What type of refrigerant line connections may be used on multisplit systems?

Multisplit systems utilize a variety of methods for refrigerant line connections to ensure efficient and reliable operation. Both flare and solder connections are commonly used in these systems.

Flare connections are widely accepted in HVAC applications because they provide excellent sealing properties and can handle high pressures, ensuring that the refrigerant remains contained within the lines. These connections are also straightforward to install and repair, making them a popular choice for refrigerant lines.

Solder connections, on the other hand, are used depending on the installation requirements and preferences. They create a permanent, leak-proof joint but require more skill and time to install compared to flare connections.

By including both flare and solder connections as acceptable methods, multisplit systems have flexibility during installation. Each method has its context where it is advantageous, allowing technicians to choose based on the specific situation, materials, and tools available. This versatility enhances the effectiveness of the refrigerant system overall and is critical for ensuring safety and efficiency.
