10.5. Installing the water stopper
Make sure to install the supplied water stopper and sealing material when
providing insulation.
* When using PQRY-P series, install them to only the low-pressure pipe.
* When using PQHY-P series, install them to both liquid pipe and gas pipe.
Use the water stoppers and sealing material that fit each pipe.

Position the edge of the supplied paper with mark at the edge of the pipe
cover. Then, wind the sealing material to the pipe, using the mark on the
paper to properly align it.

Extend the field-supplied insulation all the way to the end of the sealing
material described in step A.

Because the refrigerant used with the unit is nonazerotropic, it must be
charged in the liquid state. Consequently, when charging the unit with
refrigerant from a cylinder, if the cylinder does not have a siphon pipe,
charge the liquid refrigerant by turning the cylinder upside-down as shown in
Fig.10.3.3. If the cylinder has a siphon pipe like that shown in the picture on
Fig.10.3.3, the liquid refrigerant can be charged with the cylinder standing
upright. Follow the cylinder specifications carefully. If the unit should
accidentally be charged with gas refrigerant, replace all the refrigerant with
new refrigerant. Do not use the refrigerant remaining in the cylinder.

10.4. Thermal insulation of refrigerant
piping
Add insulation to refrigerant piping by covering high-pressure/liquid pipe and
low-pressure/gas pipe separately with enough heat resistant polyethylene, so
that there isn’t a gap insulation in the joint between indoor unit and insulation,
and itself. When insulation is insufficient, there is a possibility of condensation,
etc. Pay special attention to insulation in the ceiling plenum.

When filling a gap with mortar, cover the access hole part with steel plate so that

and covering. (Vinyl covering should not be used.)

* If pipes are located in a high-temperature high-humidity environment, such
as the top floor of a building, insulation thicker than the ones specified in the
chart above.
* When the client presents certain specifications, ensure that those also meet
the specifications on the chart above.
