Connection of refrigerant pipe
Connect all the refrigerant pipes with flare connecting
work.
• Since the atmospheric pressure only is sealed
as the sealing gas, it is not abnormal that
"Pushu..." sound is not heard when the flare
nut is removed.
• Be sure to use a double spanner for pipe
connecting work of the indoor unit.
Work using double spanner

• Tightening torque of flare pipe connections
B
Pressure of R410A is higher than that of R22 by
approx. 1.6 times. Therefore, using a torque wrench,
tighten with the specified tightening torque the flare
pipe connecting sections which connect the indoor
and outdoor units. Incorrect connections may cause
not only a gas leak, but also a trouble of the
refrigerating cycle.
If an excessive torque is applied, the nut may
crack depending on the installation conditions.
Airtight test/Air purge, etc.
For airtight test, air purge, addition of refrigerant, and
gas leak check, follow the Installation Manual attached
to the outdoor unit.
Be sure to use the tool such as charge hose
exclusive to R410A.
Do not turn on the power until the airtight test and
the vacuuming have finished. (If turning on the
power, the incorporated PMV is closed fully and
the period until the vacuuming finishes elongates.
Open fully valves of the outdoor unit
Gas leak check
Check with a leak detector or soap water whether gas
leaks or not, from the pipe connecting section or cap
of the valve.
Use a leak detector manufactured exclusively for
HFC refrigerant (R410A, R134a, etc.).
