NOTE:
• The standard pipe length is 5m. If the pipe length exceed 5m, add refrigerant. (As shown in
above table)
• Use pipes with thickness 0.8mm(1/4˝, 3/8˝, 1/2˝), 1.0mm(5/8˝), 1.2mm(3/4˝). The pipe wall shall
be able to withstand the pressure of 6.0 MPa.
• The longer the refrigerant pipe, the lower the cooling effect and the heating effect.
• When connect the pipe to the unit, use both wrench and torque wrench.
• When connect, smear both inside and outside of the flare nut with freeze motor oil, screw it by
hand and then tighten it with spanner.
• See the table below for the flare nut tightening torque. (too tight would damage the flare nut
and gas leakage).

• Check the refrigerant pipe for gas leakage, then insulate the pipes with heat insulation.
• Wrap median sponge around the gas pipe and heat insulation.(Gas side only)
