Restriction when install
Be sure following restriction.
1) Installation angle
Place the separation tubes horizontally or vertically so that the refrigerant separates evenly.
Horizontal

Vertical
CAUTION
● If it is placed horizontally, keep it within ± 15°. Otherwise, it will not separate the refrigerant evenly, causing a reduction
in performance.

● During piping work, apply nitrogen gas while brazing the pipes. If pipes are brazed without applying nitrogen gas, it will
create a large amount of oxidation film, which will cause a critical malfunction.
● To prevent moisture or foreign matter from entering during work, do not leave the piping open.
● Refer to the Installation Manual supplied with the outdoor unit for airtightness test and evacuation procedures.
2) Straight pipe length
A straight pipe (minimum length 2 ft. (0.5 m)) before separation tube is necessary in order to
separation the refrigerant exactly.

About the connecting curvature of eld pipe and separation tube:
The eld pipe should be connected to the branch kit so that the curved angle on each side is 3
degree or less.
