5.1. Refrigerant pipe (Fig. 5-1)
► Check that the difference between the heights of the indoor and outdoor
units, the length of refrigerant pipe, and the number of bends in the pipe
are within the limits shown below.

• Height difference limitations are binding regardless of which unit, indoor or out
-
door, is positioned higher.
• Refrigerant adjustment ... If pipe length exceeds 7 m, additional refrigerant
(R410A) charge is required.
(The outdoor unit is charged with refrigerant for pipe length up to 7 m.)
Pipe length
Up to 7 m No additional charge is required.
Exceeding 7 m
Additional charge is required.
(Refer to the table below.)

(2) Ensure that the 2 refrigerant pipes are well insulated to prevent condensation.
(3) Refrigerant pipe bending radius must be 100 mm or more.
Caution:
Using careful insulation of specied thickness. Excessive thickness prevents
storage behind the indoor unit and smaller thickness causes dew drippage.
5.2. Flaring work

Carryoutcorrectaringworkinthefollowingprocedure.
5.2.1. Pipe cutting (Fig. 5-3)
• Using a pipe cutter cut the copper tube correctly.
5.2.2. Burrs removal (Fig. 5-4))
• Completely remove all burrs from the cut cross section of pipe/tube.
• Put the end of the copper tube/pipe to downward direction as you remove burrs
in order to avoid burrs drop in the tubing.
5.2.3. Putting nut on (Fig. 5-5)
