Refrigerant piping & refrigerant charge
PMML0317A rev.1 - 11/2013
2 Mount the piping cover in order to avoid water entering into
the unit. Seal the holes where pipes and wires are inserted, by
using a insulation (eld-supplied).
3 If the eld-supplied piping is connected with stop valves di-
rectly, it is recommended use a tube bender.
4 Check to ensure that the stop valves are closed completely
before connecting pipes.
5 Connect the eld supplied refrigerant pipes to the indoor unit
and outdoor unit. Apply the oil thinly at the seat are nut and
pipe before tightening.
The required tightening torque is as follows:
Pipe Size Tightening Torque (Nm)
Ø 6.35 mm (1/4) 20
Ø 9.52 mm (3/8) 40
Ø 12.70 mm (1/2) 60
Ø 15.88 mm (5/8) 80
Ø 19.05 mm (3/4) 100
6 After connecting the refrigerant piping, seal the open space
between knockout hole and refrigerant pipes by using insula-
tion material.

(a)
Closed
This valve is opened or closed with rotating 90
degrees at the ball valve part. Rotate the shaft
until the pin touches the stopper. Do not apply the
extra force. Use a slotted screwdriver to control
the shaft. Do not leave the ball valve partly open
(b)
Opened
Do not apply two spanners
at this position. If applied,
leakage will occur.

• At the test run, fully open the spindle and ball stop valve.
• If not fully opened, the devices will be damaged.
• Do not attempt to turn service valve rod beyond its stop.
• Do not loosen the stop ring. If the stop ring is loosened, it is
dangerous since the spindle will hop out.
• An excess or a shortage of refrigerant is the main cause of
trouble to the units. Charge the correct refrigerant quantity
according to the description of label at the inside of service
cover.
• Check for refrigerant leakage in detail. If a large refrigerant
leakage occurs, it will cause difculty with breathing or harmful
gases would occur if a re was being used in the room.
