NOTE:
The standard pipe length is 5m. If the pipe length exceed 5m, add refrigerant. (As shown in
above table)
Use pipes with thickness 0.8mm(1/4˝, 3/8˝, 1/2˝), 1.0mm(5/8˝), 1.2mm(3/4˝). The pipe wall shall
be able to withstand the pressure of 6.0 MPa.
The longer the refrigerant pipe, the lower the cooling effect and the heating effect.
When connect the pipe to the unit, use both wrench and torque wrench.
When connect, smear both inside and outside of the are nut with freeze motor oil, screw it by
hand and then tighten it with spanner.
See the table below for the are nut tightening torque. (too tight would damage the are nut
and gas leakage).

Check the refrigerant pipe for gas leakage, then insulate the pipes with heat insulation.
Wrap median sponge around the gas pipe and heat insulation.(Gas side only)
