Outdoor unit connection
Connect pipes to stop valve pipe joint of the outdoor unit in the same
manner applied for indoor unit.
• For tightening, use a torque wrench or spanner and use the same
tightening torque applied for indoor unit.
Make sure to install the pipe cover. Incorrect installation results in water
leakage.

for this unit. The pipe cover gathers the water condensed around the
pipe connecting part.
1) Install the pipe band removed in 2-5. to secure the connecting pipes.
* The pipe band should hold down the insulating material of connect-
ing pipe. Insulating material should protrude 10 mm or more than the
pipe band, as shown in the illustration on the right.
2) Install pipe cover.
When using pipe with super insulating material
(about ø48 mm liquid pipe, ø51 mm gas pipe)
1) Make sure that the plate is turned over, and the concave part is fac-
ing upward. (Refer to 2-5)
2) Use band (6) provided with the unit. (Do not use the pipe band at-
