4.4. Installing heat insulation
Install the heat insulation material after performing a refrigerant leak check (refer to the
installation manual for the outdoor unit for details).
4.4.1. Coupler heat insulation
• Insulate by the coupler heat insulation
(accessories) around the gas pipe and
liquid pipe of indoor side.
• After installing the coupler heat insula-
tion, wrap both end with vinyl tape so
that there is no gap.
• After affixing the coupler heat insulation,
secure it with 2 cable ties (large), one on
each end of the insulation.
• Make sure that the cable ties overlap the
heat insulation pipe.
After checking for gas leaks (refer to the Installation Manual of the outdoor unit), per-
form this section.
Install heat insulation around both the large (gas) and small (liquid) pipes. Failure to do
so may cause water leaks.
5. INSTALLING DRAIN PIPES
Do not insert the drain piping into the sewer where sulfurous gas occurs. (Heat ex-
change erosion may occur)
Insulate the parts properly so that water will not drip from the connection parts.
Check for proper drainage after the construction by using the visible portion of transpar-
ent drain port and the drain piping final outlet on the body.
Do not apply adhesive agent on the drain port of the body.
(Use the attached drain hose and connect the drain piping)
5.1. Drain piping
• Use general hard polyvinyl chloride pipe (VP25) [outside diameter 32 mm].
• Do not perform a rise, trap and air bleeding.
• Provide a downward gradient (1/100 or more).
• Provide supporters when long pipes are installed.
• Use an insulation material as needed, to prevent the pipes from freezing.
• Install the pipes in a way that allows for the removal of the control box.

5.2. Install the drain pipe
Be sure to fix the drain hose to the drain port with the hose band. Do not apply glue to
the drain port. Otherwise it will cause water leakage.

The hose band (b) must be positioned at the right

(2) Be sure to connect
Drain pipe with adhe-
sive (polyvinyl chloride)
so that there is no
leakage.
Do not connect to the drain hole with adhesive. Using adhesive may cause damage and
water leaks.
(3) After installing the drain hose (a), check if the drainage is smooth.
To prevent excessive force on drain hose (a), avoid bends or twists. (To bend or twist
may cause water leaks.)
