CAUTION
* Be sure to wrap the pipe with wet cloth when applying brazing.
Wet cloth
Remove the cap.
Insert the connecting pipe.
Apply brazing to full circumference.
• For a brazing work of the refrigerant pipes, be sure to use nitrogen gas in order to prevent oxidation of the
inside of the pipes; otherwise clogging of the refrigerating cycle due to oxidized scale may occur.
* Remove all fl ux after brazing.
Piping dimensions
They vary depending on the outdoor unit. For details, refer to the Installation Manual attached to the outdoor unit.
