4. Installing the refrigerant piping
4.1. Precautions for devices that use R410A refrigerant
•
Refer to page 3 for precautions not included below on using air condition-
ers with R410A refrigerant.
•
Use ester oil, ether oil, alkylbenzene oil (small amount) as the refrigeration
oil applied to the fl ared sections.
•
Use C1220 copper phosphorus, for copper and copper alloy seamless
pipes, to connect the refrigerant pipes. Use refrigerant pipes with the
thicknesses specifi ed in the table to the below. Make sure the insides of
the pipes are clean and do not contain any harmful contaminants such as
sulfuric compounds, oxidants, debris, or dust.
Always apply no-oxidation brazing when brazing the pipes,otherwise,the
compressor will be damaged.
Warning:
When installing or moving the air conditioner, use only the specifi ed refriger-
ant (R410A) to charge the refrigerant lines. Do not mix it with any other refrig-
erant and do not allow air to remain in the lines. Air enclosed in the lines can
cause pressure peaks resulting in a rupture and other hazards.

Do not use pipes thinner than those specifi ed above.
4.2. Connecting pipes
•
When commercially available copper pipes are used, wrap liquid and gas pipes
with commercially available insulation materials (heat-resistant to 100 °C or
more, thickness of 12 mm or more).
•
The indoor parts of the drain pipe should be wrapped with polyethylene foam
insulation materials (specifi c gravity of 0.03, thickness of 9 mm or more).
•
Apply thin layer of refrigerant oil to pipe and joint seating surface before tighten-
ing fl are nut.

(Fig.4-1)
•
Use 2 wrenches to tighten piping connections.
B
(Fig.4-1)
•
Use leak detector or soapy water to check for gas leaks after connections are
completed.
•
Apply refrigerating machine oil over the entire fl are seat surface.
C
(Fig.4-1)
•
Use the fl are nuts for the following pipe size.
D
(Fig.4-1)
•
When bending the pipes, be careful not to break them. Bend radii of 100 mm to
150 mm are suffi cient.
•
Make sure the pipes do not contact the compressor. Abnormal noise or vibration
may result.
1
Pipes must be connected starting from the indoor unit.
Flare nuts must be tightened with a torque wrench.
2
Flare the liquid pipes and gas pipes and apply a thin layer of refrigeration oil
(Applied on site).
•
When usual pipe sealing is used, refer to Table 1 for fl aring of R410A refrigerant
pipes.
The size adjustment gauge can be used to confi rm B measurements.

Use the following procedure for connecting the gas-side piping. (Fig. 4-3)
[For BP170-BP250]
1 Braze the
E
Joint pipe provided to the outdoor unit using locally procured braz-
ing materials and
C
Local piping without oxygen.
2 Connect the
E
Joint pipe to the gas-side Stop valve.
Use two wrenches to tighten the fl are nut.
* If order is reversed, refrigerant leak occures because of the part damaging by brazing fi re.
• For PEA-RP170-250WGA
The method of pipe connection is brazing connection.
