3. Connecting the Pipe at the lndoor Unit Side
Detach the caps and plugs from the pipes.
� CAUTION!
• Be sure to apply the pipe against the port on the indoor unit correctly. lf the centering is
improper, the fiare nut cannot be tightened smoothly. lf the fiare nut is forced to turn, the
threads will be damaged.
• Do not remove the fiare nut until the connection pipe is to be connected so as to prevent
dust and impurities from coming into the pipe system.
Centering the pipe against port on the indoor unit, turn the fiare nut with your hand.

For both indoor and outdoor unit side, check the joints for
gas leaking by the use of a gas leakage detector without fail
when the pipes are connected.
