5.2. Confirming the unit’s position and fix-
ing hanging bolts
‹
Use the gage supplied with the panel to confirm that the unit body and
hanging bolts are positioned in place. If they are not positioned in
place, it may result in dew drops due to wind leak. Be sure to check the
positional relationship.
‹
Use a level to check that the surface indicated by is at level. Ensure
that the hanging bolt nuts are tightened to fix the hanging bolts.
‹
To ensure that drain is discharged, be sure to hang the unit at level
using a level.
Caution:
Be sure to install the unit body at level.

6. Refrigerant pipe and drain pipe specifications
To avoid dew drops, provide sufficient antisweating and insulating work to the
refrigerant and drain pipes.
W hen using commercially available refrigerant pipes, be sure to wind commer-
cially available insulating material (with a heat-resisting temperature of more than
100 °C [212 °F] and thickness given below) onto both liquid and gas pipes.
Be also sure to wind commercially available insulating material (with a form poly-
ethylene’s specific gravity of 0.03 and thickness given below) onto all pipes which
pass through rooms.
A
Select the thickness of insulating material by pipe size.
B
If the unit is used on the highest story of a building and under conditions of
high temperature and humidity, it is necessary to use pipe size and insulating
material’s thickness more than those given in the table above.
C
If there are customer’s specifications, simply follow them.

Mount the provided pipe insu-
lation (1) on the liquid pipe of
the refrigerant piping, and
then mount the flare insula-
tion (2) on the gas pipe. “INNER” and “OUTER” are marked on the
inside of the flare insulation. Mount the por-
tion marked “INNER” near the unit body and
the portion marked “OUTER” on the field pip-
ing side. • Using the flare insulation of a different model may
result in condensation forming. Check the model name
on the insulation and be sure to use the correct one.
• To prevent a gap from forming near the unit’s side
plate, be sure that the flare insulation firmly contacts
the unit’s side plate before mounting.
• Incorrectly mounting the “INNER” and “OUTER” sides
of the insulation may result in condensation forming.

Fixing of insulated pipe • Fasten the insulated pipe with the insula-
tion tape.
• Firmly secure the insulation with the pro-
vided tie band (4) at the position indicated
on the drawing.
Seal the slit securely so that there are no openings. Be
sure to mount the insulation so that the slit is on the top. [Fig. 6.3.3] (P.4)
