Abstract

A connecting apparatus for installing an air conditioner comprises a first connecting port connected to a refrigerant charge port of a pipe connecting valve body provided in an outdoor unit of the air conditioner, and a second connecting port connected to a replacing gas charging container for installing the air conditioner, replacing gas in the replacing gas charging container being allowed to flow from the refrigerant charge port, wherein the first connecting port includes a first connecting portion capable of being connected to the refrigerant charge port, the second connecting port includes a second connecting portion capable of being connected to the replacing gas charging container, the refrigerant charge port is opened by connecting the first connecting port and the refrigerant charge port to each other by the first connecting portion, and the refrigerant charge port is opened by connecting the second connecting portion and the replacing gas charging container to each other by the second connecting portion. With this structure, after air in the indoor unit heat exchanger or the connecting pipe is once replaced by the replacing gas, the replacing gas can easily be collected.
