Refrigerant pipes of 10, 16, 23, 33 and 49 ft. are available as optional items.

 CAUTION

Be sure to use the insulation of specified thickness. Excessive thickness may
cause incorrect installation of the indoor unit and lack of thickness may cause
dew drippage.

Be careful the
drain hose is not
raised.

Separate the 2 connecting pipes and
apply insulation individually.

5/16 in. thickness thermal insulation
plastic.

Decide the installation position using mark on the installation plate
indicating the indoor unit size as reference.

When the piping is to be attached to a
wall containing metals (tin plated) or
metal netting, use a chemically treated
wooden piece 13/16 in. or thicker
between the wall and the piping or
wrap 7 to 8 turns of insulation vinyl
tape around the piping.

Lock the catch.
