• Install the joints horizontally, so that the caution label (1) attached to
the joint comes to the top.
- Do not tilt the joint more than 15° (see view A).
- Do not install the joint vertically (see view B).
• Make sure that the total length of the piping connected to the joint
is absolute straight for more than 19-11/16 in. (500 mm). Only if a
straight eld piping of more than 4-3/4 in. (120 mm) is connected,
more than 19-11/16 in. (500 mm) of straight section can be ensured.
• Improper installation may lead to malfunction of the outdoor unit.
