The connections to the indoor units and all indoor units should also be leak and
vacuum tested. Keep any possible (field supplied) field piping valves open as well.
Refer to the indoor unit installation manual for more details. Leak test and vacuum

flow chart earlier described in this chapter (see
18.3.4 To perform a leak test
The leak test must satisfy the specifications of EN378‑2.
To check for leaks: Vacuum leak test
1
Evacuate the system from the liquid and gas piping to –100.7 kPa (–1.007 bar)
(5 Torr absolute) for more than 2 hours.

Once reached, turn off the vacuum pump and check that the pressure does
not rise for at least 1 minute.
