6-1 Selection of piping material
• Make sure that the inner side and outer side of the piping used is clean and free of contaminants, such as sulphur, oxide, dust, chips, oil and fat, and water.
It is desirable that the maximum oil adhesion in the piping is 30 mg per 10 m.
• Use the following type of refrigerant piping.
Material: Seamless phosphorus deoxidized copper tube (C1220T-O for a maximum outer diameter of 15.9 mm and C1220T-1/2H for a minimum
outer diameter of 19.1 mm)
Refrigerant piping size and wall thickness: Decide the size and thickness from the following table.
(This product uses R410A. The withstand pressure of O type may be insufficient if it is used for piping with a minimum diameter of
19.1 mm. Therefore, be sure to use 1/2 H type with a minimum thickness of 1.0 mm.
If O type is used for piping with a minimum diameter of 19.1 mm, a minimum thickness of 1.2 mm will be required. In that case, be sure
to perform the blazing of each joint.)
• Be sure to perform piping work within the range specified in the
following table
