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.

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.
