FLARED CONNECTIONS
• This unit has flared connections on both indoor and outdoor sides.
• Refrigerant pipes are used to connect the indoor and outdoor units as shown in the figure below.
• Insulate both refrigerant and drain piping completely to prevent condensation.
Limits

• Refrigerant adjustment … If pipe length exceeds 7 m, additional refrigerant (R410A) charge is required.
(The outdoor unit is charged with refrigerant for 7 m pipe length.)

• Use a copper pipe or a copper-alloy seamless pipe with a thickness of 0.8 mm (for ø6.35) or 1.0 mm (for
ø15.88). Never use any pipe with a thickness less than 0.8 mm (for ø6.35) or 1.0 mm (for ø15.88), as the
pressure resistance is insufficient.
2
Ensure that the 2 refrigerant pipes are well insulated to prevent condensation.
3
Refrigerant pipe bending radius must be 100 mm or more.
Caution:
Be sure to use the insulation of specified thickness. Excessive thickness may cause incorrect installa-
tion of the indoor unit and lack of thickness may cause dew drippage.

Attention:
Surrounding temperature and humidity conditions
may cause paper pattern to shrink or expand.
(Measure dimensions before drilling holes.)
2. Suspension structure (Give site of suspension strong struc-
ture).
■
Wood structure
• Select tie beam (one-story houses) or second-floor
girder (two story houses) as reinforcement member.
• Use sturdy beams of at least 60 mm square for beam
pitch of 900 mm or less or of at least 90 mm square for
beam pitch of 900-1800 mm.
