1-12. Installing Distribution Joint
(1) Refer to “HOW TO ATTACH DISTRIBUTION JOINT” enclosed with the optional distribution joint kit  
  (CZ-P680PH2, CZ-P1350PH2, CZ-P224BH2, CZ-P680BH2, CZ-P1350BH2).
●   When connecting a branch tubing to the indoor unit directly, it is necessary for each branch tubing to install at a positive angle with 
respect to horizontal in order to prevent accumulation of refrigerant oil in stopped units. See the below chart.

●   B e sure to solidly weld shut the T-joint end (marked by X in 
the figure). In addition, pay attention to the insertion depth of 
each connected tube so that the flow of refrigerant within the 
T-joint is not impeded. 
  Be sure to use a commercial available T-joint.
●   When using the header joint system, do not make further 
branches in the tubing.
●   D o not use the header joint system on the outdoor unit side.
