4.3.3. Pipe connection
Connect the silencer pipe to the small (liquid) pipe.
Centering the pipe against port on the indoor unit, turn the
fl
are nut with your hand.
Be sure that the small pipe is completely installed before connecting the large pipe.

(Accessories)
CAUTION
Be sure to install the pipe against the port on the indoor unit and the outdoor unit
correctly. If the centering is improper, the
fl
are nut cannot tightened smoothly. If the
fl
are nut is forced to turn, the threads will be damaged.
Do not remove the flare nut from the indoor unit pipe until immediately before
connecting the connection pipe.
Do not use mineral oil on
fl
ared part. Prevent mineral oil from getting into the system
as this would reduce the lifetime of the units.
If necessary, cut the silencer pipe and use it.

CAUTION
Hold the torque wrench at its grip, keeping it at a right angle with the pipe, in order to
tighten the
fl
are nut correctly.
When the
fl
are nut is tightened properly by your hand, hold the body side coupling with a
separate spanner, then tighten with a torque wrench.

4.4. Installing heat insulation
CAUTION
After checking for gas leaks (refer to the Installation Manual of the outdoor unit),
perform this section.
Install heat insulation around both the large (gas) and small (liquid) pipes. Failure to
do so may cause water leaks.
After checking for gas leaks, insulate by wrapping insulation around the 2 parts (Gas and
Liquid) of the indoor unit coupling, using the coupler heat insulation.
After installing the coupler heat insulation, wrap both ends with vinyl tape so that there is
no gap.
Secure both ends of the heat insulation material using Cable tie (Large).

5. INSTALLING DRAIN HOSE
]
CAUTION
Install the drain hose in accordance with the instructions in this Installation Manual
and keep the area warm enough to prevent condensation. Problems with the piping
may lead to water leaks.
Use general hard polyvinyl chloride pipe and connect it with adhesive (polyvinyl chloride)
so that there is no leakage.
Always heat insulate the indoor side of the drain hose.
Use a drain pipe that matches the size of the drain hose.
• Do not perform a rise, trap and air bleeding.
• Provide a downward gradient (1/100 or more).
• Provide supporters when long pipes are installed.
• Use an insulation material as needed, to prevent the pipes from freezing.
• Install the pipes in a way that allows for the removal of the control box.
