Precautions when connecting refrigerant
piping
NOTICE
Make sure refrigerant piping installation complies with
applicable legislation. In Europe, EN378 is the applicable
standard.
NOTICE
Make sure the field piping and connections are not
subjected to stress.
WARNING
During tests, NEVER pressurize the product with a
pressure higher than the maximum allowable pressure (as
indicated on the nameplate of the unit).
WARNING
Take sufficient precautions in case of refrigerant leakage. If
refrigerant gas leaks, ventilate the area immediately.
Possible risks:
▪ Excessive refrigerant concentrations in a closed room
can lead to oxygen deficiency.
▪ Toxic gas may be produced if refrigerant gas comes
into contact with fire.
WARNING
Always recover the refrigerant. Do NOT release them
directly into the environment. Use a vacuum pump to
evacuate the installation.
NOTICE
After all the piping has been connected, make sure there is
no gas leak. Use nitrogen to perform a gas leak detection.

installation manual of the indoor units)
▪ Connecting the multi-connection piping kit
▪ Connecting the refrigerant branching kit
▪ Keeping in mind the guidelines for:
▪ Brazing
▪ Using the stop valves
▪ Removing the pinched pipes
