Left or left-rear piping

Note:

Be sure to reattach the drain 
hose and the drain cap in case 
of left or left-rear piping.
Otherwise, it could cause drops 
of water to drip down from the 
drain hose.

1) Put the refrigerant piping and the drain hose together, 

WKHQ¿UPO\DSSO\IHOWWDSHIURPWKHHQG

Felt tape (7) overlap width should be 1/3 the tape 

width. Use a bandage stopper at the end of felt tape (7).

2) Pull out the drain cap at the rear right of the indoor unit.

drain cap.

3) Pull out the drain hose at the rear left of the indoor unit. 

(Fig. 2)
• Hold the claw marked by the arrows and pull out the 

drain hose forward.

4) Put the drain cap into the section to which the drain 

hose is to be attached at the rear of the indoor unit. 
(Fig. 3)
• Insert not sharp-edged tools such as screwdrivers 

into the hole at the end of the cap and insert the cap 
fully into the drain pan.

5) Insert the drain hose fully into the drain pan at the rear 

right of the indoor unit. (Fig. 4)
• Check if the hose is hooked securely to the projec-

tion of its inserting part at the drain pan.

6) Insert the drain hose into wall hole sleeve (C), and 

hook the upper part of indoor unit on installation plate 
(1). Then, move the indoor unit completely to the left in 
order to make placing the piping in the back space of 
the unit easier.

it up, hook it onto the back rib, and use it as a spacer 
to lift the indoor unit. (Fig. 5)

9) Thrust the lower part of the indoor unit into the installation plate (1).

3-1. CONNECTING WIRES FOR OUTDOOR UNIT

1) Open the service panel.
2) Loosen terminal screw, and connect indoor/outdoor unit connecting wire (A) from 

WKHLQGRRUXQLWFRUUHFWO\RQWKHWHUPLQDOEORFN%HFDUHIXOQRWWRPDNHPLVZLULQJ)L[

the wire to the terminal block securely so that no part of its core is appeared, and no

clamp.

6) Close the service panel securely.

3-2. FLARING WORK

1) Cut the copper pipe correctly with pipe cutter. 

(Fig. 1, 2)

2) Completely remove all burrs from the cut cross sec-

tion of pipe. (Fig. 3)
• Put the end of the copper pipe to downward direc-

tion as you remove burrs in order to avoid to let 
burrs drop in the piping.

3) Remove flare nuts attached to indoor and outdoor 

units, then put them on pipe having completed burr 
removal. (Not possible to put them on after flaring 
work.)

4) Flaring work (Fig. 4, 5). Firmly hold copper pipe in 

the dimension shown in the table. Select A mm from 
the table according to the tool you use.

5) Check

Indoor unit connection

Connect both liquid and gas pipings to indoor unit.
• Apply a thin coat of refrigeration oil (J) on the seat surface of pipe.

• Use tightening torque table below as a guideline for indoor unit side union joint section, 

DQGWLJKWHQXVLQJWZRZUHQFKHV([FHVVLYHWLJKWHQLQJGDPDJHVWKHÀDUHVHFWLRQ

Outdoor unit connection

Connect pipes to stop valve pipe joint of the outdoor unit in the 
same manner applied for indoor unit.
• For tightening, use a torque wrench or spanner and use the 

same tightening torque applied for indoor unit.

3-4. INSULATION AND TAPING

1) Cover piping joints with pipe cover.
2) For outdoor unit side, surely insulate every piping including 

valves.

3) Using piping tape (G), apply taping starting from the entry of outdoor unit.

• Stop the end of piping tape (G) with tape (with adhesive agent attached).
• When piping have to be arranged through above ceiling, closet or where the tempera-

ture and humidity are high, wind additional commercially sold insulation to prevent 
condensation.

Rear, right, or downward piping

1) Put the refrigerant piping and the drain hose 

together, then firmly apply piping tape (G) 
from the end.

2) Insert the piping and the drain hose into the 

wall hole sleeve (C), and hook the upper part 
of the indoor unit on the installation plate (1).

3) Check if the indoor unit is hooked securely on the installation plate (1) by moving 

the unit to left and right.

4) Thrust the lower part of the indoor unit into the installation plate (1).

• If the drain hose provided with the indoor unit is too short, connect it with drain hose (I) 

that should be provided at your site. (Fig. 2)

• When connecting the drain hose to the hard vinyl chloride pipe, be sure to insert it 

securely into the pipe. (Fig. 3)
