Before brazing local refrigerant piping, nitrogen gas shall be blown through the piping to expel air from the
piping.
If your brazing is done without nitrogen gas blowing, a large amount of oxide film develops inside the piping,
and could cause system malfunction.
•
When brazing the refrigerant piping, only begin brazing after having carried out nitrogen substitution or
while inserting nitrogen into the refrigerant piping. Once this is done, connect the indoor unit with a flared
or a flanged connection.
•
Nitrogen should be set to 0.02 MPa with a pressure-reducing valve if brazing while inserting nitrogen into
the piping.
(Refer to Fig.14)
CAUTION
Be sure to insulate any field piping all the way to the piping connection inside the unit. Any exposed piping
may cause condensation or burns if touched.
•
After checking for gas leaks, be sure to insulate the pipe connections using the supplementary piping
insulation tubing and insulating tape (4). The insulating tape (4) should be wrapped from the L-shaped bend
all the way to the end inside the unit.
(Refer to Fig. 15)

Be sure to insulate any field piping all the way to the piping connection inside the unit. Any exposed piping
