Refrigerant pipe installation
• When installing, make sure there is no leakage. When collecting the refrigerant, stop the compressor rst
before removing the connection pipe. If the refrigerant pipe is not properly connected and the compressor
works with the service valve open, the pipe inhales the air and it makes the pressure inside of the
refrigerant cycle abnormally high which may lead to explosion and injury.
WARNING
Refrigerant pipe work
The length of refrigerant pipe should be as short as possible and the height dierence between an indoor and
outdoor unit should be minimized.
Piping work must be done within allowable piping length, height dierence, and the allowable length after
branching.
The pressure of the R-410A is high. Use only certied refrigerant pipe and follow the installation method.
After installing the pipes, calculate the total length of the pipe to check if additional refrigerant is needed. When
you need to charge the additional refrigerant, make sure to use R-410A refrigerant.
Use clean refrigerant pipe and there shouldn’t be any harmful ion, oxide, dust, iron content or moisture inside pipe.
Use tools and accessories that t on R-410A only.
