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)

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.
• When piping has to be installed through a ceiling, closet or where the temperature

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

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.
10) Conduct a leak test

Precautions when using the control valve
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.
