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, 212 °F
or more, thickness of 12 mm, 1/2 inch or more).
• The indoor parts of the drain pipe should be wrapped with polyethylene foam
D
insulation materials (specific gravity of 0.03, thickness of 9 mm, 23/64 inch 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.
