Connecting the Refrigerant Pipe
Refrigerant Piping
The refrigerant pipe can be connected from the bottom or front of the
outdoor unit. You have to use seamless copper pipe for the piping and check
the length and height difference between indoor and outdoor unit.
You should also check the pipe length after installing the refnet joint.
For maximum allowable pipe length and height difference,
refer to page 15.
Connect the refrigerant pipe to each pipe, tightening the nuts, first manually
and then with a wrench, a spanner applying the following torque.
