NOTICE
Precautions when making knockout holes:
▪ Avoid damaging the casing.
▪ After making the knockout holes, we recommend you
remove the burrs and paint the edges and areas
around the edges using repair paint to prevent rusting.
▪ When passing electrical wiring through the knockout
holes, wrap the wiring with protective tape to prevent
damage.
15.2.2
To connect the refrigerant piping to the
outdoor unit
NOTICE
▪ Be sure to use the supplied accessory pipes when
carrying out piping work in the field.
▪ Be sure that the field installed piping does not touch
other pipes, the bottom panel or side panel. Especially
for the bottom and side connection, be sure to protect
the piping with suitable insulation, to prevent it from
coming into contact with the casing.
Connect the stop valves to the field piping using the accessory pipes
supplied with the unit.
The connections to the branch kits are the responsibility of the
installer (field piping).
