Refrigerant Piping Connection
This product contains refrigerant and
requires the installation of refrigerant-
bearing components. The refrigerant is
under pressure, and if not handled
properly, can cause bodily injury. If you are
uncertain of your mechanical abilities, we
strongly recommend qualified HVAC
professionals complete the installation.
Electrical work must be completed by a
qualified electrician.
Connecting the refrigerant pipe to
outdoor unit
CAUTION: For your safety, always wear
goggles and work gloves when connecting
the pipes.
1. First remove the water tray on the
outdoor unit as shown below.
2. Do not remove the plastic seals from the
outdoor unit and the appropriate
refrigerant pipes immediately until before
you connect them.
3. Align the refrigerant pipes correctly so
that they line up with the valves and are
not stressed. Place the screw connector
on the refrigerant line just on to the thread
on the outdoor unit and tighten the first few
threads by hand.
NOTE: The refrigerant pipes must be
connected to the valves on the outdoor unit
with as little stress as possible.
IMPORTANT: Before you continue, it is
essential that you read the following
instructions carefully.

to the dimensions of the connector)
Ensure that the screw connectors do not
cross-thread as you tighten them and work
quickly. See the next page for the proper
torque.
IMPORTANT: Since the coupling works
with tapping rings, it may leak if you undo
and reconnect the pipes. This will also void
the warranty.
