piping (Fig. 4=4)
1. Remove the flare nut and cap of the indoor unit.
2. Make a flare for the liquid pipe and gas pipe and apply refrigerating
machine oil
(available from your local supplier) to the flare sheet surface.
3. Quickly connect the on site cooling pipes to the unit.
4. Wrap the pipe cover ® that is attached to the gas pipe and make sure that the
connection join is not visible.
5. Wrap the pipe cover of the unit's liquid pipe and make sure that it covers
the
insulation material of the on site liquid pipe.
6. Use the bands that are provided _') to tighten both ends (15-20mm,
19/32 to
25/32 inch) o1 each pipe cover ®.

5.1. Drainage
piping work (Fig. 5-1)
• Use a PVC pipe (I.D. o20mm,
13/16 inch) for drain piping and provide
1/100 or
more downward slope.
• Other PVC pipe sizes are available with the drain adaptor supplied.
• Make sure that there is no water leakage from the connections.
• If the drain pipe passes indoors it must be covered with insulating material (foamed
polyethylene: specific gravity: 0.03, thickness: 9 mm, 23/64 inch or more) available on the
market.
• Do not put the drain piping directly in a drainage ditch where sulphuric gas may be
generated.
• When piping has been completed,
check that water flows from the end of the drain
pipe.

Caution:
The drain
pipe should
be installed
according
to this Installation
Manual to en-
sure correct
drainage.
Thermal
insulation
of the drain pipes
is necessary
to
prevent
condensation.
If the drain
pipes are not properly installed
and insu-
lated, condensation
may drip on the ceiling,
floor or other
possessions.
