and humidity conditions are 30
°
C and RH 80% or more:
thickness of the insulation is 20 mm or more.
• Be sure to insulate the liquid and gas sides interunit piping.
It may become the cause of refrigerant leakage if it is not insulated.
(Be sure to use insulating material which can resistant.)
'
Insulation of interunit piping must be carried out up to the
�
connection inside the casing.
•
If the piping is exposed to the atmosphere, it may cause sweating

the wiring touching the piping.

(PRECAUTIONS WHEN TIGHTENING FLARE NUTS)
• Be sure to remove the flare nuts with two spanners.
Then after the piping connection, tighten them using a spanner and torque wrench.
Fig.12
Refrigerant piping must be protected
from physical damage. Install a plastic
cover or equivalent.
• For the dimension of flared part, see the table 1.
• When making a flare connection. coat ether or ester oil only to the flare inner surface.
Then, turn the nut 3 to 4 times with your hand and screw in the nut.

• For the tightening torque, see the table 1.
• After all the piping has been connected, use nitrogen to perform a refrigerant leakage test.

If there is no torque wrench, use table 2 as a rule of thumb. When tightening a flare nut with a spanner harder and harder, there is a
point where the tightening torque suddenly increases. From that position, tighten the nut additionally the angle shown in table 2. After
the work is finished, check securely that there is no gas leakage. If the nut is not tightened as instructed, it may cause slow refrigerant
leakage and result in malfunction(such as does not cool /heat).
