Ⓐ To Branch Piping or Indoor Unit
Ⓑ To Outdoor Unit
• Ensure that the branch pipes are attached horizontally or vertically
(see the diagram below.)
• There is no limitation on the joint mounting configuration.
• If the diameter of the refrigerant piping selected by the procedures
described is different from the size of the joint, the connecting sec-
tion should be cut with a pipe cutter.
• Branch pipe should be insulated with the insulator in each kit.
Ⓐ To Outdoor Unit
Ⓑ To Indoor Unit
• The indoor unit having larger ca-
pacity must be installed closer
to Ⓐ than smaller one.
• If the diameter of the refrigerant
piping selected by the proce-
dures described is different
from the size of the joint, the
connecting section should be
cut with a pipe cutter.

• When the number of pipes to be
connected is smaller than the
number of header branches, in-
stall a cap to the unconnected
branches.

WARNING
• Regulation for refrigerant leakage
: the amount of refrigerant leakage should satisfy the following
equation for human safety.
If the above equation can not be satisfied, then follow the follow-
ing steps.
• Selection of air conditioning system: select one of the next
- Installation of effective opening part
- Reconfirmation of Outdoor Unit capacity and piping length
- Reduction of the amount of refrigerant
- Installation of 2 or more security device (alarm for gas leakage)
• Change Indoor Unit type
:
installation position should be over 2m from the floor (Wall
mounted type → Cassette type)
• Adoption of ventilation system
: choose ordinary ventilation system or building ventilation sys-
tem
• Limitation in piping work
: Prepare for earthquake and thermal stress
!
WARNING
• Pipe to be vacuumed : gas pipe, liquid pipe
• If the refrigerant amount is not exact, it may not operate
properly.
• If additionally bottled refrigerant amount is over 10%, condenser
burst or insufficient indoor unit performance may be caused.
