Heat insulation for refrigerant pipes (Fig. 4-3)
1. Wrap the enclosed large-sized pipe cover around the gas pipe, making sure that
the end of the pipe cover touches the side of the unit.
2. Wrap the enclosed small-sized pipe cover around the liquid pipe, making sure that
the end of the pipe cover touches the side of the unit.
3. Secure both ends of each pipe cover with the enclosed bands. (Attach the bands
20 mm from the ends of the pipe cover.)
4.3. For twin/triple/quadruple combination
Refer to the outdoor unit installation manual.
Some outdoor units cannot be used in a simultaneous twin/triple/quadruple system.
5.1. Drainage piping work (Fig. 5-1)
• The indoor parts of the drain pipe should be wrapped with polyethylene foam insula-
tion materials (specific gravity of 0.03, thickness of 9 mm or more).
• Use VP25 (O.D. ø32 PVC TUBE) for drain piping and provide 1/100 or more down-
ward slope.
• Be sure to connect the piping joints using a PVC type adhesive.
• Observe the figure for piping work.
• Use the included drain hose to change the extraction direction.
• When performing the drainage piping work, be sure to use the support metal holders.
If a load is applied to the drain socket that damages the hose or causes the hose
to become detached, water leakage may result.

1. Connect the drain socket (supplied with the unit) to the drain port. (Fig. 5-2)
(Fix the tube using PVC adhesive then secure it with a band.)
2. Install a locally purchased drain pipe (PVC pipe, O.D. ø32).
(Fix the pipe using PVC adhesive then secure it with a band.)
3. Check that drain flows smoothly.

4. Insulate the drain port and socket with insulating material, then secure the material
with a band. (Both insulating material and band are supplied with the unit.)
