CAUTION*
Max. Elevation: A Max
= 33ft / 10m (09k / 12k)
= 50ft / 15m (18k / 24k)
In case the height of A is more than
15ft / 5m, an oil trap should be
installed every 16-23ft /5-7m
Max. Length: B Max
= 50ft / 15m (09k / 12k)

*NOTE: Oil trap is only required for
218JRDWD*, other multi-split systems
don’t require oil trap.
Step 3 - Installation of the Outdoor Unit (Cont.)
C. Install Copper Lineset
• The standard line set length is 25 feet. If
the installation length is different, adjust the
refrigerant charge by adding 0.2 oz/ft if the liquid
line is 1/4”, or 0.5 oz/ft if the liquid line is 3/8”.
• See table on page 15.
• Cut the line set to length.
• Place nut over the pipe and then flare with the
R-410A flaring tool.
NOTE:
Follow standard practices for creating
pipe flares. When cutting and reaming the
tubing, use caution to prevent dirt or debris
from entering the tubing. Remember to place
nut over the tubing before flaring.
• To join the line set, directly align the tubing
flare to the fitting on the other pipe. Slide the
nut onto the fitting and hand tighten.
• Torque the fittings according to the
specifications shown in the torque chart below.
• Two wrenches are required
to join the flare connection;
one standard wrench and
one torque wrench adjusted
to the proper settings.
• Repeat the process for
attaching the other end of
the line set.
D. Leak Test
• Remove the cap on the service valve.
• Using a tank of dry nitrogen and approved
regulator, charge the system with 150 psig of
dry nitrogen using mini split adapter to connect
the valve.
• Check for leaks at the flare fittings using soap
bubbles or another detection device. If a leak
is detected, make repairs to the fittings and
recheck. If no leaks are detected within 3
minutes, proceed.
• Using the same tank/regulator, charge the
system to 300 psig.
• Check for leaks as earlier. If no leaks are
detected within 3 minutes, proceed.
• Using the same tank/regulator, charge the
system to 500 psig.
• Check for leaks as earlier. Keep system
pressurized for at least 20 minutes.
WARNING
Do not use acetylene, oxygen,
compressed air or any mixture containing
anything other than dry nitrogen. Use only dry
nitrogen for pressure testing. Do not use mixtures
of hydrogen containing refrigerant and air above
atmospheric pressure for pressure testing, as they
may become flammable and could result in an
explosion. Refrigerant, when used as a trace
gas, should only be mixed with dry nitrogen for
pressurizing units. Failure to follow these
recommendations could result in death or serious
injury as well as equipment or property damage.
