*1 If the combination units 1 and 2 are in a different order as listed in the table, make sure to use the pipes of appropriate size for the situation.
*2 If the length of "High-pressure pipe A" exceeds 65 m (213 ft), use the ø28.58 (ø1-1/8) pipes for all pipes after 65 m (213 ft).

9-5. Piping connections and valve operations
Before heating the brazed sections, remove the gas and oil that are trapped in the pipes.
- Failure to do so may generate fire, resulting in serious injury.
Ventilate the room while servicing the unit.
- If the refrigerant leaks, oxygen deficiency may result. If the leaked refrigerant comes in contact with a heat source,
toxic gas will be generated.
Store pipes indoors, and keep both ends of the pipes sealed until just before making a flare connection or
brazing. (Store elbows and other joints in plastic bags.)
- If dust, dirt, or water enters the refrigerant lines, the refrigerant oil will deteriorate and the compressor will
malfunction.
Keep the service valves closed until refrigerant charging is completed.
- Failure to do so will damage the unit.
Place a wet towel on the service valves before brazing the pipes to keep the temperature of the valves from
rising above 120ºC (248ºF).
- Failure to do so may result in equipment damage.
Keep the flame out of contact with the cables and metal sheet when brazing the pipes.
- Failure to do so may result in burnout or malfunction.
Braze the pipes with a nitrogen purge to avoid oxidation.
- Oxidized flux inside the refrigerant pipes will cause the refrigerant oil to deteriorate and cause the compressor to
malfunction.
