When on-site piping with joint such as elbow, socket is
buried, provide a service access door to facilitate the check
for connecting part.
7
Perform to support for earthquake resistant to the pipes in
order not to damage by an external force.
8
Do not clamp tightly the refrigerant pipe when supporting for
prevention of heat stress.
9
Do not touch the refrigerant pipes to low strength portions
of walls or ceilings. If not, it may cause abnormal sound or
vibration.
10
Perform the air tight test. The air tight procedures should be
performed according to Installation and Operation Manual of
the outdoor unit.
11
Insulate each flare connection without gap to prevent of dew
condensation by using the accessory thermal insulation pipe.
Additionally, insulate field gas and liquid pipings by using
field-supplied thermal insulations.

Do not apply excessive force to the flare nut when tightening. If applied,
the flare nut may crack due to aged degradation and refrigerant leakage
may occur. Use the specified tightening torque.

If using a forming agent (recommended Gupoflex) after
installing the air panel, avoid touching the forming agent to
the air panel. If the forming agent is touched to the air panel,
it may cause the breakage and the falling of the air panel. In
this case, completely wipe off the touched forming agent.

• Cap the end of the pipe when the pipe is to be inserted through a hole.
• Cap the end of the pipe to avoid rain or water entering.
• Do not put pipes on the ground directly without a cap or vinyl tape at
the end of the pipe.
