5()5,*(5$17 6$)(7< 67$1'$5'6 DEVICE CONNECTION LIMITATIONS Refrigerant Safety Standards ASHRAE Standards 15-2010 and 34-2010 address refrigerant safety and the maximum allowable concentration of refrigerant in an occupied space. Refrigerant will dissipate into the atmosphere, but a certain volume of air is required to safely dissipate the refrigerant. For R410A refrigerant, the maximum allowable concentration of refrigerant is 26 lbs.
SELECTING FIELD SUPPLIED PIPING Selecting Field-Supplied Copper Piping Single Zone Mega and Mega 115V Wall Mounted Installation Manual Always follow local codes when selecting and installing copper pipe and piping system components. Approved piping for use with LG Single Zone products will be marked “R410 RATED” along the length of the pipe. Piping wall thickness must meet local code requirements and be approved for a maximum operating pressure of 551 psi.
COPPER EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION Copper Expansion and Contraction Under normal operating conditions, the vapor pipe temperature of a Duct Free System can vary as much as 280°F. With this large variance in pipe temperature, the designer must consider pipe expansion and contraction to avoid pipe and fitting fatigue failures. If the pipe is mounted in free air space, no natural restriction to movement is present if mounting clamps are properly spaced and installed.

PIPING HANDLING Piping Materials and Handling Keep Pipes Capped While Storing. Pipes used for the refrigerant piping system must include the specified thickness, and the interior must be clean. While handling and storing, do not bend or damage the pipes, and take care not to contaminate the interior with dust, moisture, etc. Keep refrigerant pipe dry, clean, and airtight. Moisture Possible - Significant hydrolysis of refrigerant oil. Problems - Refrigerant oil degradation.
REFRIGERANT SYSTEM ENGINEERING Single Zone Mega and Mega 115V Wall Mounted Installation Manual Proper system operation depends on the installer using utmost care while assembling the piping system. The following pages are an overview of best practices when installing the refrigerant piping system. LG Electronics U.S.A.,Inc.
REFRIGERANT SYSTEM ENGINEERING Obstacles Figure 32: Installing Piping Above and Below an Obstacle. 3X MINIMUM X X 3X MINIMUM Above an obstacle Below an obstacle Pipe Supports Figure 33: Pipe Hanger Details. A properly installed pipe system must be adequately supported to avoid pipe sagging. Sagging pipes become oil traps that lead to equipment malfunction. Pipe supports must never touch the pipe wall; supports must be installed outside (around) the primary pipe insulation jacket.
REFRIGERANT SYSTEM ENGINEERING Pipe Sleeves at Penetrations Single Zone Mega and Mega 115V Wall Mounted Installation Manual LG requires that all pipe penetrations through walls, floors, and pipes buried underground be properly insulated and routed through an appropriate wall sleeve of sufficient size to prevent compression of refrigerant pipe insulation and free movement of the pipe within the sleeve.
FLARING AND BRAZING PROCEDURES Flaring and Brazing Procedures One of the main causes of refrigerant leaks is a defective connection. For LG HVAC systems, the installer needs to know how perform both flared and brazed connections successfully. • During installation, it is imperative to keep the piping system free of contaminants and debris such as copper burrs, slag, or carbon dust. Do not use kinked pipe caused by excessive bending in one specific area on its length. • Flaring Procedure 1.

When connecting the flare nuts, coat the flare (outside only) with polyvinyl ether (PVE) refrigeration oil only.
REFRIGERANT PIPING CONNECTIONS Installation Overview Installation Single Zone Mega and Mega 115V Wall-Mounted systems are one-to-one systems. There is a direct piping connection between the outdoor unit and the indoor unit. The figure at right illustrates the basic pipe connections between the outdoor and indoor unit. Refer to the illustration when proceeding with pipe connections. The illustration shows the indoor unit being installed at a higher position than the outdoor unit.
