Check whether the height drop between the indoor unit and outdoor unit, the length of refrigerant
pipe, and the number of the bends meet the following requirements:
The max height drop ................................................................................................... 20m
(If the height drop is more than 10m, you had better put the outdoor unit over above the indoor
unit.)
The length of refrigerant pipe ...................................................................... less than 30m
The number of bends ..................................................................................... less than 15
1. Locate The Pipe
a) Measure the necessary length of the connecting pipe.
b) Drill a hole in the wall (suitable just for the size of the wall conduit, 90mm in general), then set
on the fittings such as the wall conduit and its cover.
c) Bind the connecting pipe and the cables together tightly with binding tapes. Do not let air in,
which will cause water leakage by condensation.
d) Pass the bound connecting pipe through the wall conduit from outside. Be careful of the pipe
allocation to do no damage to the tubing.
2. Connect the pipes.
a) Connect the indoor unit at first, then the outdoor unit.
Bend the tubing in proper way. Do not harm them.
CAUTIONS
Daub the surfaces of the flare pipe and the joint nuts with frozen oil, and wrench it for 3~4
rounds with hands before fasten the flare nuts. (Refer to chart 18)
Be sure to use two wrenches simultaneously when you connect or disconnect the pipes.
b) The stop valve of the outdoor unit should be closed absolutely (as original state). Every time
you connect it, first loosen the nuts at the part of stop valve, then connect the flare pipe
immediately (in 5 minutes). If the nuts have been loosened for a long time, dusts and other
impurities may enter the pipe system and may cause malfunction later. So please expel the air
out of the pipe with refrigerant before connection.
The standard length of connecting pipe is no more than 8m, choose appropriate position for
both indoor and outdoor unit to make the connecting pipe as short as possible.
Do not let air, dust, or other impurities fall in the pipe system during the time of installation.
The connecting pipe should not be installed until the indoor and outdoor units have been fixed
already.
Keep the connecting pipe dry, and do not let moisture in during installation.
