▪ Make sure that the total length of the piping connected to the joint
is absolute straight for more than 500 mm. Only if a straight field
piping of more than 120 mm is connected, more than 500 mm of
straight section can be ensured.

To protect against contamination
Seal the piping and wiring intake holes using sealing material (field
supply), otherwise the capacity of the unit will drop and small
animals may enter the machine.
14.3.6
Using the stop valve and service port
To handle the stop valve
Take the following guidelines into account:
▪ Make sure to keep the appropriate stop valves open during
operation. In case of heat pump system, the gas suction stop
valve remains in the closed position.
▪ The gas and liquid stop valves are factory closed.
▪ Do NOT apply excessive force to the stop valve. Doing so may
break the valve body.
To open the stop valve
1
Remove the stop valve cover.
2
Insert a hexagon wrench into the stop valve and turn the stop
valve counterclockwise.
3
When the stop valve cannot be turned any further, stop turning.
4
Install the stop valve cover.
Result:
The valve is now open.
To fully open the Ø19.1~Ø25.4 mm stop valve, turn the hexagonal
wrench until a torque between 27 and 33 N•m is achieved.
Inadequate torque may cause leakage of refrigerant and breakage of
the stop valve cap.
To close the stop valve
1
Remove the stop valve cover.
2
Insert a hexagon wrench into the stop valve and turn the stop
valve clockwise.
3
When the stop valve cannot be turned any further, stop turning.
4
Install the stop valve cover.
Result:
The valve is now closed.
To handle the stop valve cover
▪ The stop valve cover is sealed where indicated by the arrow. Do
NOT damage it.
▪ After handling the stop valve, tighten the stop valve cover
securely, and check for refrigerant leaks. For the tightening
torque, refer to the table below.
