This air conditioning system meets strict safety and operating
standards. As the installer or service person, it is an
important part of your job to install or service the system so it
operates safely and efficiently.
For safe installation and trouble-free operation, you must:
Carefully read this instruction booklet before beginning.
Follow each installation or repair step exactly as shown.
Observe all local, state, and national electrical codes.
Pay close attention to all warning and caution notices given
in this manual.
This symbol refers to a hazard or
WARNING
CAUTION
If Necessary, Get Help
These instructions are all you need for most installation
sites and maintenance conditions. If you require help for
a special problem, contact our sales/service outlet or
your certified dealer for additional instructions.
In Case of Improper Installation
The manufacturer shall in no way be responsible for
improper installation or maintenance service, including
failure to follow the instructions in this document.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
unsafe practice which can result
in severe personal injury or death.
This symbol refers to a hazard
or unsafe practice which can
result in personal injury or
product or property damage.
When Transporting
Be careful when picking up and moving the indoor and
outdoor units. Get a partner to help, and bend your knees
when lifting to reduce strain on your back. Sharp edges or thin
aluminum fins on the air conditioner can cut your fingers.
When Installing
In a Ceiling or Wall
Make sure the ceiling/wall is strong enough to hold the unit’s
weight. It may be necessary to construct a strong wood or
metal frame to provide added support.
In a Room
Properly insulate any tubing run inside a room to prevent
"sweating" that can cause dripping and water damage to walls
and floors.
In Moist or Uneven Locations
Use a raised concrete pad or concrete blocks to provide a
solid, level foundation for the outdoor unit. This prevents
water damage and abnormal vibration.
In an Area with High Winds
Securely anchor the outdoor unit down with bolts and a metal
frame. Provide a suitable air baffle.
In a Snowy Area (for Heat Pump-type Systems)
Install the outdoor unit on a raised platform that is higher than
drifting snow. Provide snow vents.
When Connecting Refrigerant Tubing
•
Use the flare method for connecting tubing.
•
Apply refrigerant lubricant to the matching surfaces of the
flare and union tubes before connecting them, then tighten
the nut with a torque wrench for a leak-free connection.
•
Check carefully for leaks before starting the test run.
When Servicing
WARNING
•
Do not supply power to the unit until all wiring and tubing
are completed or reconnected and checked.
•
Highly dangerous electrical voltages are used in this
system. Carefully refer to the wiring diagram and these
instructions when wiring. Improper connections and
inadequate grounding can cause accidental injury or death.
•
Ground the unit following local electrical codes.
•
Connect all wiring tightly. Loose wiring may cause
overheating at connection points and a possible fire
hazard.
•
Install a protective leakage breaker depending on the

installation location (especially a damp or humid
location). If a leakage breaker is not installed, electric
shock can occur.
•
Turn the power off at the main power box (mains) before
opening the unit to check or repair electrical parts and
wiring.
•
Keep your fingers and clothing away from any moving parts.
•
Clean up the site after you finish, remembering to check
that no metal scraps or bits of wiring have been left inside
the unit being serviced.
Others
CAUTION
Ventilate any enclosed areas when installing or testing the
•
refrigeration system. Escaped refrigerant gas, on contact
with fire or heat, can produce dangerously toxic gas.
Confirm upon completing installation that no refrigerant gas
•
is leaking. If escaped gas comes in contact with a stove,
gas water heater, electric room heater or other heat source,
it can produce dangerously toxic gas.

Because capillary tubing is used in the outdoor unit, both the
wide and narrow tubes of this air conditioner become cold. To
prevent heat loss and wet floors due to dripping of
condensation, both tubes must be well insulated with a
proper insulation material. The thickness of the insulation
should be a min. 5/16"(8 mm).
After a tube has been insulated,
CAUTION
never try to bend it into a narrow
curve because it can cause the tube
to break or crack.

