INSTALLATION METHOD
Connect the refrigerant lines to the unit first. When bending a refrigerant pipe, be careful not to kink
or crimp the pipe. DO NOT over-tighten the flare nut, otherwise leakage may occur. The outside
of the refrigerant pipe should have a layer of insulating cotton to protect it from mechanical damage
during installation, maintenance, and transportation.
Refrigerant lines should adopt water-proof insulating material. The pipe wall thickness should be
0.5-1.0 mm and able to withstand 6.0 MPa. Excessive length of the refrigerant lines will negatively
affect cooling and heating performance. Attempt to minimize refrigerant line length when possible.
When the drop between indoor and outdoor units is larger than 32 ft (10 m), an oil return bend
should be added every 19.69 ft (6 m).
Be extremely careful not to dent or damage the piping while bending them away from the unit.
Any dents in the piping will affect the unit’s performance.
