7-2. Embedding the Tubing and Wiring
●
Before beginning embedding installation work, consult
fully with agencies or offices related to the building’s
foundation, construction, electricity, and water.
●
Wait to make connections to the embedded portion.
Each connection step is described later in this
manual.
●
Securely cover the end of the embedded tubing to
prevent intrusion of dirt or moisture.
●
If an embedded tube is to be left for a long time, fill the
tube with nitrogen and seal both ends securely.
If a tube is left open for an extended time, moisture in the
air inside the tubing may condense into water droplets,
and lead to water contamination of the refrigerant circuit.
●
In order to prevent insulation breakdown and ground
faults, do not allow wiring ends to come in contact with
rainwater, or be subjected to condensation or dew.
●
Apply sufficient thermal insulation to the refrigerant
tubing and drain pipes.