7-1. Address Setting of the Remote
Control Unit
The address can be set in order to prevent
interference between remote controllers when two
indoor units are installed near each other. The
address is normally set to "A." To set a different
address, it is necessary to change the address on the
second remote controller.
NOTE
Once changed, you cannot restore the original
address setting of the air conditioner.
(1) Switch on the power source.
(2) Break the address-setting tab marked "A" on the
second remote controller to change the address
(Fig. 13). When the tab is removed, the address is
automatically set to B (Fig. 14).
(3) Press and hold the remote controller HIGH
POWER button and 1 HR TIMER button. Then,
press and hold the ACL (reset) button with a
pointed object such as the tip of a pen. After 5
seconds, release ACL button first, then release
HIGH POWER and 1 HR. TIMER buttons, "oP-1"
(test run) appears, blinking in the remote
controller clock display area.
(4) Each time the 1 HR TIMER button is pressed, the
display changes as shown below. Press this
button 2 times to change the display to "oP-7"
(address setting). (Fig. 15)

9. TROUBLESHOOTING
9-1. Precautions before Performing Inspection or Repair
After checking the self-diagnostics monitor, turn the power OFF before starting inspection or repair.
High-capacity electrolytic capacitors are used inside the outdoor unit controller (inverter). They retain an electrical charge
(charging voltage DC 310V) even after the power is turned OFF, and some time is required for the charge to dissipate. Be
careful not to touch any electrified parts before the controller LED (red) turns OFF.
If the outdoor controller is normal, approximately 30 seconds will be required for the charge to dissipate. However, allow
at least 5 minutes for the charge to dissipate if there is thought to be any trouble with the outdoor controller.
9-2. Method of Self-Diagnostics
Follow the procedure below to perform detailed trouble diagnostics.
NOTE
1: If the operation lamp blinks every 0.5 seconds immediately when the
power is turned ON, there is an external ROM (OTP data) failure on the
indoor circuit board, or a ROM socket insertion problem, or the ROM
has not been installed.
2: The failure mode is stored in memory even when the power is not ON.
Follow the procedure below to perform diagnostics.
PROCEDURE
After turning on power to the air conditioner, use the remote controller and
follow the steps below to execute self-diagnostics.
Step 1: Press and hold the remote controller HIGH POWER button and 1
HR TIMER button. Then, press and hold the ACL (reset) button
with a pointed object such as the tip of a pen. After 5 seconds,
release ACL button first, then release HIGH POWER and 1 HR
TIMER buttons, "oP-1" (test run) appears, blinking in the remote
controller clock display area.
Step 2: Next, press the 1 HR TIMER button once to change the display
from "oP-1" to "oP-3" (self-diagnostics). (The display continues to
blink.)
Step 3: Finally press the ON/OFF button to engage self-diagnostics mode.

9-5. Noise Malfunction and Electromagnetic Interference
An inverter A/C operates using pulse signal control and high frequencies. Therefore, it is susceptible to the effects of external
noise, and is likely to cause electromagnetic interference with nearby wireless devices.
A noise filter is installed for ordinary use, preventing these problems. However, depending on the installation conditions, these
effects may still occur. Please pay attention to the points listed below.
(1) Noise malfunction
This refers to the application of high-frequency noise to the signal wires, resulting in abnormal signal pulses and malfunction.
Locations most susceptible to noise
1. Locations near broadcast stations where
there are strong electromagnetic waves
2. Locations near amateur radio (short wave)
stations
3. Locations near electronic sewing machines
and arc-welding machines
Trouble
Either of the following trouble may occur.
1. The unit may stop suddenly during
operation.
2. Indicator lamps may flicker.
(The fundamental concept is to make the
system less susceptible to noise.)

