Outdoor Unit 

Installation

When Selecting a 24K Indoor Unit

The 24K indoor unit can only be connected with an

A system. If there are two 24K indoor units, they 

can be connected with an A and B  system 

(see Fig. 6.9).

NOTE: 

The minimum distance between the 

 

outdoor unit and walls described in the 

installation guide does not apply to airtight 

rooms. Be sure to keep the unit unobstructed 

in at least two of the three directions

(M, N, and P) (see Fig. 6.7).

Drain Joint Installation

Before bolting the outdoor unit  in place, install

the drain joint at the bottom of the unit. 

(See Fig. 6.8) 

1. Fit the rubber seal on the end of the drain  

joint that will connect to the outdoor unit. 

2. Insert the drain joint into the hole in the 

base pan of the unit. 

3. Rotate the drain joint 90° until it clicks in 

place facing the front of the unit. 

4. Connect a drain hose extension (not  

included) to the drain joint to redirect water 

from the unit during heating mode.  

NOTE: 

Make sure the water drains to a safe 

location where it will not cause water damage 

or a slipping hazard.

Notes on Drilling the Hole in the Wall

You must drill a hole in the wall for the  

refrigerant piping and the signal cable that will 

connect the indoor and outdoor units.  

1. 

 

Determine the location of the wall hole 

based on the location of the outdoor unit.  

2. 

 

Using a 2.5” (65 mm) core drill, drill a hole 

in the wall.  

NOTE: 

When drilling the wall hole, make 

sure to avoid wires, plumbing, and other 

sensitive components. 

 

3. 

 

Place the protective wall cuff in the hole. 

This will protect the edges of the hole and will 

help seal it when you finish the installation 

process.
