Piping work and refrigerant charge
D A N G E R
• Check that the gas and liquid stop valves are fully closed.
• Check that there is no gas inside the pipe before remo-
ving the stop pipe. Otherwise, the pipe may explode
when heated with the blow torch.
Special care should be taken to ensure that the flame from the
blow torch does not fall on the body of the stop valve, on the com-
pressor and cover or on the insulation bushings; insert a metal
plate in front of the oil return pipe: see on chapter
Connect the indoor units to the outdoor units using copper pipes
specifically for use with refrigerant. When laying the pipes make
sure that they do not directly rest on or touch walls or other parts
of the building (when the refrigerant is flowing through the pipes,
this could cause strange noises).
Specific torques for the flared connections: see on chapter
connection mounting.
While welding, apply a flow of nitrogen gas inside the pipe.
Fully insulate the refrigerant pipes.
