Installing and connecting the assembly pipe of the indoor unit Connect indoor and outdoor units with field-supplied copper pipes by means of flare connections. Use insulated seamless refrigeration grade pipe only, (Cu DHP type according to ISO1337), degreased and deoxidized, suitable for operating pressures of at least 4200 kPa and for burst pressure of at least 20700 kPa. Under no circumstances must sanitary type copper pipe be used. There are 2 refrigerant pipes of different diameters: • The smaller one is for the liquid refrigerant • The larger one is for the gas refrigerant A short pipe is already fitted to the air conditioner.
Evacuating the indoor unit The indoor unit is supplied with inert gas (nitrogen). Before installing the unit, check if nitrogen gas flows out of indoor unit. If this one isn’t true, DO NOT INSTALL THE UNIT since leakage could be inside the indoor unit. 1.
