4.3 Installation of Connection Pipe 

4.3.1 Precautions for the Installation of Connection Pipe 

(1) 
Conform to the following principles during pipe connection: Connection pipe should be as 

short as possible, so is the height difference between indoor and outdoor units. Keep the 

number of bends as little as possible. Radius of curvature should be as large as possible. 

(2) 
Weld the connection pipe between indoor and outdoor units. Please strictly follow the 

requirements for welding process. Rosin joint or pin hole is not allowed. 

(3) 
Radius of bending parts should be over 200mm(8inch). Note that pipes cannot be 

repeatedly bent or stretched; otherwise the material will get harder. Do not bend or stretch 

the pipe for more than 3 times at the same position. 

4.3.2 Flaring Process 

(1) 
Use pipe cutter to cut the connection pipe in case it is unshaped. 

(2) 
Keep the pipe downward in case cutting scraps get into the pipe. Clear away the burrs after 

cutting. 

(3) 
Remove the flared nut connecting indoor connection pipe and outdoor unit. Then use flaring 

tool to fix the flared nut into the pipe (as shown in Fig.10). 

(4) 
Check if the flared part is flaring evenly and if there is any crack. 

4.3.3 Pipe Bending 

(1) 
Reshape the pipe by hand. Be careful not to damage the pipe. 

                Fig. 11                                       Fig. 12 

(2) 
Do not bend the pipe over 90°. 

(3) 
If pipe is repeatedly bent or stretched, it will get hard and difficult to bend and stretch again. 

Therefore, do not bend or stretch the bend for over 3 times. 

(4) 
In case that direct bending will open cracks to the pipe, first use sharp cutter to cut the 

insulating layer, as shown in Fig.12. Do not bend the pipe until it is exposed. When bending 

is done, wrap the pipe with insulating layer and then secure it with adhesive tape. 

Fig. 10 

10 

Sayfa 15

4.3.4 Indoor Pipe Connection 

(1) 
Remove pipe cover and pipe plug. 

(2) 
Direct the flared part of copper pipe to the center of screwed joint. Twist on the flared nut 

tightly by hand, as in Fig.13 (Make sure indoor pipe is correctly connected. Improper 

location of the center will prevent flared nut from being securely twisted. Thread of nut will 

get damaged if the flared nut is twisted forcibly). 

(3) 
Use torque wrench to twist on the flared nut tightly until the wrench gives out a click sound 

(Hold the handle of wrench and make it at right angle to the pipe. as in Fig.14). 

(4) 
Use sponge to wrap the un-insulated connection pipe and joint. Then tie the sponge tightly 

with plastic tape. 

(5) 
Connection pipe should be supported by a bearer rather than the unit. 

(6) 
The bending angle of piping should not be too small; otherwise the piping might have 

cracks. Please use a pipe bender to bend the pipe. 

(7) 
When connecting IDU with connection pipe, do not pull the big and small joints of IDU with 

force in case the capillary tube or other tubes have cracks and cause leakage. 

Fig. 13               Fig. 14 

4.3.5 Outdoor Pipe Connection 

Twist the flared nut on the connection pipe of outdoor valves. Twisting method is the same as for 

indoor pipe connection. 

During engineering installation, the connection pipe inside the unit must be wrapped by insulation 

sleeve. 

Below is the piping diagram of GMV-24WL/C-T(U), GMV-28WL/C-T(U). According to customer 

requirement or space limit, outlet pipe can be installed from the front, right or rear side.

4.3.6 Installation of Y-type Branch 

(1) 
Y-type Branch. 

(2) 
Y-type branch has several pipe sections with different dimension, which facilitates to match 

with various copper pipes. Use pipe cutter to cut in the middle of the pipe section that is of 

proper dimension and remove burrs as well. See Fig.17. 

(3) 
Y-type branch must be installed vertically or horizontally. 

(4) 
Branch shall be isolated by insulating material that can bear 120°C(248°F) or even higher 

temperature. The attached foam of branch cannot be taken as insulating material. 

4.3.7 Thermal Insulation for Pipeline 

(1) 
For multi VRF system, every copper pipe should be labeled so as to avoid misconnection. 

(2) 
At the branch inlet, leave at least 500mm(19-3/4inch) straight pipe section. 

(3) 
Thermal insulation for pipeline. 

1) 
To avoid condensate or water leakage on the connection pipe, the gas pipe and liquid 

pipe must be wrapped with thermal insulating material and adhesive tape for insulation 

from the air. 

