4.1. Connecting pipes (Fig. 4-1)
• When commercially available copper pipes are used, wrap liquid and gas pipes
with commercially available insulation materials (heat-resistant to 100 °C or more,
thickness of 12 mm or more).
• The indoor parts of the drain pipe should be wrapped with polyethylene foam insu-
lation materials (specific gravity of 0.03, thickness of 9 mm or more).
• Apply thin layer of refrigerant oil to pipe and joint seating surface before tightening
flare nut.
• Use two wrenches to tighten piping connections.
• Use refrigerant piping insulation provided to insulate indoor unit connections. Insu-
late carefully.

*1: The flare nut is attached to its pipe.
*2: The flare nut is in the outdoor unit accessory.
Do not use the flare nut attached. If it is used, a gas leakage or even a pipe
extraction may occur.
Refer to the outdoor unit installation manual for the specification of connecting pipes.

5.1. Preparation for left side tubing installation (Fig. 5-1)
• For left side tubing, be sure to insert the rubber plug into the right drain port.
• Install the drain tubing as it slopes continuously downward.
• After completion of work, check that correct drain is available from the outflow port
of the drain tubing.
