4.1. Precautions for devices that use R410A refrigerant
• Refer to page 3 for precautions not included below on using air condition-
ers with R410A refrigerant.
• Use ester oil, ether oil, alkylbenzene oil (small amount) as the refrigeration
oil applied to the flared sections.
• Use C1220 copper phosphorus, for copper and copper alloy seamless
pipes, to connect the refrigerant pipes. Use refrigerant pipes with the thick-
nesses specified in the table to the below. Make sure the insides of the
pipes are clean and do not contain any harmful contaminants such as sul-
furic compounds, oxidants, debris, or dust.
Always apply no-oxidation brazing when brazing the pipes, otherwise, the
compressor will the damaged.
Warning:
When installing or moving the air conditioner, use only the specified refriger-
ant (R410A) to charge the refrigerant lines. Do not mix it with any other re-
frigerant and do not allow air to remain in the lines. Air enclosed in the lines
can cause pressure peaks resulting in a rupture and other hazards.

• Do not use pipes thinner than those specified above.
4.2. Connecting pipes
• 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 tighten-
ing flare nut. A (Fig. 4-1)
• Use two wrenches to tighten piping connections. B (Fig. 4-1)
• 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 (Fig. 4-1)
• Use the flare nuts for the following pipe size. D (Fig. 4-1)
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
(Applied on site).
• When usual pipe sealing is used, refer to Table 1 for flaring of R410A refrigerant
pipes.
The size adjustment gauge can be used to confirm B 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 braz-
ing materials and C Local piping without oxygen.
2 Connect the E Joint pipe to the gas-side Stop valve.
Use two wrenches to tighten the flare nut.
* If order is reversed, refrigerant leak occurs because of the part damaging by brazing fire.
• For PEA-RP200, 250, 400, 500GA
The method of pipe connection is brazing connection.
