Refrigerant piping
1. Use the following items for the refrigerant
piping.
Material : Seamless phosphorous deoxidized
copper pipe.
Dia.6.35, Dia.9.52, Dia.12.7 Wall thickness 0.8
mm or more
Dia.15.88 Wall thickness 1.0 mm or more
Do not use any copper pipes with a wall
thickness less than these thicknesses.
Removing service panel <GP80>
• Remove the screws at 3 locations and slide the
service panel down. Next, detach the right-side
claws followed by left-side claws to remove the
service panel.
When doing this, pulling the service panel towards
the front could damage the claws.
When attaching the service panel, attach the left
claws followed by the right claws and lift the service
panel upwards and secure it with screws in the
3 locations.

Knockout of pipe cover <GP80>
Knockout procedure
• The indoor/outdoor connecting pipes can be
connected in 4 directions.
Take off the knockout part of the pipe cover through
which pipes or wires will pass through the base plate.
• Detach the pipe cover and tap on the knockout
section a few times with the shank of a screwdriver.
A knockout hole can easily be punched.
• After punching out the knockout hole, remove burrs
from the hole and then install the supplied protective
bush and guard material around the passage hole to
protect wires and pipes.
Be sure to attach the pipe covers after pipes have
been connected. Cut the slits under the pipe covers
to facilitate the installation.
After connecting the pipes, be sure to mount the pipe
cover. The pipe cover is easily mounted by cutting off
the slit at the lower part of the pipe cover.
* Be sure to wear heavy work gloves while working.

Piping connection
Flaring
1. Cut the pipe with a pipe cutter.
Be sure to remove burrs that may cause a gas leak.
2. Insert a flare nut into the pipe, and then flare the
pipe.
Use the flare nuts supplied with the air conditioner or
those for R32.
Insert a flare nut into the pipe, and flare the pipe.
Use the flare nuts supplied with the air conditioner or
flare nuts for R32 or R410A.
However, the conventional tools can be used by
adjusting the projection margin of the copper pipe.
