- No moisture in the pipe
- Until the connec-
tion is completed,
the plumbing pipe
entrance should be
strictly controlled.
- Stop plumbing at
rainy day.
- Pipe entrance
should be taken
side or bottom.
- When removal burr
after cutting pipe, pipe
entrance should be
taken down.
- Pipe entrance
should be fitted cap
when pass through
the walls.
- No dust in the pipe.

Nitrogen substitution method
Welding, as when heating without nitrogen substitution a large
amount of the oxide film is formed on the internal piping.
The oxide film is a caused by clogging EEV, Capillary, oil hole of accu-
mulator and suction hole of oil pump in compressor.
It prevents normal operation of the compressor.
In order to avoid this problem, Welding should be done after replacing
air by nitrogen gas.
When welding plumbing pipe, the work is required.

contain air)

Note) should not block the outlet side.
When the internal pressure in pipe is abo
ve the atmospheric pressure, pinhole is o
ccurred and it is a leakage cause.

Opening shutoff valve
1
Remove the cap and turn the valve counter clockwise with the
hexagon wrench.
2
Turn it until the shaft stops.
Do not apply excessive force to the shutoff valve. Doing so may
break the valve body, as the valve is not a backseat type. Always
use the special tool.
3
Make sure to tighten the cap securely.
Insulation of shutoff valve
1
Use the heat insulation material for the refrigerant piping which has
an excellent heat-resistance (over 120°C).
2
Precautions in high humidity circumstance:
This air conditioner has been tested according to the "ISO Condi-
tions with Mist" and confirmed that there is not any default. How-
ever, if it is operated for a long time in high humid atmosphere
(dew point temperature: more than 23°C), water drops are liable to
fall. In this case, add heat insulation material according to the fol-
lowing procedure:
- Heat insulation material to be prepared... EPDM (Ethylene Propy-
lene Diene Methylene)-over 120°C the heat-resistance tempera-
ture.
- Add the insulation over 10mm thickness at high humidity environ-
ment.

Closing shutoff valve
1
Remove the cap and turn the valve clockwise with the hexagon
wrench.
2
Securely tighten the valve until the shaft contacts the main body seal.
3
Make sure to tighten the cap securely.

Plumbing materials and storage methods
Pipe must be able to obtain the specified thickness and should be
used with low impurities.
Also when handling storage, pipe must be careful to prevent a frac-
ture, deformity and wound.
Should not be mixed with contaminations such as dust, moisture.
