• For the rear side piping
1. Rear cover.
N O T E
Remove the rear pipe cover under the rear cover and
remove the stipped part following the slit.
2 Mount the piping cover in order to avoid water entering into the
unit. Seal the holes where pipes and wires are inserted, by
using an insulation (field-supplied).
3 If the field-supplied piping is connected with stop valves
directly, it is recommended to use a tube bender.
4 Check that the stop valves are closed completely before connecting pipes.
5 Connect the field supplied refrigerant pipes to the indoor unit and outdoor unit. Apply the oil thinly at the seat flare nut
and pipe before tightening.
The required tightening torque is as follows:
Pipe Size Tightening Torque (Nm)
Ø 6.35 mm 20
Ø 9.53 mm 40
Ø 12.70 mm 60
Ø 15.88 mm 80
