● The maximum allowable length of refrigerant piping, and the maximum allowable height difference between the
outdoor and indoor units, are listed below. (The shorter the refrigerant piping, the better the performance. Connect so
that the piping is as short as possible. Shortest allowable length per room is 9.8 ft.)
1. Installing Outdoor Unit
1)
When installing the outdoor unit, refer to “Precautions for Selecting the Location” and the “Indoor/Outdoor Unit Installation Drawings”.
2) If drain work is necessary, follow the procedures below.
3. Refrigerant Piping
2. Drain Work
1) Use B drain plug for drainage.
2)
If the drain port is covered by a mounting base or floor surface, place
additional foot bases of at least 1-3/16 inch in height under the outdoor unit’s
feet.
3) In cold areas, do not use a drain hose with the outdoor unit. (Otherwise,
drain water may freeze, impairing heating performance.)
If the outdoor unit is positioned higher than the indoor units.
If the one indoor unit is positioned higher than the outdoor
unit, and other indoor unit is positioned lower than it.

1) Use the flare nut fixed to the main unit. (To prevent cracking of the flare nut by aged deterioration.)
2)
To prevent gas leakage, apply refrigeration oil only to the inner surface of the flare. (Use refrigeration oil for R410A.)
3) Use torque wrenches when tightening the flare nuts to prevent damage to the flare nuts and gas leakage.
Align the centres of both flares and tighten the flare nuts 3 or 4 turns by hand. Then tighten them fully with the torque wrenches.
