3-2. FLARE CONNECTION

1)Cut the copper pipe as straight as possible with a pipe cutter. (Fig. 1, 2)

2)Remove all burrs from the cut section of the pipe, ensuring that precautions are taken to avoid getting metal shavings into the piping. (Fig. 3)

Indoor unit connection

Connect both liquid and gas piping to indoor unit.

• Apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil (J) on the seat surface of pipe.

Outdoor unit connection

Connect pipes to stop valve pipe joint of the outdoor unit following the same procedure detailed in Indoor unit connection.

• For tightening, use a torque wrench or spanner.

3-4. INSULATION AND TAPING

1)Cover piping joints with pipe cover.

2)For outdoor unit side, insulate the piping, including valves.

3)Apply piping tape (G) starting from the connection on the outdoor unit.

4. PURGING PROCEDURES, LEAK TEST, AND TEST RUN

4-1. PURGING PROCEDURES AND LEAK TEST

1)	Remove service port cap of stop valve on the side of the outdoor unit gas pipe.
2)	Connect gauge manifold valve and vacuum pump to service port of stop valve on the
	gas pipe side of the outdoor unit.
3)	Run the vacuum pump 15 minutes or more.
4)	Check the vacuum with the gauge manifold valve, then close it and shut off the vacuum
	pump.
5)	Leave as it is for one or two minutes. Make sure pointer gauge manifold valve remains

	LQ+J>±PP+J@
6)	Quickly remove gauge manifold valve from service port of stop valve.
7)	After refrigerant pipes are connected and evacuated, fully open all stop valves on both
	sides of gas pipe and liquid pipe. Operating the unit without fully opening the valves
	lowers the performance and causes problems.
8)	Refer to 1-3. SPECIFICATIONS, and charge the prescribed amount of refrigerant if
	needed. Be sure to charge slowly with liquid refrigerant. Otherwise, composition of the
	refrigerant in the system may be changed and affect performance of the air conditioner.
9)	Tighten cap of service port.

Body

When attaching the control valve to the service port, valve core may deform or loosen if excess pressure is applied. This may cause gas leak.

When attaching the control valve to the service port, make sure that the valve core is in closed position, and then tighten part A. Do not tighten part A or turn the body when valve core is in open position.
