4. Connect the pipes using two spanners, taking care not to damage the pip-
ing. If the tightening force is insuffi cient, then there may well be leaks. And
if the tightening force is excessive, then there may also be leaks as the
fl ange could be damaged. The safest system is constructed by tightening
the connection using a fi xed spanner and a dynamometric spanner: in this
case, use the table "tightening torques for fl ange connections".
5. We recommend you leave an extra 50 cm of pipe for any subsequent work
carried out in the vicinity of the cocks.

2.8 Connections to the external unit

Screw the pipe unions onto the external unit connections with the same tight-
ness as for the internal unit.
To avoid leaks, pay particular attention to the following points:
- Tighten the pipe unions, taking care not to damage the piping.
- If the tightening force is insuffi cient, then there may well be leaks. And if the
tightening force is excessive, then there may also be leaks as the fl ange
could be damaged.
- The safest system is constructed by tightening the connection using a dy-
namometric spanner: in this case, use the tables below (for copper piping).

LENGTH OF THE PIPING
The maximum length for the connection piping varies depending on the mod-
el. When the length is over 5 m, take care to add the right amount of refriger-
ant per metre.
If you need to install the external and internal units with a height diff erence
over 5 m (fi g. B and fi g. C), use siphons on the gas piping in order to allow oil
to return to the compressor properly.
NOTE:
We recommend making a loop in the piping near the external unit, so as to
reduce the vibrations transmitted from that point.
IMPORTANT: CHECK FOR REFRIGERANT LEAKS
Once you have created the connections and a vacuum, open the cocks so
that the gas fi lls the piping and always check for leaks using a leak detector
(risk of personal injury from cold burns).
