Specify the pipe diameter in advance to allow for adding another unit.

7 REFRIGERANT PIPING
WARNING
• If the refrigerant gas leaks during installation, ventilate the room.
If the leaked refrigerant gas comes into contact with fire, noxious gas may be generated.
• After installation, check that the refrigerant gas does not leak.
If the refrigerant gas leaks into the room and comes into contact with fire such as a fan heater, stove, or kitchen range,
noxious gas may be generated.
 Connection of refrigerant pipe
• The refrigerant pipe connecting section is set in the
outdoor unit. Remove the front panel and the piping/
wiring panel. (M5: 9 pcs.)
• As shown in the illustration on the right, the hooks are
at the right and left sides of the front panel. Lift up and
remove the front panel.
• Pipes can be drawn out forward or downward from the
outdoor unit.
• When drawing out the pipe forward, draw it out to the
outside via the piping/wiring panel, and leave a space
of 500mm or more from the main pipe connecting the
outdoor unit with the indoor unit, considering service
work or other work on the unit. (For replacing the
compressor, 500mm or more space is required.)
• When drawing out the pipe downward, remove the
knockouts on the base plate of the outdoor unit, draw
the pipes out of the outdoor unit, and perform piping on
the right/left or rear side. Downward length of the balance pipe should be 5m or less.
