5 Installation
5.3.2
To connect the refrigerant piping to the
outdoor unit
NOTICE
▪ Be sure to use the supplied accessory pipes when
carrying out piping work in the field.
▪ Be sure that the field installed piping does not touch
other pipes, the bottom panel or side panel. Especially
for the bottom and side connection, be sure to protect
the piping with suitable insulation, to prevent it from
coming into contact with the casing.
Connect the stop valves to the field piping using the accessory pipes
supplied with the unit.
The connections to the branch kits are the responsibility of the
installer (field piping).
5.3.3
To connect the multi connection piping kit
NOTICE
Improper installation may lead to malfunction of the

valve counterclockwise.
3 When the stop valve cannot be turned any further, stop turning.
Result: The valve is now open.
To fully open the Ø19.1 mm~Ø25.4 mm stop valve, turn the
hexagonal wrench until a torque between 27 and 33 N•m is
achieved.
Inadequate torque may cause leakage of refrigerant and breakage of
the stop valve cap.
