6  When on-site piping with joint such as elbow, socket is 
buried, provide a service access door to facilitate the check 
for connecting part.
7  Perform to support for earthquake resistant to the pipes in 
order not to damage by an external force.
8  Do not clamp tightly the refrigerant pipe when supporting for 
prevention of heat stress.
9  Do not touch the refrigerant pipes to low strength portions 
of walls or ceilings. If not, it may cause abnormal sound or 
vibration.
10  Perform the air tight test. The air tight procedures should be 
performed according to Installation and Operation Manual of 
the outdoor unit.
11  Insulate each are connection without gap to prevent of dew 
condensation by using the accessory thermal insulation pipe. 
Additionally, insulate eld gas and liquid pipings by using 
eld-supplied thermal insulations.

attach the insulation moving to the indoor unit side as shown 
in the gure. When attaching, wrap the insulation without gap

! CAUTION
Do not apply excessive force to the are nut when tightening. If applied, 
the are nut may crack due to aged degradation and refrigerant leakage 
may occur. Use the specied tightening torque.
13  If using a forming agent (recommended Gupoex) after 
installing the air panel, avoid touching the forming agent to 
the air  panel. If the forming agent is touched to the air panel, 
it may cause the breakage and the falling of the air panel. In 
this case, completely wipe o the touched forming agent.
? NOTE
•  Cap the end of the pipe when the pipe is to be inserted through a hole.
•  Cap the end of the pipe to avoid rain or water entering.
•  Do not put pipes on the ground directly without a cap or vinyl tape at 
the end of the pipe.

14  Evacuation and refrigerant charging procedures should be 
performed according to Installation and Operation Manual of 
the outdoor unit.
