G. The liquid pipe and gas pipe must have the same length and be laid in the same route. 
H. The manifold has an attached pipe used to adjust the diameter of different pipes. If the pipe size 
on site does not match the size of the manifold junction, use the pipe cutter to cut at the middle of 
the pipe  and remove burrs.  Then insert  the copper pipe  to proper depth.  A concave  bag  for 
positioning is available to the manifold purchased from Gree. 
 
I. Because the manifold structure is complex, perform with care to ensure tight insulation. 
(7) Pipe Cleaning by Nitrogen 
Before connecting the flare opening of the pipe to the IDU, connect the pressure regulator valve on 
the nitrogen cylinder to the liquid pipe in the outdoor pipe system. Regulate the nitrogen pressure to 
about 5 kgf/cm² and blow nitrogen into the pipe for 1 minute. Repeat this operation for three times till the 
dirt and water are discharged. After cleaning the liquid pipe, perform the same operation to clean the gas 
pipe. 
Leave the pipe disconnected 
from the indoor unit temporarily.

Perform  an  air-tightness  test  and  a  vacuum  test  to  the  entire  refrigerant  pipe  system  after  the 
construction is finished.   
There must be a secure distance between pipes. Pipes in different types must be fixed separately.   
(8) During refrigerant pipe installation, ensure a distance above 500 mm between the pipe and the 
electric box of the unit for maintenance. In a case when the space is not enough, the final piping 
way must be determined by the technical personnel.
