Refrigerant pipe connection
The main cause of refrigerant leakage is due to defects in the
flaring work. Carr y 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.

Air purging and leakage test
Note: Any brazed connections must be completed before
evacuation and prior to the release of any refrigerant into the
refrigerating components.
Air and moisture in the refrigeration system have undesirable
effects as indicated below:
• System pressure increase
• Rise of the operating current.
• Cooling or heating efficiency drops.
• Moisture in the refrigeration circuit may freeze and block the
capillary tubing.
• Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the refrigeration
system.
Therefore, the indoor unit and tubing between the indoor and
outdoor units must be tested for leakage and evacuated to remove
any non-condensables and moisture from the system.
