4.1. Refrigerant pipe (Fig. 4-1, Fig. 4-2)
► Check that the difference between the heights of the indoor and outdoor
units, the length of refrigerant pipe, and the number of bends in the pipe are
within the limits shown below.

• Height difference limitation is defined regardless of which unit, indoor or outdoor,
is positioned higher.
• Refrigerant adjustment ... If pipe length exceeds 25 ft. (7.5 m), additional refriger-
ant (R410A) charge is required.
(The outdoor unit is charged with refrigerant for pipe length up to 25 ft. (7.5 m).)

• To prevent condensation, insulate the 2 refrigerant pipes.
• Refrigerant pipe bending radius must be 4 in. (100 mm) or more
Caution:
Be sure to use the insulation of specified thickness (table on the above). Excessive
insulation may cause incorrect installation of the indoor unit, and too little insulation
may cause condensate to form.
• The unit has flared connections on both indoor and outdoor sides.
• Remove the valve cover from the outdoor unit, then connect the pipe.
• Refrigerant pipes are used to connect the indoor and outdoor units.
• Be careful not to crush or over bend the pipe in pipe bending.
4.2. Flaring work (Fig. 4-3)
1) Cut the cooper pipe as straight as possible with a pipe cutter.
2) Remove all burrs from the cut section of pipe, ensuring that precautions are taken
to avoid getting metal shavings into the piping.
3) Remove flare nuts attached to indoor and outdoor units, then put them on pipe.
4) Flaring work. Firmly hold copper pipe in the dimension shown in the table. Select
A inch (mm) from the table according to the tool you use.
5) Check
• Compare the flared work.
• If flare is defective, cut off the section and repeat procedure.
