Precautions for New Refrigerant (R-410A) SiBE37-701_B
459 Precautions for New Refrigerant (R-410A)
1.3 Service Tools
R-410A is used under higher working pressure, compared to previous refrigerants (R-22, R-407C).
Furthermore, the refrigerating machine oil has been changed from Suniso oil to Ether oil, and if
oil mixing is occurred, sludge results in the refrigerants and causes other problems. Therefore,
gauge manifolds and charge hoses that are used with a previous refrigerant (R-22, R-407C) can
not be used for products that use new refrigerants.
Be sure to use dedicated tools and devices.

As for the charge mouthpiece and packing, 1/2UNF20 is necessary for mouthpiece size of
charge hose.
