Tightening connection
Align the centers of the connecting pipes and tighten the fl are nut as far as
possible with your fi ngers. Then tighten the nut with a spanner and torque
wrench as shown in the fi gure.

Do not apply excess torque. Otherwise, the nut may crack depending on
the conditions.

 Tightening torque for connection of fl are pipe
The pressure of R410A is higher than R22.
(Approx. 1.6 times.) Therefore securely
tighten the fl are pipes which connect the
outdoor unit and the indoor unit with the
specifi ed tightening torque using a torque
wrench. If any fl are pipe is incorrectly
connected, it may cause not only
a gas leakage but also trouble in the
refrigeration cycle.
Evacuating
After the piping has been connected to the indoor unit, you can perform
vacuuming together at once.
VACUUMING
Evacuate the air in the connecting pipes and in the indoor unit using a
vacuum pump. Do not use the refrigerant in the outdoor unit. For details, see
the manual of the vacuum pump.
Using a vacuum pump
Be sure to use a vacuum pump with counter-fl ow prevention function so
that inside oil of the pump does not fl ow backward into pipes of the air
conditioner when the pump stops.
(If oil inside of the vacuum pump enters the air conditioner, which use
R410A, refrigeration cycle trouble may happen.)

CAUTION
 KEEP IMPORTANT 5 POINTS FOR PIPING WORK.
(1) Take away dust and moisture (inside of the connecting pipes).
(2) Tighten the connections (between pipes and unit).
(3) Evacuate the air in the connecting pipes using a VACUUM PUMP.
(4) Check gas leak (connected points).
(5) Be sure to fully open the packed valves before operation.
