B. USING SUCTION AND EXPANSION LINES
The expansion assembly must be removed from the indoor unit and connected to the outdoor unit allowing a
pipe run of up to 80m, including a maximum lift of 20m (CKC20 maximum 50m with 7.5m lift).
CX(E) units only, remove the right hand panel cover plate from the indoor unit and remove the expansion
assembly. [Make good the gap using Extended Pipe Run Kit 55900709 (30,40,50), 55900710 (70).]
Fit the expansion assembly onto the outdoor unit liquid line service valve. Fully insulate both the suction and
expansion lines, including the expansion device: ensure the pipes are insulated well over the drain tray at the
indoor unit.

PIPE CONNECTIONS
Units are supplied with the following
male flare connections (sizes in inches):
RESTRICTORS
Indoor units are supplied with restrictors fitted.
INTERCONNECTING PIPEWORK
1. Indoor and outdoor units have a low pressure charge of N
2
, which may be safely released into the
atmosphere before connection. The service valves on the outdoor unit should remain closed (IN, fully
clockwise) until pipework has been fitted, to avoid unnecessary moisture ingress.
2. Connecting the pipework
a. Remove the flare nuts from the suction and liquid service valves.
b. Ensure that the suction line is fully insulated: if an expansion line is used this should also be fully
insulated.
c. Place the flare nuts over the incoming pipework and flare the pipe ends. The use of a little
refrigeration oil on the flaring tool will help.
d. Connect the pipework between the units. Do not leave pipe ends, valves etc. open to the
atmosphere.
R407C is very hygroscopic, and will absorb damaging levels of moisture if left open.
Always use two spanners when tightening the flare nuts to avoid twisting the pipes. Use a small
amount of refrigerant oil on the mating surfaces.
e. Sight glasses and filter driers are not necessary, but if required should be fitted between the
outdoor unit liquid shut off valve and the expansion device.
