, install as described in the installation manual supplied with the multi outdoor unit.
1. Flaring the pipe end
1) Cut the pipe end with a pipe cutter.
2) Remove burrs with the cut surface facing downward,
so that the filings do not enter the pipe.
3) Put the flare nut on the pipe.
4) Flare the pipe.
5) Check that the flaring has been done correctly.
2. Refrigerant piping
• Use the flare nut fixed to the main unit. (This is to prevent the flare nut from cracking as a result of deterioration over time.)
• To prevent gas leakage, apply refrigeration oil only to the inner surface of the flare. (Use refrigeration oil for R410A.)
• Use a torque wrench when tightening the flare nuts to prevent damage to the flare nuts and gas leakage.
• Align the centers of both flares and tighten the flare nuts 3 or 4 turns by hand, then tighten them fully with a spanner and a
torque wrench.
2-1. Caution on piping handling
• Protect the open end of the pipe against dust and moisture.
• All pipe bends should be as gentle as possible. Use a pipe bender for
bending.
2-2. Selection of copper and heat insulation materials
When using commercial copper pipes and fittings, observe the following:
• Insulation material: Polyethylene foam
Heat transfer rate: 0.041 to 0.052W/mK (0.024 to 0.030Btu/fth°F (0.035 to
0.045kcal/mh°C))
Be sure to use insulation that is designed for use with HVAC Systems.
• ACR Copper only.
• Be sure to insulate both the gas and liquid piping and observe the insulation dimensions as below.
• Use separate thermal insulation pipes for gas and liquid refrigerant pipes.
• Using finishing tape, bundle and wrap the indoor unit piping and drain hose together so that the drain hose is below
the other piping.

Conventional flare tool
The flare’s inner surface must be
flaw-free.
When flaring, do not over-tighten
and crack.
The pipe end must be evenly flared
in a perfect circle.
Make sure that the flare nut is fitted.
Check
Cut exactly at
right angles.
Remove burrs.
Do not apply refrigeration
oil to the outer surface.
Flare nut
Apply refrigeration
oil only to the inner
surface of the flare.
Do not apply refrigeration oil to
the flare nut to avoid tightening
with excessive torque.
