Tightening torque of flare pipe connections
Pressure of R410A is higher than that of R22.
(Approx. 1.6 times)
Therefore, using a torque
wrench, tighten the flare pipe
connecting sections which
connect the indoor and
outdoor units of the specified
tightening torque.
Incorrect connections may
cause not only a gas leak, but
also a trouble of the
refrigeration cycle.
Align the centres of the connecting pipes and tighten
the flare nut as far as possible with your fingers. Then
tighten the nut with a spanner and torque wrench as
shown in the figure.
REQUIREMENT
Tightening with an excessive torque may crack the nut
depending on installation conditions.
Tighten the nut within the specified tightening torque.
Piping with outdoor unit
• Shape of valve differs according to the outdoor unit.
For details of installation, refer to the Installation
Manual of the outdoor unit.
Evacuation

for air purge.
REQUIREMENT
For the tools such as charge hose, etc., use those
manufactured exclusively for R410A.
Refrigerant amount to be added
For addition of the refrigerant, add refrigerant “R410A”
referring to the attached Installation Manual of outdoor
unit.
Be sure to use a scale to charge the refrigerant of
specified amount.
REQUIREMENT
• Charging an excessive or too little amount of
refrigerant causes a trouble of the compressor.
Be sure to charge the refrigerant of specified
amount.
• A personnel who charged the refrigerant should
write down the pipe length and the added
refrigerant amount in the nameplate attached to the
service panel of the outdoor unit. It is necessary to
troubleshooter the compressor and refrigeration
cycle malfunction.
Open the valve fully
Open the valve of the outdoor unit fully.
For details, refer to the Installation Manual attached to
