UP configuration.
The vertical DOWN configuration is not permitted.
• There is no limitation on the joint mounting configuration.
• If the diameter of the refrigerant piping selected by the procedures
described is different from the size of the joint, the connecting sec-
tion should be cut with a pipe cutter.
• Branch pipe should be insulated with the insulator in each kit.

• When the number of pipes to be
connected is smaller than the
number of header branches, in-
stall a cap to the unconnected
branches.
