When using conventional (R22) flare tools to flare R410A pipes, the dimension A should
be approximately 0.020 in (0.5 mm) more than indicated in the table (for flaring with
R410A flare tools) to achieve the specified flaring. Use a thickness gauge to measure the
dimension A. It is recommended that a R410A flaring tool is used.

4.3.2. Bending pipes
• If pipes are shaped by hand, be careful not to collapse them.
• Do not bend the pipes in an angle more than 90°.
• When pipes are repeatedly bent or stretched, the material will harden, making it difficult
to bend or stretch them anymore.
• Do not bend or stretch the pipes more than 3 times.
To prevent breaking of the pipe, avoid sharp bends.
If the pipe is bent repeatedly at the same place, it will break.
4.3.3. Pipe connection
When the flare nut is tightened
properly by your hand, hold the
body side coupling with a separate
spanner, then tighten with a torque
wrench. (See the table below for the
flare nut tightening torques.)
CAUTION
Hold the torque wrench at its grip,
keeping it at a right angle with the
pipe, in order to tighten the flare
nut correctly.

4.4. Installing heat insulation

Install the heat insulation material after performing a refrigerant leak check (see the Instal-
lation Manual for the outdoor unit for details).
Coupler heat insulation
• Insulate by the coupler heat insulation (Accessories) around the gas pipe and liquid pipe
of indoor side.
• After installing the coupler heat insulation, wrap both end with vinyl tape so that there is
no gap.
• After affixing the coupler heat insulation, secure it with 2 cable ties (large), one on each
end of the insulation.
• Make sure that the cable ties overlap the heat insulation pipe.

After checking for gas leaks (refer to the Installation Manual of the outdoor unit), per-
form this section.
3/8 (9.1)
Install heat insulation around both the large (gas) and small (liquid) pipes. Failure to do
so may cause water leaks.

5. INSTALLING DRAIN PIPES

3/4 (19.7)
Do not insert the drain piping into the sewer where sulfurous gas occurs. (Heat ex-
change erosion may occur)
Insulate the parts properly so that water will not drip from the connection parts.
Check for proper drainage after the construction by using the visible portion of transpar-
ent drain port and the drain piping final outlet on the body.
Do not apply adhesive agent on the drain port of the body. (Use the attached drain hose
1 (26)
and connect the drain piping)
• Install the drain pipe with downward gradient (1/100 to 1/50) and so there are no rises or
traps in the pipe. Unsmooth draining caused by accumulated water flow in the pipe may
cause clogged drain.
• Use general hard polyvinyl chloride pipe (Ø 3/4 in [I.D.]; Ø 1-1/16 in [O.D.]).
• When the pipe is long, install supporters.
• Do not perform air bleeding. Drainage may be blown out.
• Always heat insulate the indoor side of the drain pipe.
• If it is impossible to have sufficient gradient of pipe, perform drain lift-up.

PROHIBITED:
When lifting up drain:
• Height of inclined pipe should be less than 27 in (700 mm) from the ceiling. A rise dimen-
sion over this range will cause leakage.
• Lift up the pipe vertically at the position of 11 in (300 mm) or less from the unit.