(2) Electromagnetic interference
This refers to noise generated by high-speed switching of the microcomputer and compressor. This noise radiates through
space and returns to the electric wiring, affecting any wireless devices (televisions, radios, etc.) located nearby.
Locations most susceptible to noise
1. A television or radio is located near the
A/C and A/C wiring.
2. The antenna cable for a television or
radio is located close to the A/C and A/C
wiring.
3. Locations where television and radio
signals are weak.
Trouble
1. Noise appears in the television picture,
or the picture is distorted.
2. Static occurs in the radio sound.
1. Select a separate power source.
2. Keep the A/C and A/C wiring at least 1 meter
away from wireless devices and antenna cables.
3. Change the wireless device’s antenna to a highsensitivity antenna.
4. Change the antenna cable to a BS coaxial cable.
5. Use a noise filter (for the wireless device).
6. Use a signal booster.

11. REFRIGERANT R410A:
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS WHEN SERVICING UNIT
11-1. Characteristics of New Refrigerant R410A
11-1-1. What is New Refrigerant R410A?
R410A is a new refrigerant that contains two types of pseudo-non-azeotropic refrigerant mixture. Its
refrigeration capacity and energy efficiency are about the same level as the conventional refrigerant, R22.
11-1-2. Components (mixing proportions)
HFC32 (50%) / HFC125 (50%)
11-1-3. Characteristics
Less toxic, more chemically stable refrigerant
The composition of refrigerant R410A changes whether it is in a gaseous phase or liquid phase. Thus, when
there is a refrigerant leak the basic performance of the air conditioner may be degraded because of a change in
composition of the remaining refrigerant. Therefore, do not add new refrigerant. Instead, recover the
remaining refrigerant with the refrigerant recovery unit. Then, after evacuation, totally recharge the specified
amount of refrigerant with the new refrigerant at its normal mixed composition state (in liquid phase).
When refrigerant R410A is used, the composition will differ depending on whether it is in gaseous or liquid
phase, and the basic performance of the air conditioner will be degraded if it is charged while the refrigerant is in
gaseous state. Thus, always charge the refrigerant while it is in liquid phase.
CAUTION
Ether-type oil is used for compressor oil for R410A-type units, which is different
from the mineral oil used for R22. Thus more attention to moisture prevention and
faster replacement work compared with conventional models are required.
61
Page 62
11-2. Checklist before Servicing
Use a clutch-type flare tool for R410A or the conventional flare tool. Note that sizes of the resultant flares differ
between these two tools. Where a conventional flare tool is used, make sure to observe A Specification (amount of
extrusion) by using the flare spacer.
Diameter of tube D

Spacer
A
Refrigerant R410A is more easily affected by dust or moisture compared with R22, thus be sure to temporarily
cover the ends of the tubing with caps or tape prior to installation.
Never use 0.0276" (0.7 mm)-thick copper tubing or tubing which is less than 0.0315" (0.8 mm) in thickness, since
air conditioners with R410A are subject to higher pressure than those using R22 and R407C.
No addition of compressor oil for R410A
No additional charge of compressor oil is permitted.
No use of refrigerant other than R410A
Never use a refrigerant other than R410A.
If refrigerant R410A is exposed to fire
Through welding, etc., toxic gas may be released when R410A refrigerant is exposed to fire. Therefore, be sure
to provide ample ventilation during installation work.
Caution in case of R410A leak
Check for possible leak points with the special leak detector for R410A. If a leak occurs inside the room,
immediately provide thorough ventilation.

CAUTION
To prevent other refrigerants (R22, R407C) from being mistakenly charged to this unit, shape and external
diameter of the service port screw has been altered.
<External diameter of service port> R410A : 5/16"
R22, R407C : 1/4"
The above tools specifically for R410A must not be used for R22 and R407C.
Doing so will cause malfunction of the unit.
For the above vacuum pump (*1, *2) and vacuum pump adapter (*3), those for
R22-type units can be used for R410A-type. However, they must be used
exclusively for R410A and never alternately with R22 and R407C.

