Indoor unit
1) When using commercially available copper pipes:
• Apply thin layer of refrigerant oil to pipe and joint seating surface before tightening
flare nut.
• Use two wrenches to tighten piping connections.
• Air-purge the refrigerant piping using your own refrigerant gas (don't air-purge the
refrigerant charged in the outdoor unit).
• Use leak detector or soapy water to check for gas leaks after connections are
completed.
• Use refrigerant piping insulation provided to insulate indoor unit connections. Insulate
carefully following shown below.
2) Heat insulation for refrigerant pipes:
1 Wrap the enclosed large-sized pipe cover around the gas pipe, making sure that
the end of the pipe cover touches the side of the unit.
2 Wrap the enclosed small-sized pipe cover around the liquid pipe, making sure that
the end of the pipe cover touches the side of the unit.
3 Secure both ends of each pipe cover with the enclosed bands. (Attach the bands
20 mm from the ends of the pipe cover.)
See that stop valve on outdoor unit is fully shut (unit is shipped with valve shut).
After all piping connections between indoor and outdoor unit have been completed,
vacuum-purge air from system through the service port for the stop valve on the
outdoor unit.
After completing procedures above, open outdoor unit stop valves stem fully. This
completes connection of refrigerant circuit between indoor and outdoor units. Stop
valve instructions are marked on outdoor unit.
• Apply a thin coat of refrigeration oil on the seat surface of pipe. (Fig. 5-9)
• For connection first align the center, then tighten the first 3 to 4 turns of flare nut.
• Use tightening torque table below as a guideline for indoor unit side union joint
section, and tighten using two wrenches. Excessive tightening damages the flare
section.

Warning:
Be careful of flying flare nut! (Internally pressurized)
Remove the flare nut as follows:
1. Loosen the nut until you hear a hissing noise.
2. Do not remove the nut until the gas has been completely released (i.e., hiss-
ing noise stops).
3. Check that the gas has been completely released, and then remove the
nut.
6.1. Drainage piping work (Fig. 6-1)
• Use VP25 (O. D. ø32 PVC TUBE) for drain piping and provide 1/100 or more
downward slope.
• Be sure to connect the piping joints using a polyvinyl type adhesive.
• Observe the figure for piping work.
• Use the included drain hose to change the extraction direction.
