(2) Cautions for refrigerant piping work
New refrigerant R410A is adopted for replacement inverter series. Although the refrigerant piping work for R410A is same
as for R22, exclusive tools are necessary so as not to mix with different kind of refrigerant. Furthermore as the working
pressure of R410A is 1.6 times higher than that of R22, their sizes of flared sections and flare nuts are different.
1
Thickness of pipes
Because the working pressure of R410A is higher compared to R22, be sure to use refrigerant piping with thickness
shown below. (Never use pipes of 0.7 mm or below.)
2
Dimensions of flare cutting and flare nut
The component molecules in HFC refrigerant are smaller compared to conventional refrigerants. In addition to that,
R410A is a refrigerant, which has higher risk of leakage because of its working pressure higher than that of other refriger-
ants. Therefore, to enhance airtightness and intensity, flare cutting dimension of copper pipe for R410A has been speci-
fied separately from the dimensions for other refrigerants as shown below. The dimension B of flare nut for R410A also
has partly been changed to increase intensity as shown below. Set copper pipe correctly referring to copper pipe flaring
dimensions for R410A below. For 1/2” and 5/8”, the dimension B changes.
Use torque wrench corresponding to each dimension.
