4.2. Indoor unit (Fig. 4-1)
• When commercially available copper pipes are used, wrap liquid and gas pipes
with commercially available insulation materials (heat-resistant to 100 °C or more,
thickness of 12 mm or more).
• The indoor parts of the drain pipe should be wrapped with polyethylene foam insula-
tion materials (specific gravity of 0.03, thickness of 9 mm or more).
• Apply thin layer of refrigerant oil to pipe and joint seating surface before tightening
flare nut.
• Use two wrenches to tighten piping connections.
• Use leak detector or soapy water to check for gas leaks after connections are
completed.
• Use refrigerant piping insulation provided to insulate indoor unit connections. Insulate
carefully following shown below.
• Use correct flare nuts meeting the pipe size of the outdoor unit.
• After connecting the refrigerant piping to the indoor unit, be sure to test the pipe
connections for gas leakage with nitrogen gas. (Check that there is no refrigerant
leakage from the refrigerant piping to the indoor unit.)
• Use flared nut installed to this indoor unit.
• In case of reconnecting the refrigerant pipes after detaching, make the flared part
of pipe re-fabricated.
• Apply refrigerating machine oil over the entire flare seat surface.
Do not apply refrigerating machine oil to the screw portions.
(This will make the flare nuts more apt to loosen.)