11-4. Tubing Installation Procedures
When the tubes are connected, always apply HAB oil on the flare portions to improve the sealing of tubing.
The following is the HAB oil generally used:
Esso: ZERICE S32
NOTE
For details on tubing installation procedures, refer to the installation manuals attached to the indoor
unit and outdoor unit.
63
Page 64
11-5. In Case of Compressor Malfunction
CAUTION
Should the compressor malfunction, be sure to make the switch to a replacement
compressor as quickly as possible.
Use only the tools indicated exclusively for R410A. See "11-3. Tools
Specifically for R410A."
11-5-1. Procedure for Replacing Compressor
(1) Recovering refrigerant
Any remaining refrigerant inside the unit should not be
released to the atmosphere, but recovered using the
refrigerant recovery unit for R410A.
Do not reuse the recovered refrigerant, since it will contain
impurities.
(2) Replacing Compressor
Soon after removing seals of both discharge and suction
tubes of the new compressor, replace it quickly.
(3) Checking for sealing
(1) Recover refrigerant
OK
(2) Replace compressor
OK
Use nitrogen gas for the pressurized gas, and never use a
refrigerant other than R410A. Also do not use oxygen or
any flammable gas.
(4) Evacuation
Use a solenoid valve-installed vacuum pump so that
even if power is cut off in the middle of evacuation of air
due to a power interruption, the valve will prevent the
pump oil from flowing back.
The equipment may be damaged if moisture remains in
the tubing, thus carry out the evacuation thoroughly.
When using a vacuum pump with exhaust air volume more
than 0.883 cu.ft./min. and ultimate vacuum pressure rate
of 50 micron Hg.

(5) Recharging
Configuration and characteristics of cylinders
Be sure to charge the specified amount of
refrigerant in liquid state using the service port
of the wide tube service valve. The proper
amount is listed on the unit's nameplate.
When the entire amount cannot be charged all at
once, charge gradually while operating the unit in
Cooling Operation.
CAUTION
Never charge a large amount
of liquid refrigerant at once to
the unit. This may cause
damage to the compressor.
When charging with a refrigerant cylinder, use an
electronic scale for charging refrigerant. In this
case, if the volume of refrigerant in the cylinder
becomes less than 20% of the fully-charged
amount, the composition of the refrigerant starts
to change. Thus, do not use the refrigerant if
the amount in the charging cylinder is less
than 20%.
Also, charge the minimum necessary amount to
the charging cylinder before using it to charge
the air conditioning unit.
Valve

For the remaining refrigerant, refer to the
instructions of the refrigerant manufacturer.
If using a charging cylinder, transfer the specified
amount of liquid refrigerant from the refrigerant
cylinder to the charging cylinder.
Prepare an evacuated charging cylinder
beforehand.
CAUTION
To prevent the composition
of R410A from changing,
never bleed the refrigerant

11-6. In Case Refrigerant is Leaking
CAUTION
Never attempt to charge additional refrigerant when refrigerant has been leaking
from the unit. Follow the procedure described below to locate points of leaks and
carry out repairs, then recharge the refrigerant.
(1) Detecting Leaks
Use the detector for R410A to locate refrigerant leak
points.
(2) Recovering refrigerant
Never release the gas to the atmosphere; recover
residual refrigerant using the refrigerant recovery unit for
R410A, instead.
Do not reuse the recovered refrigerant because its
composition will have been altered.
(3) Welding leaking points
Confirm again that no residual refrigerant exists in the unit
before starting welding.
Weld securely using flux and wax for R410A.
Prevent oxide film from forming inside the tubes utilizing
substitution with nitrogen (N2) in the refrigerant circuit of
the unit. Leave ends of tubes open during welding.
(1) Detect leaks
OK
(2) Recover refrigerant
OK
(3) Weld leaking points
OK
(4) Checking for sealing
Use nitrogen gas for the pressurized gas, and never use
a refrigerant other than R410A. Also do not use oxygen or
any flammable gas.
(5) Evacuation
Use a solenoid valve-installed vacuum pump so that
even if power is cut off in the middle of evacuation of air
due to a power interruption, the valve will prevent the
pump oil from flowing back.

