4. Refrigerant piping
CAUTION
• Usethearenutxedtothemainunit.(Thisistopreventthearenutfromcrackingasaresultofdeteriorationovertime.)
• Topreventgasleakage,applyrefrigerationoilonlytotheinnersurfaceoftheare.(UserefrigerationoilforR410A.)
• Useatorquewrenchwhentighteningthearenutstopreventdamagetothearenutsandgasleakage.
• Alignthecentersofbotharesandtightenthearenuts3or4turnsbyhand,thentightenthemfullywithaspanneranda
torque wrench.
Do not apply refrigeration
oil to the outer surface.
Flare nut
Apply refrigeration
oil only to the inner
surface of the flare.
Do not apply refrigeration oil to
the flare nut to avoid tightening
with excessive torque.

Cautions on pipe handling
• Protect the open end of the pipe from dust and moisture.
• All pipe bends should be as gentle as possible. Use a pipe bender for
bending.
Wall
If no flare cap is
available, cover
the flare mouth
with tape to keep
dirt and water out.
Be sure to
place a cap.

Selection of copper and heat insulation materials
Whenusingcommercialcopperpipesandttings,observethefollowing:
• Insulation material: Polyethylene foam
• Heat transfer rate: 0.041 to 0.052W/mK (0.024 to 0.030Btu/fth°F
(0.035 to 0.045kcal/mh°C))
Be sure to use insulation that is designed for use with HVAC Systems.
• Be sure to insulate both the gas and liquid piping and observe the insulation
dimensions as below.
