4.5.1.Removingpinchconnectionpipes
• Perform piping connection and valve operation according to the procedure.
• Pinch connection pipes are attached to the on-site piping end of the liquid side and gas side operation valves when shipped
from the factory in order to prevent gas leakage. When connecting the refrigerant piping to the outdoor unit, remove the pinch
connection pipe of the operation valve according to the following procedure.
Procedure
1. Check that the operation valves are completely closed (turned clockwise).
2. Attach a charging hose to the service port of the liquid side and gas side operation valves, and remove the gas inside the
pinch connection pipes.
3. After removing the gas from inside the pinch connection pipes, cut the pinch connection pipes at the position shown in the
gure,andremovetherefrigerantoilinside.
4. After the work is completed, heat the brazing section and remove the pinch connection pipes.

(10 to 14 N·m tightening torque) Cap
Remove the cap, and operate the operating
valve. After the work is completed, re-
attach the cap and sheet packing. (20 to
24.5 N·m tightening torque)
On-sitepiping
Perform non-oxidizing brazing.
Follow the procedure below to open or close the valve
(after refrigerant leak test, purging work, and refrigerant charge).
