Refnet joint at first branch (counting from outdoor unit)
When using refnet joints at the first branch counted from the outdoor
unit side, choose from the following table in accordance with the
capacity of the outdoor unit.
Example:
Refnet joint A→B‑1.

Refnet joints at other branches
For refnet joints other than the first branch, select the proper branch
kit model based on the total capacity index of all indoor units
connected after the refrigerant branch.

To remove the spun pipes
WARNING
Any gas or oil remaining inside the stop valve may blow off
the spun piping.
If these instructions are NOT followed correctly it may
result in property damage or personal injury, which may be
serious depending on the circumstances.
Use the following procedure to remove the spun piping:
1
Make sure that the stop valves are fully closed.
2
Connect the vacuuming/recovery unit through a manifold to the
service port of all stop valves.

3
Recover gas and oil from the spun piping by using a recovery
unit.
CAUTION
Do not vent gases into the atmosphere.
4
When all gas and oil is recovered from the spun piping,
disconnect the charge hose and close the service ports.
5
Cut off the lower part of the gas and liquid stop valve pipes
along the black line. Use an appropriate tool (e.g. a pipe cutter).
WARNING
Never remove the spun piping by brazing.
Any gas or oil remaining inside the stop valve may blow off
the spun piping.
6
Wait until all oil has dripped out before continuing with the
connection of the field piping in case the recovery was not
complete.

To connect the refrigerant piping to the
outdoor unit
▪
Piping length.
Keep field piping as short as possible.
▪
Piping protection.
Protect the field piping against physical
damage.
