4. Refrigerant Piping Work
! WARNING
●● The design pressure for this product is 601 psi (4.15MPa). The pressure required for refrigerant R410A is
1.4 times higher than that of the refrigerant R22. That means that the refrigerant piping for R410A must be
thicker than that for R22. Make sure to use specified refrigerant piping. Otherwise, the refrigerant piping
may rupture due to an excessive refrigerant pressure. Pay close attention to the piping thickness when
using copper refrigerant piping.
●● Ensure that the stop valves are closed before removing the flare nut of the stop valves.
NOTICE
●● When handling the refrigerant, be sure to wear leather gloves to prevent injuries.

(7) Cautions for Brazing Work
(A) For piping connections, complete non-oxidation brazing with a nitrogen charge. If brazing the pipes
without the nitrogen substitution, a large amount of oxidized scaling will be generated in the piping.
This oxidized scaling can cause clogging inside the expansion valve, solenoid valve, accumulator,
and compressor, which can damage the unit.
Do not use field-supplied antioxidant which can corrode pipes and degrade the refrigerant oil.
