CONNECTING THE PIPING
WARNING
Do not use the existing piping and flare nuts.
•
If the existing materials are used, the pressure inside the
refrigerant cycle will rise and cause breakage, injury, etc.
(Use the special R410A materials.)
CAUTION
(1) Do not use mineral oil on flared part.
Prevent mineral oil from getting into the system as this
would reduce the lifetime of the units.
(2) Never use piping which has been used for previous
installations. Only use parts which are delivered with
the unit.
(3) While welding the pipes, be sure to blow dry nitrogen
gas through them.
4. HEAT INSULATION ON THE PIPE JOINTS
(INDOOR SIDE ONLY)
Put coupler heat insulator on the joints (indoor side only).

1. FLARING PROCESSING
(1) Cut the connection pipe to the necessary length with a pipe cutter.
(2) Hold the pipe downward so that cuttings will not enter the pipe and
remove the burrs.
(3) Insert the flare nut (always use the flare nut attached to the indoor
and outdoor units respectively) onto the pipe and perform the flare
processing with a flare tool.
Use the special R410A flare tool, or the conventional flare tool.
When using the conventional flare tool, always use an allowance ad-
justment gauge and secure the A dimension shown in table.
Check if [L] is flared uniformly
and is not cracked or scratched.

2. BENDING PIPES
(1) When bending the pipe, be careful not to crush it.
(2) To prevent breaking of the pipe, avoid sharp bends. Bend the pipe
with a radius of curvature of 150 mm (6") or over.
(3) If the copper pipe is bend the pipe or pulled to often, it will become
stiff. Do not bend the pipes more than three times at one place.

CAUTION
Be sure to apply the pipe against the port on the indoor
unit correctly. If the centering is improper, the flare nut
cannot be tightened smoothly. If the flare nut is forced to
turn, the threads will be damaged.
(2) Install the outdoor unit wall cap (supplied with the optional installation
set or procured at the site) to the wall hole pipe.
(3) Connect the outdoor unit and indoor unit piping.
(4) After matching the center of the flare surface and tightening the nut
hand tight, tighten the nut to the specified tightening torque with a
torque wrench.

To prevent gas leakage,
coat the flare surface with

Do not use mineral oil.
CAUTION
Be sure to connect the large pipe after connecting the small
pipe completely.
Do not remove the cap from the connection pipe before connecting
the pipe.

A. For solid core wiring
(1) Cut the wire end with a wire cutter or wire-cutting pliers, then strip
the insulation to about 25 mm (15/16") of expose the solid wire.
(2) Using a screwdriver, remove the terminal screw(s) on the terminal
board.
(3) Using pliers, bend the solid wire to form a loop suitable for the
terminal screw.
(4) Shape the loop wire properly, place it on the terminal board and
tighten securely with the terminal screw using a screwdriver.
B. For strand wiring
(1) Cut the wire end with a wire cutter or wire-cutting pliers, then strip
the insulation to about 10 mm (3/8") of expose the strand wiring.
(2) Using a screwdriver, remove the terminal screw(s) on the terminal
board.
(3) Using a round terminal fastener or pliers, securely clamp a round
terminal to each stripped wire end.
(4) Position the round terminal wire, and replace and tighten the ter-
minal screw using a screwdriver.

3. CONNECTION PIPES
(1) Centering the pipe against port on the indoor unit, turn the flare nut
with your hand.
Be sure that the small pipe is completely installed before connecting
the large the pipe.
