8. INSTALLATION
Refrigerant piping connection
1. Flaring work
Main cause for refrigerant leakage is due to defect in the flaring work. Carry out cor-
rect flaring work using the following procedure:
A: Cut the pipes and the cable.
1. Use the piping kit accessory or pipes purchased locally.
2. Measure the distance between the indoor and the outdoor unit.
3. Cut the pipes a little longer than the measured distance.
4. Cut the cable 1.5m longer than the pipe length.
B: Burr removal
1. Completely remove all burrs from the cut cross section of pipe/tube
2. Put the end of the copper tube/pipe in a downward direction as you remove
burrs in order to avoid dropping burrs into the tubing.
C: Putting nut on
Remove flare nuts attached to indoor and outdoor unit, then put them on pipe/tube
having completed burr removal. (Not possible to put them on after flaring work).
D: Flaring work
Firmly hold copper pipe in a die in the dimension shown in the table below.
