3.2 Piping work connection considerations
3.2.1 Piping Materials
1 In order to avoid supply problems in terms of local regulations and quality, prepare locally-supplied copper pipes.
N O T E
In case of using copper pipes for piping sections bigger than Ø19.05 mm (3/4 inches), aring work cannot be per-
formed. If necessary, use a joint adapter.
2 Select clean copper pipes. Make sure there is no dust and moisture inside. Blow the inside of the pipes through with
oxygen-free nitrogen to remove any dust and foreign materials before connecting pipes.
3 After connecting the refrigerant piping, seal the open space between the knockout hole and refrigerant pipes by using
insulation material as shown below:
A. Insulator material.
B. Field-supplied refrigeration pipe.
C A U T I O N
• Do not use saws, grindstones or other tools which cause
copper powder.
• When cutting pipes, secure the part for brazing in accord-
ance with both national and local regulations.
• Use security glasses and gloves for cutting or welding
works.
Piping Connection
When connecting liquid piping for units with piping longer than 15 meters, apply a piping size of Ø9.53 mm (3/8 inches). Fix
the connecting pipe as shown in the following gure using the insulation attached to the Indoor Unit.
A. Use the are nut of the indoor unit.
B. Insulate this part with the attached insulation.
C. Fix this part with the attached cord band or with tape.
D. Field-supplied refrigerant piping.
E. Field-supplied insulation.
F. Brazing.
G. Make ares after attaching are nut to the connecting pipe in
the Multi-kit package.
H. Insulation attached to indoor unit.
I. Indoor unit.
N O T E
• A system with no moisture or oil contamination will give maximum performance and lifecycle compared to a
poorly prepared system. Take particular care to ensure that all copper piping is clean and dry internally.
• To ensure this, blow oxygen-free nitrogen through the pipes.
