9. Installation
9.5 Connection pipes to the indoor unit
1) Refrigerant piping work
please refer "REFRIGERANT PIPING WORK".
2) Piping insulation
① Perform heat insulation work completely on both gas and
the liquid pipe. Because improper insulation will result
due condensate formation over pipe.
② Use the heat insulation material for the refrigerant piping
which has an excellent heat resistance (over 120°C).
③ Precautions in high humidity circumstance.
④ Refer to the insulation works.
Liquid pipe
Union for gas pipe
Thermal insulation for refrigerant pipe
(Local supply) Thermal insulation for
Make sure that there is no clearance here.
CAUTION
• Make sure to insulate any field piping all the way to the
piping connection inside the unit. Any exposed piping
may cause condensation or burns if touched.

3) Indoor unit drain piping
① During drain piping connection, be careful not to exert
extra force on the drain port on the indoor unit.
② The outside diameter of the drain connection on the
indoor unit is 32mm.
Piping material: Polyvinyl chloride pipe inner diameter
Ø 25mm and pipe fitting
CAUTION
1. Decline Installation of indoor unit is very important for
the drain of the duct type air conditioner.
2. Minimum thickness of the insulation for the connecting
pipe should be 5mm.
4) Caution for gradient of unit and drain
piping
- Without drain pump
① Always lay the drain with downward inclination (1/50 to
1/100).
Prevent any upward flow or reverse flow in any part.
② 10mm or thicker formed thermal insulation shall always
be provided for the drain pipe.
Approx 2~3mm

external static pressure is below 50 pa(5mm Aq)
