8.5 Piping installation
Important
■
Please don't let the pipe and the parts in the unit collide each other. When connecting the pipes, close the valves
fully.
■
Protect the pipe end against the water, impurity into the pipes (welding after being flat, or being sealed with
adhesive tape).
■
Bend the pipe as large semi-diameter as possible (over 4 times of the pipe diameter).
■
The connection between outdoor liquid pipe and the distributing pipe is flared type. Please expand the pipe with
the special tool for R410A after installing the expanding nut. But if the projecting pipe length has been adjusted
with the copper pipe gauge, you can use the original tool to expand the pipe.
■
Since the unit is with R410A, the expanding oil is ester oil, not the mineral oil.
■
When connecting the expanding pipe, fasten the pipes with double-spanner. The torque refers to the former info.

■
The outdoor gas pipe and the refrigerant distributing pipe, as well the refrigerant distributing pipe and the branch
pipe should be welded with hard solder.
■
Weld the pipe at the same time charge the nitrogen. Or it will cause a number of impurity (a film of oxidation) to
clog the capillary and the expansion valve, further cause the deadly failure.
