5-4. Connecting Tubing between Indoor and
Outdoor Units
a)
Tightly connect the indoor side refrigerant tubing exten-
ded from the wall with the outdoor side tubing. (Fig. 21)
b)
To fasten the flare nuts, apply specified torque as:

5-5. Insulation of Refrigerant Tubing
To prevent heat loss and wet floors due to dripping of con-
densation,
both tubes must be well insulated with a
proper insulation material.
The thickness of the insulation should be a minimum 5/16"
(8 mm). (Fig. 22)

Taping the flare nuts
Wind the insulation tape around the flare nuts at the
tube connections. Secondly cover up the tubing connec-
tions with the flare insulation (1/8" (T3, supplied)). Then
wind the other flare insulation (3/16" (T5, supplied)).
Finally, fasten the insulation at both ends with the sup-
plied vinyl ties. (Fig. 23)
Insulation material
The material used for insulation must have good insula-
tion characteristics, be easy to use, be age resistant,
and must not easily absorb moisture.
After a tube has been insulat-
ed, never try to bend it into a
narrow curve because it can
cause the tube to break or
crack.
