Diagram 4.1: Typical Water Piping Installation

Be sure to use two spanners to tighten the
connection. Tighten the nuts with torque wrench:
117.6 N•m.

If non-brass metallic piping is used for installation,
make sure to insulate the pipes to prevent galvanic
corrosion.

Make sure to insulate the water circuit pipes to
prevent reduction of heating capacity.

After installation, check the water leakage condition
in connection area during test run.

Installation
1 Please make flare after inserting flare nut
(located at joint portion of tube assembly) onto
the copper pipe. (In case of using long piping)
2 Do not use pipe wrench to open refrigerant
piping. Flare nut may be broken and cause
leakage. Use proper spanner or ring wrench.
3 Connect the piping:
o
Align the center of piping and sufficiently
tighten the flare nut with fingers.
o
Further tighten the flare nut with torque
wrench in specified torque as stated in the
table.

12.3.3.5 Drain Hose Installation

Use inner diameter 15 mm drain hose in the market.

This hose must to be installed in a continuously
downward direction and in a frost-free environment.

Guides this hose’s outlet to outdoor only.

Do not insert this hose into sewage or drain pipe
that may generate ammonia gas, sulfuric gas, etc.

If necessary, use hose clamp to further tighten the
hose at drain hose connector to prevent leakage.

Water will drip from this hose, therefore the outlet of
this hose must be installed in an area where the
outlet cannot become blocked.
