7.1 Note on pipe length
The length of refrigerant piping will affect the performance and energy efficiency of the unit. Nominal
efficiency is tested on units with a pipe length of 5 meters (16.5ft).
Refer to the table below for specifications on the maximum length and drop height of piping.

7.2 Connection instructions – refrigerant piping
Step 1: Cut pipes
When preparing refrigerant pipes, take extra care to cut and flare them properly. This will ensure
efficient operation and minimize the need for future maintenance.
1. Measure the distance between the indoor and outdoor units.
2. Using a pipe cutter, cut the pipe a little longer than the measured distance.
3. Make sure that the pipe is cut at a perfect 90° angle. Refer to Fig. 7.1 for bad cut examples.
