5-4. Taping the Tubes
(1)  At this time, the refrigerant tubes (and 
electrical wiring if local codes permit) should 
be taped together with armoring tape in 
1 bundle. To prevent condensation from 
overflowing the drain pan, keep the drain hose 
separate from the refrigerant tubing.
(2)  Wrap the armoring tape from the bottom of 
the outdoor unit to the top of the tubing where 
it enters the wall. As you wrap the tubing, 
overlap half of each previous tape turn.
(3)  Clamp the tubing bundle to the wall, using 1 
clamp approx. each meter.
NOTE
Do not wind the armoring tape too tightly since this will decrease the 
heat insulation effect. Also ensure that the condensation drain hose 
splits away from the bundle and drips clear of the unit and the tubing.
5-5. Finishing the Installation
After finishing insulating and taping over the tubing, use sealing putty 
to seal off the hole in the wall to prevent rain and draft from entering.
