INFORMATION
Also read the precautions and requirements in the "General safety precautions"
chapter.
CAUTION
Piping MUST be installed according to instructions given in "17 Piping
installation" [4 61]. 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:
Class Pipe outer diameter (mm)
Liquid piping Gas piping
15~32 Ø6.4mm Ø9.5mm
40~80 Ø6.4mm Ø12.7mm
100~140 Ø9.5mm Ø15.9mm
Refrigerant piping material
▪ Piping material: Phosphoric acid deoxidised seamless copper.
▪ Flare connections: Only use annealed material.
▪ Piping temper grade and thickness:
