▪ Flare connections: Only use annealed material.
▪ Piping diameter:
Liquid piping Ø9.5mm (3/8")
Gas piping Ø15.9mm (5/8")
▪ Piping temper grade and thickness:

Depending on the applicable legislation and the maximum working pressure of the unit
(see "PS High" on the unit name plate), larger piping thickness might be required.
8.1.2 Refrigerant piping insulation
▪ Use polyethylene foam as insulation material:
- with a heat transfer rate between 0.041 and 0.052 W/mK (0.035 and
0.045kcal/mh°C)
- with a heat resistance of at least 120°C

If the temperature is higher than 30°C and the humidity is higher than RH80%, the
thickness of the insulation materials should be at least 20 mm to prevent
condensation on the surface of the insulation.
8.2 Connecting the refrigerant piping
NOTICE
Vibration. To prevent vibration of the refrigerant piping during operation, fixate the
piping between the outdoor and indoor unit.
8.2.1 About connecting the refrigerant piping
Before connecting the refrigerant piping
Make sure the outdoor and indoor unit are mounted.
Typical workflow
Connecting the refrigerant piping involves:
▪ Connecting the refrigerant piping to the outdoor unit
▪ Connecting the refrigerant piping to the indoor unit
