1. Use the following materials for refrigeration piping.
• Material: Seamless phosphorous deoxidized copper pipe
2. Commercially available piping often contains dust and other materials. Always blow it clean with a
dry inert gas.
3. Use care to prevent dust, water or other contaminants from entering the piping during installation.
4. Reduce the number of bending portions as much as possible, and make bending radius as big as
possible.
5. Always use the branch piping set shown below, which are sold separately.
6. If the diameters of the branch piping of the designated refrigerant piping differs, use a pipe cutter to cut
the connecting section and then use an adapter for connecting different diameters to connect the piping.
7. Always observe the restrictions on the refrigerant piping (such as rated length, the difference between
high/low pressures and piping diameter).
Failure to do so can result in equipment failure or a decline in heating/cooling performance.
8. A second branch cannot be made after a header. (These are shown by
.)
9. The Multi V will stop due to an abnormality like excessive or insufficient refrigerant. At such a time, always
properly charge the unit. When servicing, always check the notes concerning pipe length and amount of addi-
tional refrigerant at both locations.

. Never perform a pump down. This will not only damage the compressor but also deteriorate the per-
formance.
11
. Never use refrigerant to perform an air purge. Always evacuate using a vacuum pump.
12. Always insulate the piping properly. Insufficient insulation will result in a decline in heating/cooling perfor-
mance, water drops from condensation and other such problems.
13. When connecting the refrigerant piping, make sure the service valves of the Outdoor Unit is completely
closed (the factory setting) and do not operate it until the refrigerant piping for the Outdoor and Indoor Units
has been connected, a refrigerant leakage test has been performed and the evacuation process has been
completed.
14. Always use a non-oxidizing brazing material for brazing the parts. If a non-oxidizing brazing material is
used, it could cause clogging or damage to the compressor unit.
