6. DRAIN PIPING WORK
(1) Carry out drain piping.
• Before brazing refrigerant piping, have nitrogen flow
through the refrigerant piping and substitute air with
nitrogen (NOTE 1) (Refer to Fig. 13). Then, carry out
brazing (NOTE 2).
After all the brazing works are finished, carry out flare
connection with the indoor unit. (Refer to Fig. 12)

1. The proper pressure for having nitrogen flow through the
piping is approximately 2.9 psi (0.02 MPa), a pressure
that makes one feel like breeze and can be obtained
through a pressure reducing valve.
2. Do not use flux when brazing refrigerant piping.
Use phosphor copper brazing filler metal (BCuP-2: JIS Z
3264/B-Cu93P-710/795: ISO 3677) that does not require
flux.
(If chlorinated flux is used, the piping will be corroded
and, in addition if fluorine is contained, the refrig erant
oil will be deteriorated and the refrigerant circuit will be
affected badly.)
3. When carrying out leakage test of refrigerant piping
and the indoor unit after the installation of indoor unit is
finished, confirm the connecting outdoor unit installation
manual for test pressure.
Refer to the outdoor unit installation manual or technical
document for refrigerant piping.
4. In case of refrigerant shortage due to forgetting addi-
tional refrigerant charge etc., it will result in malfunctions
such as not cooling or heating.
Refer to the outdoor unit installation manual or technical
document for refrigerant piping.
CAUTION
Do not use antioxidant when brazing piping.
It may result in malfunction of components and clogging of
piping due to residue.
Carry out drain piping so that drainage can ensured.
• Select the piping diameter equal to or larger than (ex-
cept for riser) that of the connection piping (PVC pipe
piping, nominal diameter 1 in. (25 mm), outside diam-
eter 1-1/4 in. (32 mm)).
• Install the drain piping as short as possible with down-
ward inclination of 1/100 or more where air cannnot
stagnate. (Refer to Fig. 14) Bubbling sound may
occur.
