4.2. Connecting pipes (Fig. 4-1)
• When commercially available copper pipes are used, wrap liquid and gas pipes
with commercially available insulation materials (heat-resistant to 100°C or more,
thickness of 12 mm or more).
• The indoor parts of the drain pipe should be wrapped with polyethylene foam
insulation materials (specific gravity of 0.03, thickness of 9 mm or more).
• Apply thin layer of refrigerant oil to pipe and joint seating surface before tightening
flare nut. A
• Use two wrenches to tighten piping connections. B
• Use leak detector or soapy water to check for gas leaks after connections are
completed.
• Apply refrigerating machine oil over the entire flare seat surface. C
• Use the flare nuts for the following pipe size. D
Gas side Pipe size (mm)
Liquid side Pipe size (mm)
• When bending the pipes, be careful not to break them. Bend radii of 100 mm to
150 mm are sufficient.
• Make sure the pipes do not contact the compressor. Abnormal noise or vibration
may result.
1 Pipes must be connected starting from the indoor unit.
Flare nuts must be tightened with a torque wrench.
2 Flare the liquid pipes and gas pipes and apply a thin layer of refrigeration oil (Ap-
plied on site).
• When usual pipe sealing is used, refer to Table 1 for flaring of R32 refrigerant
pipes.
The size adjustment gauge can be used to confirm A measurements.

3 Use the following procedure for connecting the gas-side piping. (Fig. 4-3)
1 Braze the E Joint pipe provided to the outdoor unit using locally procured brazing
materials and C Local piping without oxygen.
2 Connect the E Joint pipe to the gas-side Stop valve.
Use 2 wrenches to tighten the flare nut.
* If order is reversed, refrigerant leak occurs because of the part damaging by
brazing fire.
