7.1 Preparing refrigerant piping
7.1.1 Refrigerant piping requirements
CAUTION
Piping and joints of a split system shall be made with permanent joints when inside
an occupied space except joints directly connecting the piping to the indoor units.
NOTICE
The piping and other pressure-containing parts shall be suitable for refrigerant. Use
phosphoric acid deoxidised seamless copper for refrigerant piping.
INFORMATION
Also read the precautions and requirements in the "2 General safety
precautions"[47].
▪ Foreign materials inside pipes (including oils for fabrication) must be
≤30mg/10m.
Refrigerant piping diameter
Use the same diameters as the connections on the outdoor units:
Class Pipe outer diameter (mm)
Liquid pipe Gas pipe
15~42 Ø6.4 Ø9.5
50 Ø6.4 Ø12.7
Refrigerant piping material
▪ Piping material: phosphoric acid deoxidised seamless copper
▪ Flare connections: Only use annealed material.
▪ Piping temper grade and thickness:
