2. Refrigerant Piping Materials
(1) Thickness of Refrigerant Piping
Although the thickness is same as
that for HCFC-22 model, as R410A
model features higher pressure, be
sure to confirm the thickness prior to
use.
Do not use thin pipes (thinner than
※
0.7 mm).
(2) Flare's Expansion Pipe
The projection when the new flare
tool is used, is as follows. When
using the conventional flare tool, be
sure to secure the following projection
by using a gauge for projection
adjustment.
When using the conventional flare
※
tool, use a gauge for projection
adjustment.
(3) Flare Nut Dimensions
Along with changes in the expansion
pipe dimensions, the opposite side
dimensions of flare nuts whose
nominal diameter is 1/2 change so
that different torque wrenches must
be used.
Figures in ( ) denote those for
※
HCFC-22.
