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.
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. 7.4 for examples
of bad cuts

Step2: Remove burrs.
Burrs can affect 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.

Step 3: Flare pipe ends
Proper flaring is essential to achieve an airtight seal.
1.
After removing burrs from cut pipe, seal
the ends with PVC tape to prevent foreign
materials from entering the pipe.
2.
Sheath the pipe with insulating material.
3.
Place flare nuts on both ends of pipe. Make
sure they are facing in the right direction,
because you can’t put them on or change
their direction after flaring. See Fig. 7.6

4.
Remove PVC tape from ends of pipe when
ready to perform flaring work.

5. Clamp flare form on the end of the pipe.
The end of the pipe must extend beyond
the flare form.

6. Place flaring tool onto the form.
7. Turn the handle of the flaring tool clockwise
until the pipe is fully flared. Flare the pipe in
accordance with the dimensions shown in
table 7.5.

8. Remove the flaring tool and flare form,
then inspect the end of the pipe for cracks
and even flaring.
Step 4: Connect pipes
Connect the copper pipes to the indoor unit first,
then connect it to the outdoor unit. You should
first connect the low-pressure pipe, then the
high-pressure pipe.
1.
When connecting the flare nuts, apply a thin coat
of refrigeration oil to the flared ends of the pipes.
2. Align the center of the two pipes that you
will connect.

Fig. 7.9
3.
Tighten the flare nut as tightly as possible by hand.
4.
Using a spanner, grip the nut on the unit tubing.
5. While firmly gripping the nut, use a torque
wrench to tighten the flare nut according to
the torque values in table 7.5.
NOTE: Use both a spanner and a torque wrench
when connecting or disconnecting pipes to/from
the unit.
Fig. 7.10
CAUTION
•
Ensure to wrap insulation around the piping.
Direct contact with the bare piping may result
in burns or frostbite.
•
Make sure the pipe is properly connected.
Over tightening may damage the bell mouth
and under tightening may lead to leakage.
NOTE ON MINIMUM BEND RADIUS
Carefully bend the tubing in the middle according
to the diagram below. DO NOT bend the tubing
more than 90° or more than 3 times.

6.
After connecting the copper pipes to the
indoor unit, wrap the power cable, signal
cable and the piping together with binding
tape.
NOTE: DO NOT intertwine signal cable with
other wires. While bundling these items
together, do not intertwine or cross the signal
cable with any other wiring.
7. Thread this pipeline through the wall and
connect it to the outdoor unit.
8. Insulate all the piping, including the valves
of the outdoor unit.
9. Open the stop valves of the outdoor unit
to start the flow of the refrigerant
between the indoor and outdoor unit.
CAUTION
Check to make sure there is no refrigerant leak
after completing the installation work. If there is
a refrigerant leak, ventilate the area immediately
and evacuate the system (refer to the Air
Evacuation section of this manual).
