Installation Procedure
CAUTION
• Be sure to use C1220T-1/2H (Semi-hard) pipe for
more than Ø19.05 mm. If you use C1220T-O (Soft)
pipe for Ø19.05 mm, the pipe may be broken, which
can result in an injury.
Make at least one round:
It will reduce noise and vibration
• The appearance of the unit may be different from the
diagram depending on the model.
CAUTION
• After connecting the pipes with knock-out treatment,
plug the space around the pipes.
• After connecting the pipes, proceed exactly as
directed in the guide to prevent interference with the
internal parts.
• Tighten the nuts to the specified torques. If
overtightened, the nuts could be broken so
refrigerant may leak.
• Protect or enclose refrigerant tubing to avoid
mechanical damage.
Step 6 Optional: Cutting and aring the
pipes
1 Make sure that you have the required tools available.
(pipe cutter, reamer, flaring tool, and pipe holder)
2 If you wish to shorten the pipes, cut it with a pipe
cutter, taking care to ensure that the cut edge remains
at a 90° angle with the side of the pipe. Refer to
the illustrations below for examples of edges cut
correctly and incorrectly.