11-7. Charging Additional Refrigerant
11-7-1. When Tubes are Extended
Observe the proper amount of refrigerant as stated in this service manual or the installation manual that came
with the indoor unit. Charge additional refrigerant in liquid state only.
CAUTION
Never charge additional refrigerant if refrigerant is leaking from the unit. Follow
instructions given in "11-6. In Case Refrigerant is Leaking" and completely carry
out repairs. Only then should you recharge the refrigerant.
11-8. Retro-Fitting Existing Systems
11-8-1. Use of Existing Units
Never use new refrigerant R410A for existing units which use R22. This will cause the air conditioner to
operate improperly and may result in a hazardous condition.
11-8-2. Use of Existing Tubing
If replacing an older unit that used refrigerant R22 with a R410A unit, do not use its existing tubing. Instead,
completely new tubing must be used.

Heating () Operation
SETTING THE TIMER
NOTE
In the descriptions below, the following settings are used for the
temperature and time indicator selector button on the bottom front
section of the remote control.
• Temperature: °F
• Time: AM, PM
Heating performance
• Because this air conditioner heats a room by drawing in the heat of
the outside air (heat pump system), the heating efficiency will fall
off when the outdoor temperature is very low. If sufficient heat
cannot be obtained with this air conditioner, use another heating
appliance together with it.
Defrosting
• When the outdoor temperature is low, frost or ice may form on the
heat exchanger coil, reducing heating performance. When this
happens, a microcomputer defrosting system operates. At the
same time, the fan on the indoor unit stops and the OPERATION
lamp lights red and orange alternately until defrosting is completed.
Heating operation restarts after several minutes. (This interval will
vary slightly depending upon the outdoor temperature and the way
in which frost forms.)
Cold draft prevention
• For several minutes after the start of heating operation, the indoor
fan runs at a lower speed until the indoor heat exchanger coil has
warmed up sufficiently. However, the fan may remain stopped when
the room temperature is low. This is because the COLD DRAFT
PREVENTION SYSTEM is in operation.
Cooling ( ) operation
• Sometimes the indoor unit may not get to the set fan speed such as
LOW under cool operation at very low outdoor temperatures due to
the indoor unit being protected from ice or frost.
Power failure during operation
• In the event of power failure, the unit will stop. When the power is
resumed, the unit will restart automatically within five minutes by
the remote control unit.

TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVING
Do not
• Block the air intake and outlet of the unit. If they are
obstructed, the unit will not work well, and may be damaged.
• Let direct sunlight into the room. Use sunshades, blinds or curtains.
If the walls and ceiling of the room are warmed by the sun, it will
take longer to cool the room.
Do
• Always try to keep the air filter clean. (Refer to “CARE AND
CLEANING”.) A clogged filter will impair the performance of the
unit.
• To prevent conditioned air from escaping, keep windows, doors and
any other openings closed.

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
When Installing…
…In a Ceiling or Wall
Make sure the ceiling/wall is strong enough to hold the
unit’s weight. It may be necessary to construct a strong
wood or metal frame to provide added support.
…In a Room
Properly insulate any tubing run inside a room to prevent
“sweating” that can cause dripping and water damage to
walls and floors.
…In Moist or Uneven Locations
Use a raised concrete pad or concrete blocks to provide a
solid, level foundation for the outdoor unit. This prevents
water damage and abnormal vibration.
…In an Area with High Winds
Securely anchor the outdoor unit down with bolts and a
metal frame. Provide a suitable air baffle.
…In a Snowy Area (for Heat Pump-type Systems)
Install the outdoor unit on a raised platform that is higher
than drifting snow. Provide snow vents.
When Connecting Refrigerant Tubing
• Use the flare method for connecting tubing.
• Apply refrigerant lubricant to the matching surfaces of
the flare and union tubes before connecting them, then
tighten the nut with a torque wrench for a leak-free
connection.
• Check carefully for leaks before starting the test run.
When Servicing
• Do not supply power to the unit until all wiring and tubing
• Highly dangerous electrical voltages are used in this
• Ground the unit following local electrical codes.
• Connect all wiring tightly. Loose wiring may cause over-
When Transporting
Be careful when picking up and moving the indoor and outdoor units. Get a partner to help, and bend your knees when
lifting to reduce strain on your back. Sharp edges or thin aluminum fins on the air conditioner can cut your fingers.

