Refrigerant Piping
Step 1: Cut pipes
When preparing refrigerant pipes, take extra
care to cut and flare them properly. This will
ensure efficient operation and minimize the
need for future maintenance.
1. Measure the distance between the indoor
and outdoor units.
2. Using a pipe cutter, cut the pipe a little longer
than the measured distance.
3. Make sure that the pipe is cut at a perfect 90°
angle.

90°
DO NOT DEFORM PIPE
WHILE CUTTING
Be extra careful not to damage, dent, or
deform the pipe while cutting. This will
drastically reduce the heating efficiency
of the unit.
CAUTION
If the outdoor unit is installed higher than the
indoor unit:
-It is recommended that vertical suction risers
not be upsized. Proper oil return to the
compressor should be maintained with suction
gas velocity. If velocities drop below7.62m/s
(1500fpm (feet per minute)), oil return will be
decreased. An oil trap should be installed every
6m(20ft) of vertical suction line riser.
The outdoor unit is installed higher than the
indoor unit
CAUTION
•
The branching pipe must be installed
horizontally. An angle of more than 10° may
cause malfunction.
•
DO NOT
install the connecting pipe until
both indoor and outdoor units have been
installed.
•
Insulate both the gas and liquid piping to
prevent water leakage.
Step 2: Remove burrs
Burrs can affect the air-tight seal of refrigerant
piping connection. They must be completely
removed.
1. Hold the pipe at a downward angle to
prevent burrs from falling into the pipe.
2. Using a reamer or deburring tool, remove
all burrs from the cut section of the pipe.
