16.1.1 Refrigerant piping requirements
INFORMATION
Also read the precautions and requirements in the "2 General safety
precautions"[47].
CAUTION
Piping MUST be installed according to instructions given in "16 Piping
installation" [4 63]. Only mechanical joints (e.g. braze+flare connections) that are
compliant with the latest version of ISO14903 can be used.
NOTICE
The piping and other pressure-containing parts shall be suitable for refrigerant. Use
phosphoric acid deoxidised seamless copper for refrigerant.
▪ Foreign materials inside pipes (including oils for fabrication) must be
≤30mg/10m.
Refrigerant piping diameter
For piping connections of the indoor unit use the following piping diameters.
Model Pipe outer diameter (mm)
R410A R32
(a)
Gas Liquid Gas Liquid
EKVDX32 Ø12.70 Ø6.35 Ø9.52 Ø6.35
EKVDX50 Ø12.70 Ø6.35 Ø12.70 Ø6.35
EKVDX80 Ø15.90 Ø9.52 Ø12.70 Ø6.35
EKVDX100 Ø15.90 Ø9.52 Ø15.90 Ø9.52
(a)
For R32 refrigerant, accessory pipes may be required for certain units. Accessory pipes are
supplied with the unit.
Refrigerant piping material
▪ Piping material: Phosphoric acid deoxidised seamless copper.
▪ Flare connections: Only use annealed material.
