•  Use pipes that meet the local standards. 
Piping Materials/Radial Thickness 
Use pipes made 
of 
phosphorus deoxidized copper. 
Since the operation pressure 
of 
the units that use  is 
hig_her 
than that 
of 
the units for use with R22,  use pipes with 
at least the radial thickness specified 
in 
the chart below. (Pipes with a radial thickness 
of 
0.7mm 
or 
less may not be used.)

•  Although it was possible to use type-O for pipes with a size 
of 
up 
to 
c/) 
19.05(3/4") with conventional refrigerants, use type-
1 /2H pipes for units that use  .(Type-O pipes may be used if the pipe size 
is 
c/)19.05 
and the radial thickness is 1.2t.) 
•  The table shows the standards 
in 
Japan. Using this table as a reference, choose pipes that meet the local standards. 
Flare Machining (type-O and OL only) 
The flare machining dimensions for units that use

If a clutch type flare tool is  used to machine flares 
on 
units that use  , make the protruding part 
of 
the pipe between 
1.0 and  1.5mm. Copper pipe gauge for adjusting the length 
of 
pipe protrusion is useful. 
Flare Nut 
Type-2 flare nuts instead 
of 
type-1  nuts are used to increase the strength. The size of some 
of 
the flare nuts have also 
been changed.
