When using the extension pipe, refer to the
tables below.
● When refrigerant pipe diameter is different
from that of outdoor unit union (for 18K indoor
unit), additional transfer connector needs to
be used on outdoor unit union.

6.4 Installation for the first time

Air and moisture in the refrigerant system have
undesirable effects as below:
● Pressure in the system rises.
● Operating current rises.
● Cooling or heating efficiency drops.
● Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze
and block capillary tubing.
● Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the
refrigerant system.
Therefore, the indoor units and the pipes
between indoor and outdoor units must be leak
tested and evacuated to remove gas and
moisture from the system.
Gas leak check (Soap water method):
Apply soap water or a liquid neutral
detergent on the indoor unit connections or
outdoor unit connections by a soft brush to check
for leakage of the connecting points of the piping.
If bubbles come out, the pipes have leakage.
