12. REFRIGERANT PIPE CONNECTION
12.1 Expel The Air
Bend the pipe with thumb
Make the ends
straight
Fig.11-3
Fig.11-2
Then, open the stem of stop valves of the outdoor unit to make
the refrigerant pipe connecting the indoor unit with the outdoor
unit fluently flow.
Be sure of no leakage by checking it with leak detector or soap
water.
Cover the joint of the connecting pipe to the indoor unit with the
sound proof/insulating sheath (fittings), and bind it well with the
tapes to prevent leakage.
Locate The Pipe
Drill a hole in the wall (suitable just for the size of the wall conduit,
90mm in general), then set on the fittings such as the wall conduit
and its cover.
Bind the connecting pipe and the cables together tightly with
binding tapes. Do not let air in, which will cause water leakage
by condensation.
Pass the bound connecting pipe through the wall conduit from
outside. Be careful of the pipe all ocation to do no damage to the
tubing.
Connect the pipes.

Flaring
Cut a pipe with a pipe cutter.
Insert a flare nut into a pipe and flare the pipe.
Use frozen oil
Fig.11-1
Check all the joints with the leak detector or soap water. (See
Fig.10-6
as a reference illustration)
Be sure to with insulating materials cover all the exposed parts
of the flare pipe joints and refrigerant pipe on the liquid-side and
the gas-side. Ensure that there is no gap between them.
Incomplete insulation may cause water condensation.
