Connection sockets (included as a factory-supplied accessory with the
indoor units) will need to be used when piping the indoor units to the out-
door unit. See tables above and below for indoor unit piping connection
and connection socket dimensions. If a 36K indoor unit is included, the
connection sockets are included with the Branch Distribution unit.

Avoid Pipe Damage
• When routing field-provided piping,
avoid damaging the outdoor unit from excessive
vibration.
• Properly insulate the liquid and gas lines separately up to the point of connection at the
unit frame.
