3.2.3 Outdoor unit stop valve
1 Remove the stop valve cap before performing the air tight test after connecting the are nut. Tighten the spindle valve
in clockwise according to the following table “Tightening Torque of Stop Valves.”
2 Tighten the are nut according the specied torque. If the tightening torque is excessive, it may cause refrigerant
leakage from the spindle part.
3 Perform the air tight test after the tightening work. It is more effective to perform this work after x the are nuts for
the piping connection to the stop valves.
4 Use the charging hose for the check joint connection. When removing the charging hose from the check joint, a
sound may be heard by a small quantity of refrigerant leak. However it is not abnormality. Do not apply excessive
force to the end of opening the spindle. (Tightening Torque: < 5.0N-m)
