Tightening of Connecting Part
1. Align the centers of the connecting pipes and fully tighten
the flare nut with your fingers. Then fix the nut with a
wrench as shown in the figure and tighten it with a torque
wrench.
2. As shown in the figure, be sure to use two wrenches to
loosen or tighten the flare nut of the valve on the gas
side. If you use a single crescent, the flare nut cannot be
tightened to the required tightening torque.
On the other hand, use a single crescent to loosen or
tighten the flare nut of the valve on the liquid side.
(Unit: N•m)
CAUTION
1. Do not put the crescent wrench on the cap or cover.
The valve may break.
2. If applying excessive torque, the nut may break
according to some installation conditions.
•
After the installation work, be sure to check for gas leaks
of the pipe connections with nitrogen.
•
Pressure of R410A is higher than that of R22 (Approx.
1.6 times).
Therefore, using a torque wrench, tighten the flare pipe
connecting sections that connect the indoor/outdoor units
at the specified tightening torque.
Incomplete connections may cause not only a gas leak,
but also trouble with the refrigeration cycle.
