3-7. Taping the Tubes

After a tube has been insulated, CAUTION never try to bend it into a narrow curve, as this may cause the tube

to break or crack.

(1)At this time, the 2 refrigerant tubes (and electrical wire if local codes permit) should be taped together with armoring tape. The drain hose may also be included and taped together as 1 bundle with the tubing.

(2)Wrap the armoring tape from the bottom of the outdoor unit to the top of the tubing where it enters the wall. As you wrap the tubing, overlap half of each previous tape turn. (Fig. 18)

(3)Clamp the tubing bundle to wall, using 1 clamp approx. every 47" (120 cm).

NOTE

Do not wind the armoring tape too tightly, since this will decrease the heat insulation effect. Also, be sure the con- densation drain hose splits away from the bundle and drips clear of the unit and the tubing.

3-8. Finishing the Installation

After finishing insulating and taping over the tubing, use sealing putty to seal off the hole in the wall to prevent rain and draft from entering. (Fig. 19)

In order to protect the earth’s environment, be sure to use a vacuum pump to perform the air purge.

(Never perform an air purge by using the refrigerant gas cylinder or other external gas, or by using the gas inside the outdoor unit.)

CAUTION

In order to prevent charging errors with the air conditioner that uses R410A, the screw diameter at the service valve charging port has been changed. When recharging or performing other servicing, use the special charging hose and manifold gauge.
