Installation Manual
 How to open the valve
Open or close the valve.
Liquid side
Open the valve with a 4 mm hexagon wrench.
Gas side
• While the valve is fully opened, after the screwdriver
has reached the stopper, do not apply torque
exceeding 5 N•m. Applying excessive torque may
damage the valve.
Valve handling precautions
• Open the valve stem until it strikes the stopper.
It is unnecessary to apply further force.
• Securely tighten the cap with a torque wrench.
Cap tightening torque
The cap with the 9.5 mm outer diameter is available in
two sizes in accordance with the type of packed valve
for which the cap is used. The tightening torque
depends on the width across flats of the cap so check
it in the table below.
 Replenishing refrigerant
This model is a 30 m chargeless type that does not
need to have its refrigerant replenished for refrigerant
pipes up to 30 m.
Refrigerant replenishing procedure
1. After vacuuming the refrigerant pipe, close the
valves and then charge the refrigerant while the air
to water heat pump is not working.
2. When the refrigerant cannot be charged to the
specified amount, charge the required amount of
refrigerant from the charge port of the valve on the
gas side during cooling.
Requirement for replenishing refrigerant
Replenish liquid refrigerant.
When gaseous refrigerant is replenished, the
refrigerant composition varies, which disables normal
operation.
Adding additional refrigerant
• The refrigerant need not be reduced for a 30 meter
(or less) refrigerant pipe.
