The piping connection size differs according to the type and capacity of indoor units.
Match the piping connection size of branch box with indoor unit.
If the piping connection size of branch box does not match the piping connection
size of indoor unit, use optional different-diameter (deformed) joints to the branch
box side.
(Connect deformed joint directly to the branch box side.)

2 Ensure that the 2 refrigerant pipes are insulated to prevent condensation.
3 Refrigerant pipe bending radius must be 4" (100 mm) or more.
Caution:
Be sure to use the insulation of specified thickness. Excessive thickness may
cause incorrect installation of the indoor unit and branch box, and lack of
thickness may cause dew drippage.
