Piping Installation When Piping is on the Right Side
See the Electrical System Installation section for information on how to
connect the communication / connection (power) wiring from the outdoor
unit.
1. Insert drain hose (feature could differ depending on model of
indoor unit).
2. Align the center of the refrigerant piping and corresponding con-
nection as shown on the “Connecting the Indoor Unit Refrigerant
Piping Page”.
3. Place a couple of drops of refrigerant oil on outside of the flare
before assembling.
Do not add any contaminants. Tighten
the flare nut initially by hand.
4. Finish tightening the flare nut with a torque wrench until the
