(3) Prepare eld-supplied copper pipes.
(4) Select clean copper pipes. Make sure there is no dust and moisture inside.
(5) The refrigerant oil for the refrigerant R410A is susceptible to moisture, an oxide lm, and fatty oil. Take
special care during the installation so that moisture, contaminations or old refrigerant oil will not enter
the refrigerant cycle. Otherwise, impurities may adhere to the expansion valve and it may prevent
proper operation.
(6) When cutting the pipes, use a pipe cutter to avoid grind swarf generation for the pipe cutting work. Blow
the inside of pipes with nitrogen or dry air to remove any dust or foreign materials before connecting
pipes. Do not use any tools which produce a lot of swarf such as a saw or a grinder.
