REFRIGERATION PIPING
General
The OSA 175 is shipped with a refrigerant 
charge sufficient for a 10 m line length. 
The matched indoor unit is shipped with 
a holding charge of nitrogen. OSA 175 
units have one flare nut and one rotolock 
assembly. Two loose pipe extensions are 
supplied to enable a choice of exit – side or 
rear; both require brazing.

Recommended Pipe Sizes
Suction pipe : 

22 mm OD

Liquid pipe : 

13 mm OD

Line Lengths
The standard unit allows for a line length  
up to 30 m. For line lengths between 30 m 
and 60 m, refer to 

temperzone's 

Split Systems Installation Guide (refer  
www.temperzone.biz/Technical Support)

.

 overleaf. 

Maximum line length when extended is 60m.

Height Separation Limits
Outdoor Unit above Indoor Unit :  20 m
Outdoor Unit below Indoor Unit :  20 m

Vertical Risers
If the outdoor unit is to be installed above 
the indoor unit, then the suction riser should 
be trapped at the bottom of the vertical 
rise and then again at 5 m (maximum) 
intervals. This is to ensure oil return to the 
compressor. The trap to be a 'swan neck' 
curve in the pipe, with no change in the pipe 
size.

Piping
1.  Use clean sealed refrigeration grade 

piping and accessories designed 
specifically for R410A.

2.   Cut pipe with a pipe cutter ONLY.
3.   Use long radius bends (2x pipe dia.).
4.   Insulate the suction (gas) line and seal 

all insulation joints.

5.  Bi-flow type filter dryer may be fitted in 

the liquid line.

6.  Include a process point in the 

interconnecting pipework.

7.  Ensure open pipe ends are sealed until 

the final connection is made.

8. 

Caution:  To avoid damage to teflon 
seals, braze suction pipework to stub 
connection (supplied loose) 

before 

connecting to unit's valve.

9.  Remove valve's dust cap and lubricate 

teflon seal with refrigeration oil prior to 
final assembly and connection.

Free Standing :  

Fasten the unit down to a firm flat horizontal 
base using the four holes provided in the 
mounting rails. To avoid transfer of vibration, 
mount the unit on the optional rubber 
mounts available from 

temperzone.

When the unit is being installed on a roof 
it is recommended that the unit is installed 
on a substantial structure with vibration 
isolating springs or rubber mounts (optional 
extra) beneath the unit. These items are not 
supplied with the unit.

Wall Mounting Option:

Complete wall mounting instructions are 
supplied with the optional wall mounting kit.

Drain
Four drain holes are provided in the base.  
Three plastic bungs are supplied (loose) 
should you want to direct the condensate 
and/or rain water to one of the holes 
provided. Drain connection adaptors (25/13) 
are available as an optional extra.

GENERAL
This OSA 175RKTHG Outdoor Unit must be 
installed in accordance with all national and 
local safety codes.

Options
1. Vertical discharge grille (2 required).
2. Wall mounting brackets.
3. Anti-vibration mounts (rubber).
4. Drain connection adaptors - right angle.

INSTALLATION
Positioning
Refer to dimension diagram below for 
minimum clearances. Position the unit so 
that prevailing winds do not blow onto the 
exhaust to slow the fan, and one unit does 
not exhaust toward the inlet of another unit.
The optional vertical discharge grilles can be 
used to deflect prevailing winds and reduce 
clearances.
Mount either free standing or on a wall using 
the optional mounting brackets available.
