NOTICE
Precautions when making knockout holes:
▪ Avoid damaging the casing.
▪ After making the knockout holes, we recommend you
remove the burrs and paint the edges and areas
around the edges using repair paint to prevent rusting.
▪ When passing electrical wiring through the knockout
holes, wrap the wiring with protective tape to prevent
damage.

To connect the refrigerant piping to the
outdoor unit
NOTICE
▪ Be sure to use the supplied accessory pipes when
carrying out piping work in the field.
▪ Be sure that the field installed piping does not touch
other pipes, the bottom panel or side panel. Especially
for the bottom and side connection, be sure to protect
the piping with suitable insulation, to prevent it from
coming into contact with the casing.
Connect the stop valves to the field piping using the accessory pipes
supplied with the unit.
The connections to the branch kits are the responsibility of the
installer (field piping).
14.2.3
To connect the multi connection piping kit
NOTICE
Improper installation may lead to malfunction of the

▪ Install the joints horizontally, so that the caution label (a) attached
to the joint comes to the top.
▪ Do not tilt the joint more than 7.5° (see view A).
▪ Do not install the joint vertically (see view B).

is absolute straight for more than 500 mm. Only if a straight field
piping of more than 120 mm is connected, more than 500 mm of
straight section can be ensured.

To protect against contamination
Seal the piping and wiring intake holes using sealing material (field
supply), otherwise the capacity of the unit will drop and small
animals may enter the machine.
14.2.6
Using the stop valve and service port
To handle the stop valve
Take the following guidelines into account:
▪ Make sure to keep all stop valves open during operation.
▪ The gas and liquid stop valves are factory closed.
▪ Do NOT apply excessive force to the stop valve. Doing so may
break the valve body.
