mm (inch)
• When commercially available copper pipes are used, wrap liquid and gas pipes
with commercially available insulation materials (heat-resistant to 100 °C, 212 °F
or more, thickness of 12 mm, 1/2 inch 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.
Insulate carefully.
• Do not apply refrigerating machine oil to the screw portions.
(This will make the flare nuts more apt to loosen.)
• Use flare nut installed to this indoor unit.
Warning:
When installing the unit, securely connect the refrigerant pipes before
starting the compressor.
