STEP 3: DRILL WALL HOLE FOR CONNECTIVE PIPING
You must drill a hole in the wall for refrigerant piping, the drainage pipe, and the signal cable that will connect
the indoor and outdoor units.

Determine the location of the wall hole based on the position of the mounting plate. Refer to Mounting
Plate Dimensions on the next page to help you determine the optimal position. The wall hole should have a
65mm (2.5in) diameter at least, and at a slightly lower angle to
facilitate drainage.

Using a 65-mm (2.5in) core drill, drill a hole in the wall. Make sure that
the hole is drilled at a slight downward angle, so that the outdoor end
of the hole is lower than the indoor end by about 5mm to 7mm (0.2-
0.275in). This will ensure proper water drainage.

Place the protective wall cuff in the hole. This protects the edges of the hole and will help seal it when you
finish the installation process.
CAUTION: When drilling the wall hole, make sure to avoid wires, plumbing, and other sensitive
components.
MOUNTING PLATE DIMENSIONS
Different models have different mounting plates. In order to ensure that you have ample room to mount the
indoor unit, the diagrams to the right show different types of mounting plates along with the following
dimensions:
• Width of mounting plate
• Height of mounting plate
• Width of indoor unit relative to plate
• Height of indoor unit relative to plate
• Recommended position of wall hole (both to the left and right of mounting plate)
• Relative distances between screw holes
