Refrigerant Piping Connection
Safety Precautions
WARNING
• All eld piping must be completed by a
licensed technician and must comply with the
local and national regulations.
• When the air conditioner is installed in a small
room, measures must be taken to prevent the
refrigerant concentration in the room from
exceeding the safety limit in the event of
refrigerant leakage. If the refrigerant leaks
and its concentration exceeds its proper limit,
hazards due to lack of oxygen may result.
• When installing the refrigeration system,
ensure that air, dust, moisture or foreign
substances do not enter the refrigerant circuit.
Contamination in the system may cause poor
operating capacity, high pressure in the
refrigeration cycle, explosion or injury.
• Ventilate the area immediately if there is
refrigerant leakage during the installation.
Leaked refrigerant gas is both toxic and
flammable. Ensure there is no refrigerant
leakage after completing the installation work.
Refrigerant Piping Connection Instructions
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.
Step1: 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.
refrigerantmodels, the pipe connection
points must be placed outside of room.
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.
CAUTION
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.
1. Make sure that the pipe is cut at a perfect
90° angle. Refer to Fig. 7.1 for examples of
bad cuts

Step 2: Remove burrs.
Burrs can a ect 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.