heating at connection points and a possible fire hazard.
• Turn the power OFF at the main power box (mains) before
opening the unit to check or repair electrical parts and
wiring.
• Keep your fingers and clothing away from any moving
parts.
• Clean up the site after you finish, remembering to check
that no metal scraps or bits of wiring have been left inside
the unit being serviced.
Others
• Ventilate any enclosed areas when installing or testing
the refrigeration system. Escaped refrigerant gas, on
contact with fire or heat, can produce dangerously
toxic gas.
• Confirm upon completing installation that no refrigerant
gas is leaking. If escaped gas comes in contact with a
stove, gas water heater, electric room heater or other heat
source, it can produce dangerously toxic gas.

transportation before hanging up the indoor unit.
(2) When placing the unit inside the ceiling, determine
the pitch of the suspension bolts using the supplied
full-scale installation diagram. (Fig. 6-3)
Tubing and wiring must be laid inside the ceiling
when suspending the unit. If the ceiling is already
constructed, lay the tubing and wiring into position
for connection to the unit before placing the unit
inside the ceiling.
(3) The length of suspension bolts must be appropriate
for a distance between the bottom of the bolt and the
bottom of the unit of more than 19/32" (15 mm) as

CAUTION
CAUTION
(1) Prepare standard hard PVC pipe (locally purchased O.D.
1-1/32" (26 mm)) for the drain and use the supplied hose
band to prevent water leaks. (Fig. 6-5)
(2) To install the drain hose, first place 1 of the 2 hose bands
over the unit drain port and the other hose band over the
hard PVC pipe (not supplied). Then connect both ends of
the supplied drain hose. (Fig. 6-5)
(3) On the unit drain side, grasp the hose band with pliers
and insert the drain hose all the way to the base.
G If other commercially available hose bands are used, the
drain hose may become pinched or wrinkled and there is
danger of water leakage. Therefore be sure to use the
supplied hose bands. When sliding the hose bands, be
careful to avoid scratching the drain hose.
G Do not use adhesive when connecting the supplied drain
hose to the drain port (either on the main unit or the PVC
pipe).
Reasons:a) It may cause water to leak from the connec-
tion. Since the connection is slippery just
after the adhesive has been applied, the
pipe easily slips off.
b) The pipe cannot be removed when mainte-
nance is needed.
Fig. 6-5
G Attach so that the hose band
fastener is on the side of the
drain port.
G Attach the hose bands so that
each is approximately 3/16"
(5 mm) to 15/16" (25 mm) from
the end of the supplied drain
hose.
(4) Wrap the hose with the supplied drain hose insulation
and use the 4 twist ties so that the hose is insulated with
no gaps.
G Do not bend the supplied drain hose 90° or more. The
hose may slip off.
NOTE
Make sure the drain pipe has a downward gradient (1/100 or
more) and that there are no water traps.
G In cases where it is necessary to raise the height of the
drain piping, the drain piping can be raised to a maximum
height of 2.78 ft. (850 mm) above the bottom surface of
the ceiling. Under no conditions attempt to raise it higher
than 2.78 ft. (850 mm) above the bottom surface of the
ceiling. Doing so will result in water leakage. (Fig. 6-7)
G Do not use natural drainage.
G Do not install the pipe with an upward gradient from the
connection port. This will cause the drain water to flow
backward and leak when the unit is not operating.
G Do not apply force to the piping on the unit side when
(Fig. 6-8)
connecting the drain pipe. The pipe should not be
allowed to hang unsupported from its connection to the
unit. Fasten the pipe to a wall, frame, or other support as
close to the unit as possible. (Fig. 6-9)
G Provide insulation for any pipes that are run indoors.
Fig. 6-6
G Do not install an air bleeder as
this may cause water to spray
from the drain pipe outlet.

