CAUTION
Fasten the unit securely with Special nuts A and B.
4. PIPE INSTALLATION
CAUTION
Be more careful that foreign matter (oil, water, etc.) does not enter the piping than with
refrigerant R410A models. Also, when storing the piping, securely seal the openings by
pinching, taping, etc.
While welding the pipes, be sure to blow dry nitrogen gas through them.
4.1. Selecting the pipe material
CAUTION
Do not use existing pipes from another refrigeration system or refrigerant.
Use pipes that have clean external and internal sides without any contamination which
may cause trouble during use, such as sulfur, oxide, dust, cutting waste, oil, or water.
It is necessary to use seamless copper pipes.
Material: Phosphor deoxidized seamless copper pipes
It is desirable that the amount of residual oil is less than 0.004 oz /100 ft (40 mg /10 m).
Do not use copper pipes that have a collapsed, deformed, or discolored portion (es-
pecially on the interior surface). Otherwise, the expansion valve or capillary tube may
become blocked with contaminants.
Improper pipe selection will degrade performance. As an air conditioner using R410A
incurs pressure higher than when using conventional (R22) refrigerant, it is necessary to
choose adequate materials.
•
Thicknesses of copper pipes used with R410A are as shown in the table.
•
Never use copper pipes thinner than those indicated in the table even if they are avail-
able on the market.
