2-5. PIPE CONNECTION
*
Fasten flare nut with a torque wrench as specified in the table (refer to 2-4.).
«
When fastened too tight, flare nut may eventually break and cause refrigerant leakage.
Indoor unit connection
Connect both liquid and gas pipings to indoor unit.
¢
Apply a
thin coat of refrigerant oil (J) on the seat surface of pipe.
«
To connect, first align the center, then tighten the first 3 to 4 turns of flare nut.
¢
Use tightening torque table above as a guideline for indoor unit side joints, and tighten using two wrenches.
Excessive
tightening damages the flare section.
Outdoor unit connection
Connect pipes to stop valve pipe joint of the outdoor unit following the same procedure detailed in Indoor unit connection.
*
For tightening, use a torque wrench or spanner.
A WARNING
When
installing the unit, securely connect the refrigerant
pipes before starting the compressor.
2-6. INSULATION AND TAPING
1) Cover piping joints with pipe cover.
2) For outdoor unit side, insulate the piping, including valves.
3) Apply piping tape (G) starting from the connection on the outdoor unit.
« When
piping has to be installed through a ceiling, closet or where the temperature and humidity are high, use additional field-supplied insulation to prevent
condensation.

Be sure to insulate the connecting pipes and place them near the rear of the indoor unit so that they do not contact the front panel.
*
Be careful not to crush the connecting pipes when bending them.
Cut and use the lower side panels on the left and right sides of the indoor unit as shown
below.
Smooth the cut edges of the side panels so that they will not damage the insulation coating.