pan to check drainage. (Fig. 6-10a)
(3) Remove the 2 screws from the control box cover, then open
the cover. Be careful not to drop the cover at this time.
(4) Disconnect the FS 3P connector (red) on the control PCB and
operate the drain pump. (Fig. 6-10b) Check the water flow
through the transparent drain pipe and see if there is any
leakage.
(5) When the check of drainage is complete, reconnect the FS
3P connector and remount the control cover.
The drain pump will continue to
operate for a minimum of 6 minutes after the FS 3P connector is
reconnected.

3-7. Wiring Instructions
General precautions on wiring
(1) Before wiring, confirm the rated voltage of the unit as shown on its nameplate,
then carry out the wiring closely following the wiring diagram.
(2) Provide a power outlet to be used exclusively for each unit, with a power supply
disconnect and circuit breaker for overcurrent protection provided in the exclusive line.
(3) To prevent possible hazards due to insulation failure, the unit must be grounded.
(4) Each wiring connection must be done tightly and in accordance with the wiring
system diagram. Wrong wiring may cause the unit to misoperate or become
damaged.
(5) Do not allow wiring to touch the refrigerant tubing, compressor, or any moving
parts of the fan.
(6) Unauthorized changes in the internal wiring can be very dangerous. The manu-
facturer will accept no responsibility for any damage or misoperation that occurs
as a result of such unauthorized changes.
3-8. Recommended Wire Length and Diameter
Regulations on wiring diameter differ from locality to locality. For field wiring requirements, please refer to your local electrical codes. Carefully observe these regulations when carrying out the installation.
Table 4 lists recommended wire lengths and diameters for power supply systems.

5-1. Use of the Flaring Method
Many of the conventional split system air conditioners
employ the flaring method to connect refrigerant tubes
which run between indoor and outdoor units. In this
method, the copper tubes are flared at each end and
connected with flare nuts.
5-2. Flaring Procedure with a Flare Tool
(1) Cut the copper tube to the required length with a
tube cutter. It is recommended to cut approx. 12" to
20" (30 to 50 cm) longer than the tubing length you
estimate.
(2) Remove burrs at the end of the copper tube with a
tube reamer or file. This process is important and
should be done carefully to make a good flare.
(Fig. 15)
NOTE
When reaming, hold the tube end downward and be
sure that no copper scraps fall into the tube. (Fig. 16)

(3) Remove the flare nut from the unit and be sure to
mount it on the copper tube.
(4) Make a flare at the end of copper tube with a flare
tool.* (Figs. 17 and 18)
(*Use “RIDGID” or equivalent.)
NOTE
A good flare should have the following characteristics:
G inside surface is glossy and smooth.
G edge is smooth.
G tapered sides are of uniform length.
5-3. Caution before Connecting Tubes Tightly
a)Be sure to apply a sealing cap or water-proof tape
to prevent dust or water from getting into the tubes
before they are used.
b)Be sure to apply refrigerant lubricant to the match-
ing surfaces of the flare and union before connecting them together. This is effective for reducing gas
leaks. (Fig. 19)
c)For proper connection, align the union tube and
flare tube straight with each other, then screw in the
flare nut lightly at first to obtain a smooth match.
(Fig. 20)
If the special R410A
flare tool is used:
0 to 0.0196"
(0 to 0.5 mm)
If the previous flare tool
(clutch-type) is used:
0.0472" (1.2 mm)
Adjust so that the amount of tube
protrusion is asshown in the figure.
