Refrigerant pipe connection
The main cause of refrigerant leakage is due to defects in the
flaring work. Carry out flaring work using the following procedure:
Note: When using refrigerant R32, a reusable flared connection is
the only allowed pipework on the outside of any building.
Hence the supplied "once only" flare fitting must be used unless all
welded connections are used. If welded connections are used, no
low temperature solder is permitted.
a. Cut the pipes and the cable
Use the piping kit accessory (if applicable) or pipes purchased
locally. Measure the distance between the indoor and the outdoor
unit. Cut the pipes a little longer than the measured distance. Cut
the cable 1.5m longer than the pipe length.
