Forming the drain hose and pipe
6. 8.
[Rear piping, Right piping, Bottom piping]
• Install the indoor unit piping in the direction of the wall hole and bind the drain hose
and pipe together with vinyl tape.
• Install the piping so that the drain hose is at the bottom.
• Wrap the pipes of the indoor unit that are visible from the outside with decorative tape.
[For Left rear piping, Left piping]
Interchange the drain cap and the drain hose.
CAUTION
Insert drain hose and drain cap securely. Drain should slope down to avoid water
leakage.
When inserting, be sure not to attach any material besides water. If any other
material is attached, it will cause deterioration and water leakage.
After removing drain hose, be sure not to forget mounting drain cap.
Be sure to
Þ
x the drain hose with tape to the bottom of piping.
Prevent drain water freezing under low temperature environment.
When installing indoor unit’s drain hose outdoors, necessary measure for frost
protection should be taken to prevent drain water freezing.
Under low temperature environment (when outdoor temperature under 0 °C), after
cooling operation is executed, water in the drain hose could be frozen. Once drain
water is frozen, the drain hose will be blocked and water leakage may result at the
indoor unit.
Installation method of Drain cap
Use a hexagonal wrench 4 mm at opposite side to insert
the drain cap, till the drain cap contacts the tip of drain
cock.

Remove the drain cap by pulling
at the projection at the end of the
cap with pliers, etc.
Removal method of drain hose
Remove the screw at the left of drain
hose and pull out drain hose.
Installation method of drain hose
Vertically insert the drain hose toward the
inside, so that the drain
Þ
xture (white) can ac-
curately align with the screw hole around the
drain cock.
After inserting and before replacing, please
reinstall and
Þ
x the removed screws.
•
Please hold around the joint of the drain hose during working.
•
As the screw is inside, be sure to use screwdriver treated with magnet.

• For left piping and left rear piping, align the marks on the wall hook bracket and shape the
connection pipe.
• Bend the connection piping at a bend radius of 70 mm or more and install no more than
35 mm from the wall.
• After passing the indoor piping and drain hose through the wall hole, hang the indoor unit on
the hooks at the top and bottom of the wall hook bracket.

[Installing the indoor unit]
• Hang the indoor unit from the hooks at the top of the wall hook bracket.
• Insert the spacer, etc. between the indoor unit and the wall hook bracket and separate
the bottom of the indoor unit from the wall.

CAUTION
Tighten the
ß
are nuts with a torque wrench using the speci
Þ
ed tightening method. Oth-
erwise, the
ß
are nuts could break after a prolonged period, causing refrigerant to leak
and generate hazardous gas if the refrigerant comes into contact with a
ß
ame.
6.9.1. Flaring
Use special pipe cutter and
ß
are tool exclusive for R410A.
(1) Cut the connection pipe to the necessary length with a pipe cutter.
(2) Hold the pipe downward so that cuttings will not enter the pipe and remove any burrs.
(3) Insert the
ß
are nut (always use the
ß
are nut attached to the indoor unit(s) and outdoor unit
or branch box respectively) onto the pipe and perform the
ß
are processing with a
ß
are
tool. Use the special R410A
ß
are tool, or the conventional
ß
are tool. Leakage of refriger-
ant may result if other
ß
are nuts are used.
(4) Protect the pipes by pinching them or with tape to prevent dust, dirt, or water from
entering the pipes.
