The center of installation plate should be at more than 1 at
right and left of the wall.
The distance from installation plate edge to ceiling should be
more than 2.
From installation plate center to unit's left side is 3.
From installation plate center to unit's right side is 4.
For left side piping, piping connection for liquid should be about
5 from this line.
For left side piping, piping connection for gas should be about
6 from this line.
(1) Mount the installation plate on the wall with 5 screws or
more (at least 5 screws).
(If mounting the unit on the concrete wall, consider using
anchor bolts.)
● Always mount the installation plate horizontally by
aligning the marking-off line with the thread and using a
level gauge.
(2) Drill the piping plate hole with ø70 mm hole-core drill.
● Putting measuring tape at position as shown in the
diagram above.
The hole center is obtained by measuring the distance
namely 128 mm for left and right hole respectively.
Another method is intersection point of arrow mark
extension.
The meeting point of the extension arrow mark is the
hole center position.
● Drill the piping hole at either the right or the left and
the hole should be slightly slanting to the outdoor side.
(Refer to Section 3-3. "To Drill a Hole in the Wall and
Install a Piping sleeve".)

(3) Double check with a carpenter's level or tape measure
that the panel is level. This is important to install the unit
properly. (Fig. 3-3)
CAUTION
Also avoid areas where electrical wiring or conduits are
located.
The above precautions are also applicable if tubing goes
through the wall in any other location.
(4) Using a sabre saw, keyhole saw or hole-cutting drill
attachment, cut a hole in the wall. (Fig. 3-4)

3-3. To Drill a Hole in the Wall and Install a Piping
sleeve
(1) Insert the piping sleeve to the hole.
(2) Fix the bushing to the sleeve.
(3) Cut the sleeve until it extrudes about 15 mm from the wall.
CAUTION
When the wall is hollow, please be sure to use the Piping
sleeve assembly to prevent dangers caused by mice biting the
connection cable.
(4) Finish by sealing the sleeve with putty or caulking
compound at the final stage.
