(5) When hanging the indoor unit main body, be sure to
use a level or a plastic tube with water in it to make sure
the drain piping is set either level or slightly tilted, in
order to ensure proper drainage.
(Refer to Fig. 12)
A.When the drain piping is tilted to the right, or to the right
and back.
Place it level, or tilt it slightly to the right or the back. (1° or less.)
B.When the drain piping is tilted to the left, or to the left and
back.
Place it level, or tilt it slightly to the left or the back. (1° or less.)
CAUTION
• Setting the unit at an angle opposite to the drain piping might
cause a water leakage.

REFRIGERANT PIPING WORK
DANGER
• Refrigerant gas may produce toxic gas if it comes in contact
with fire such as from a fan, heater, stove or cooking device.
Exposure to this gas could result in severe injury or death.
CAUTION
• Use a pipe cutter and flare suitable for the type of refrigerant.
• To prevent dust, moisture or other foreign matter from infil-
trating the tube, either pinch the end or cover it with tape.
• Do not allow anything other than the designated refrigerant to
get mixed into the refrigerant circuit, such as air, etc. If any
refrigerant gas leaks while working on the unit, ventilate the
room thoroughly right away.
6-1 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
• For refrigerant pipe of outdoor units, see the installation
manual attached to the outdoor unit.
• Execute thermal insulation work completely on both
sides of the gas pipe and the liquid pipe.
Otherwise, a water leakage can result sometimes.
(The temperature of the gas pipe can reach up to
approximately 250°F, so use insulation pipe cover
which is sufficiently resistant.)
• Also, in cases where the temperature and humidity of
the refrigerant pipe sections might exceed 86°F or RH
80%, reinforce the thermal insulation. (3/4 in. or thicker)
Condensate may form on the surface of the insulation
pipe cover.
• Before refrigerant pipe work, check which type of refrig-
erant is used.
Proper operation is not possible if the types of refriger-
ant are not the same.
6-2 CONNECTING THE REFRIGERANT PIPE
• The outdoor unit is charged with refrigerant.
• Use copper alloy seamless pipes.
• Be sure to use both a spanner and torque wrench together,
as shown in the drawing, when connecting or disconnecting
pipes to/from the unit.
(Refer to Fig. 13)
• Refer to “Table 2” to determine the proper tightening torque.
• Refer to “Table 2” for the dimensions of flare shape.
• When connecting the flare nut, coat the flare section (both
inside and outside) with ester oil or ether oil, rotate three or
four times first, then screw in.
(Refer to Fig. 14)
CAUTION
• Be careful for oil not to adhere to any portions other than a
flare part. If oil adhere to resin parts etc., there is a possibility
of damaging by deterioration.
NOTE
• Use the flare nut included with the unit main body.
Table 2
CAUTION
• Overtightening may damage the flare and cause a refrigerant
leakage.
