Installing procedures
1. Slide the supplied pipe cover
2
over the gas tubing until it is pressed against the
sheet metal inside the unit.
2. Slide the provided pipe cover
3
over the liquid tubing until it is pressed against
the sheet metal inside the unit.
3. Tighten the pipe covers
2
and
3
at the both ends (15 - 20 mm) with the supplied
bands

.
• After connecting the refrigerant piping to the indoor unit, be sure to test the pipe
connections for gas leakage with nitrogen gas. (Check that there is no refrigerant
leakage from the refrigerant piping to the indoor unit.)
Conduct the airtightness test before connecting the outdoor unit stop valve and the
refrigerant pipe.
If the test is conducted after the valve and pipe are connected, gas, which is used
for checking the airtightness, will leak from the stop valve and flow into the outdoor
unit, resulting in abnormal operation.

• When commercially available copper pipes are used, wrap liquid and gas pipes
with commercially available insulation materials (heat-resistant to 100 °C or more,
thickness of 12 mm or more).
• The indoor parts of the drain pipe should be wrapped with polyethylene foam insu-
lation materials (specific gravity of 0.03, thickness of 9 mm or more).
• Apply thin layer of refrigerant oil to pipe and joint seating surface before tightening
flare nut.
• Use two wrenches to tighten piping connections.
• Use leak detector or soapy water to check for gas leaks after connections are com-
pleted.
• Use refrigerant piping insulation provided to insulate indoor unit connections. Insu-
late carefully following shown below.
• Use correct flare nuts meeting the pipe size of the outdoor unit.
