To provide drainage
NOTICE
If the unit is installed in a cold climate, take adequate
measures so that the evacuated condensate CANNOT
freeze.
NOTICE
If the drain holes of the outdoor unit are blocked up by a
mounting base or floor surface, place additional foot bases
≤30 mm under the outdoor unit's feet.
INFORMATION
For information on the available options, contact your
dealer.

Preparing refrigerant piping
5.1.1
Refrigerant piping requirements
CAUTION
Piping and joints of a split system shall be made with
permanent joints when inside an occupied space except
joints directly connecting the piping to the indoor units.
NOTICE
The piping and other pressure-containing parts shall be
suitable for refrigerant. Use phosphoric acid deoxidised
seamless copper for refrigerant.
▪ Foreign materials inside pipes (including oils for fabrication) must
be ≤30 mg/10 m.

plate), larger piping thickness might be required.
5.1.2
Refrigerant piping insulation
▪ Use polyethylene foam as insulation material:
▪ with a heat transfer rate between 0.041 and 0.052 W/mK (0.035
and 0.045 kcal/mh°C)
▪ with a heat resistance of at least 120°C
