Do not apply refrigerating machine oil to the screw portions.
(This will make the flare nuts more apt to loosen.)

Be certain to use the flare nuts that are attached to the main unit.
(Use of commercially-available products may result in cracking.)

4.1. Connecting pipes (Fig. 4-1)
• When commercially available copper pipes are used, wrap liquid and gas pipes
with commercially available insulation materials (heat-resistant to 100 °C or
more, thickness of 12 mm or more).
• The indoor parts of the drain pipe should be wrapped with polyethylene foam

insulation materials (specific gravity of 0.03, thickness of 9 mm or more).
• Apply thin layer of refrigerant oil to pipe and joint seating surface before
tightening flare nut.
• Use two wrenches to tighten piping connections.
• Use refrigerant piping insulation provided to insulate indoor unit connections.
Insulate carefully.
