Gauge manifold . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (Fig.4-1)
Since the normal pressure is high, the connection pipe size 
is also different.
Charge hose . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (Fig.4-2)
Refrigerant cylinder   . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (Fig.4-3)
Confirm the refrigerant type before charging. Always 
charge liquid-phase refrigerant.
Electronic balance for refrigerant 
charging . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (Fig.4-4)
Electronic balance is recommended as in the case of 
R410A. 
Vacuum pump with adapter to prevent 
reverse flow . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .(Fig.4-5)
Conventional pump can be used. 
Vacuum holder . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (Fig.4-6)
Conventional pump can be used if adapter for preventing 
vacuum pump oil from flowing back is used. 
Gas leakage tester . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (Fig.4-7)

Flare tool . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (Fig.4-9)
Torque wrench . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (Fig.4-10)
Refrigerant recovering 
equipment (Collector) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (Fig.4-11)
The type which can be used for any refrigerant is available 
Nitrogen cylinder . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (Fig.4-12)
This prevents an oxide film from forming in the pipe silveralloy brazing work by turning the air out of the pipe and 
preventing the inside combustion. 
Safety charger . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (Fig.4-13)
It is always compulsory to change the liquid, because 
R410A is a mixed refrigerant and there is some fear that a 
mixing ratio changes. In order to avoid the refrigerant from 
returning to the compressor in a liquid state, the refrigerant 
can be charged instead of giving a load to the compressor 
with a safety charger. 
Control valve . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (Fig.4-14)
The control valve prevents the refrigerant from spouting 
when it is removed, as the charging hose side and the service port side are possible to open and close at the same 
time. 
Thermistor vacuum gauge . . . . . . . . . . . (Fig.4-15)
To remove moisture from the refrigerating cycle completely, it is necessary to perform appropriate vacuum drying. 
For that reason, vacuum conditions can be confirmed certainly. 
Vacuum valve . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (Fig.4-16)
This valve builts in a check valve, and it is easily possible 
to vacuum a refrigerating cycle or check for degree of vacuum with it.

This air conditioner used R410A. 
For installation and servicing, it is necessary to prepare the 
tools and machines that are different from the previous 
refrigerant.
Mark shows the exclusive use for R410A.
The specification of the gauge is different due 
to higher pressure. 
The size of connection pipe is also different to 
prevent mis-use. 
The shape of flare is different for 
high pressure condition.
