6. Refrigerant pipe and drain pipe specifications

To avoid dew drops, provide sufficient antisweating and insulating work to the re-
frigerant and drain pipes.
When using commercially available refrigerant pipes, be sure to wind commer-
cially available insulating material (with a heat-resisting temperature of more than
100 °C and thickness given below) onto both liquid and gas pipes.
Be also sure to wind commercially available insulating material (with a form
polyethylene's specific gravity of 0.03 and thickness given below) onto all pipes
which pass through rooms.

Connecting refrigerant piping
• After connecting refrigerant piping, insulate the joints (flared joints) with ther-
mal insulation tubing as shown below.

Pull out the thermal insulation on the refrigerant piping at the site, insert the flare
nut to flare the end, and replace the insulation in its original position.
Take care to ensure that condensation does not form on exposed copper piping.

2 If the unit is used on the highest story of a building and under conditions of
high temperature and humidity, it is necessary to use pipe size and insulating
material's thickness more than those given in the table above.

Caution:
Before removing the brazing, cut off the end of the pipe to release any gas. If
the gas is not released, the pipe may fly off.
1. Remove and discard the rubber bung which is inserted in the end of the unit
piping.
2. Flare the end of the site refrigerant piping.
3. Pull out the thermal insulation on the site refrigerant piping, braze the unit
piping, and replace the insulation in its original position.
* Before brazing the refrigerant piping, always wrap the piping on the main
body, and the thermal insulation piping, with damp cloths to prevent heat
shrinkage and burning the thermal insulation tubing. Take care to ensure
that the flame does not come into contact with the main body itself.
