5. REFRIGERANT PIPING WORK
• For the outdoor unit refrigerant piping, refer to the installa-
tion manual attached to the outdoor unit.
• Carry out insulation of both gas and liquid refrigerant piping
securely. If not insulated, it may cause water leakage. For
gas piping, use insulation material of which heat resistant
temperature is not less than 250°F (120 °C).
For use under high humidity, strengthen the insulation ma-
terial for refrigerant piping. If not strengthened, the surface
of insulation material may sweat.
• Before installation work, make sure that the refrigerant is
R410A or operation will malfunction.
CAUTION
This air conditioner is a dedicated model for new re-
frigerantR410A.Makesuretomeettherequirements
shown below and carry out installation work.
• Usededicatedpipingcuttersandaringtoolsfor
R410A.
• Whenmakingaareconnection,coatthearedin-
ner surface only with ether oil or ester oil.
• Useonlythearenutsattachedtotheaircondition-
er.Ifotherarenutsareused,itmaycauserefriger-
ant leakage.
• To prevent contamination or moisture from getting
into the piping, take measures such as pinch ing or
taping the pipings.
Donotmixsubstanceotherthanthespeciedrefrig-
erant such as air into the refrigeration circuit.
If the refrigerant leaks during the work, ventilate the
room.
• The refrigerant is pre-charged in the outdoor unit.
• When connecting the pipings to the air conditioner,
make sure to use a spanner and a torque wrench as
shown in Fig.10.
• For the dimension of ared part and the tightening
torque, refer to the Table 2.
• When making a are connection, coat the ared inner
surface only with ether oil or ester oil.
(RefertoFig.11)
Then, turn the are nut 3 to 4 times with your hand and
screw in the nut.

CAUTION
Donotletoiladheretothescrewxingpartofresin
parts.
If oil adheres, it may weaken the strength of screwed part.
Donottightenarenutstoomuch.
If a are nut cracks, the refrigerant may leak.
• If there is no torque wrench, use Table 3 as a rule of
thumb.
When tightening a are nut with a spanner harder and
harder, there is a point where the tightening torque sud-
denly increases.
From that position, tighten the nut additionally the angle
shown in Table 3.
After the work is nished, check securely that there is no
gas leak.
If the nut is not tightened as instructed, it may cause
slow refrigerant leak and result in malfunction (such as
does not cool or heat).

CAUTION
Insulationofeldpipingmustbecarriedoutuptothe
connection inside the casing.
If the piping is exposed to the atmosphere, it may cause
sweating, burn due to touching the piping, electric shocks
or a re due to the wiring touching the piping.
• After leak test, referring to Fig.12, insulate both the
gas and liquid piping connection with the attached joint
insulating material (8) and (9) to prevent the pipings from
getting exposed.
Then, tighten the both ends of insulating material with
the clamp (4).
• Wrap the sealing material (Medium-1, 2) (11) (12) around
the joint insulating material (8) and (9) (are nut section),
both the gas and liquid piping.
• Make sure to bring the seam of joint insulating material
(8) and (9) to the top.
