3.2 Caution in Connecting Pipes
Note: Do not loosen the cap of the pipes when connecting the pipes between the indoor unit
and the outdoor unit. Connecting the pipes as soon as possible after loosening the cap of the pipes
to avoid the entering of water and dust. A metal pipe should be utilized if a pipe should be installed
through a wall.
1). The connection of the pipes should conrm to the following principles:
2). Make sure to lessen the length of connecting pipe, the height difference between the
indoor and outdoor unit, and the number of bends, and enlarge the diameter of bends.

The pipe meld type could be employed for the connection of the pipes between the indoor and outdoor
units.
The pipe joint should be tightly connected when a pipe joint is employed between two pipes. It is better to
use only one connecting pipe if the distance is not far.
The pipes should not be shriveled when the pipes are connecting. The bend diameter should be longer
than 200 millimeter. The connecting pipes should not be extended or curved frequently and the curving process
should not be larger than 3 times in the same bending position.
