in 4 locations) and washers (for 3/8 in.(M8), outside
diameter of 15/16 in. (24 mm) to 1-1/8 in. (28 mm) or for
7/16 in.(M10), outside diameter of 1-3/16 in. (30 mm) to

brackets on both sides of the unit to secure it in place.
2) Adjust the height of the unit as desired.
3) Using a level, verify that the unit has been installed in a

WARNING
• Install the Branch Selector unit in a level orientation. (The unit is not designed for vertical installations.
Doing so will lead to system damage.)
• Attach nuts on both the top and bottom of the hanger brackets.
Overtightening the lower nut without the upper nut in place may cause the hanger bracket and top
plate to deform, causing the unit to produce abnormal noise.
5 . REFRIGERANT PIPING WORK
• For instructions for installing piping between the outdoor unit and the Branch Selector unit, selecting a
refrigerant branch kit, and installing piping between the refrigerant branch kit and indoor units, refer to
the installation manual included with the outdoor unit.
• Before beginning the work, be sure to verify that the type of refrigerant used is R410A.
(The unit will not operate correctly with a different type of refrigerant.)
• Field installed insulation must comply with applicable codes.
5-1 Pipe size selection

and between the Branch Selector unit and indoor units (refrigerant branch kits) and between Branch