2) 
Thermal insulating material shall be able bear the pipe temperature. For heat pump 

unit, liquid pipe should bear 70°C(158°F) or above and gas pipe should bear 

120°C(248°F) or above. For cooling only unit, both liquid pipe and gas pipe should 

bear 70°C (158°F) or above. 

3) 
Example: Polyethylene foam (bear 120°C(248°F) or above); foaming polyethylene 

Fig. 16 

Fig. 17 

12 

Sayfa 17

(bear 100°C(212°F) or above). 

4) 
Joints of indoor and outdoor unit should be wrapped with insulating material and leave 

no gap between pipe and wall. See Fig.18. 

Fig. 18 
5) 
Thermal insulating material of branches should be the same as that of the pipeline. 

The attached foam of branches cannot be taken as insulating material. 

6) 
When wrapping the tape, the later circle should cover half of the former one. Don’t 

wrap the rape too tight, otherwise the insulation effect will be weakened. 

7) 
After wrapping the pipe, apply sealing material to completely seal the hole on the wall. 

4.3.8 Support and Protection of Pipeline 

(1) 
Support should be made for hanging connection pipe. Distance between each support 

cannot be over 1m. 

(2) 
Protection against accidental damage should be made for outdoor pipeline. When pipeline 

exceeds 1m, a pinch board should be added for protection. 

4.4 Vacuum Pumping, Refrigerant Adding 

4.4.1 Vacuum Pumping 

(1) 
Outdoor unit has been charged with refrigerant before delivery. Field-installed connection 

pipe needs to be charged with additional refrigerant. 

(2) 
Confirm whether outdoor liquid and gas valves are closed. 

(3) 
Use vacuum pump to withdraw the air inside indoor unit and connection pipe from the 

outdoor valve, as shown below.

Standby operating for about 1 minute. 

Mist comes from the 
unit 
Under cooling. 
Indoor high humidity air is cooled rapidly. 

When the power supply is connected, there is 
small “dada” sound. 

It is the sound of startup action of electronic 
expansion valve. 
When the system is conducting cooling or 
defrosting, there is continuous “sa——” sound. 

This is the sound of refrigerant flowing inside 
the unit. 
When the system is switching cooling and 
heating modes; during heating operation, the 
unit enters or quits defrosting operation or oil 
return operation, there is “chi——” sound. 

When the system is started or stopped for a 
short time, you can hear the sound of “sa——”; 
you can also hear this sound for a short time 
after the start or stop of the defrosting 
operation. 

When the system is in cooling operation or 
after it stops running, a continuous “sa——” 
sound can be heard 

When the system is running or after it stops 
running, a “creaking” sound can be heard. 

Noise is emitted 

When the system is in heating operation, after 
the indoor unit stops running, the sound like 
running water can be heard. 

This sound can be heard when other indoor 
units are running. This is to prevent oil and 
refrigerant from staying in the indoor unit, and 
to keep a small amount of refrigerant flowing. 
When the unit is running, the operating sound 
of the compressor changes. 

When the indoor unit stops running, a faint “sa
——” sound or “gurgling” sound can be heard. 

This is caused by changes in compressor 
operating frequency. 
During the operation of the unit or after the 
operation is started or stopped, a continuous 
“sa——” sound can be heard. 

When the operating mode of the unit changes, 
the indoor unit and outdoor unit will produce 
“sa——” and "gurgling" sounds.

3 minutes delay. 

This is the sound for direction reversal of 
4-way valve. 

This is the sound produced when the 
refrigerant stops or changes the flow. 

This is the operation sound of drain system. 

This is the sound produced when plastic parts 
such as panels expansion and contraction 
due to temperature changes. 

The unit is melting the frost on the outdoor 
unit, please wait about 10 minutes (due to 
different unit models, the waiting time will 
vary). 

This is the sound produced when the 
refrigerant bypass valve operates. 

This is the sound produced when the 
refrigerant stops or changes flow. 

This is because the outdoor unit is installed 
close to the window or wall, and the sound 
insulation is poor, and the external noise is 
transmitted in. 

Dust in indoor unit is blew out. 

The fan of indoor unit will continue to work for 
20 to 70 seconds to fully use the residual 
cooling or heat of the heat exchanger, and to 
prepare for the next use.

Malfunction 
Reason 

When the selected operation mode of the 
indoor unit conflicts with the operation mode 
of the outdoor unit, after five seconds, the 
indoor unit error indicator flashes or the 
remote controller displays the operation 
conflict, and the indoor unit shuts down. At 
this time, the indoor unit can be converted to 
run with the outdoor unit. The mode can be 
restored to normal without conflict. The 
cooling mode and dry mode do not conflict, 
and the air supply does not conflict with any 
mode.
