Drill a Hole in the Wall
• Drill the piping hole with a ø70mm hole core drill.
Drill the piping hole at either the right or the left with
the hole slightly slanted to the outdoor side.
Flaring Work
Main cause for gas leakage is due to defect in flaring work. Carry out correct flaring work in the following procedure.
Cut the pipes and the cable.
1. Use the piping kit accessory or the pipes purchased
locally.
2. Measure the distance between the indoor and the out-
door unit.
3. Cut the pipes a little longer than measured distance.
4. Cut the cable 1.5m longer than the pipe length.
Burrs removal
1. Completely remove all burrs from the cut cross section
of pipe/tube.
2. Put the end of the copper tube/pipe in a downward
direction as you remove burrs in order to avoid drop-
ping burrs into the tubing.
Putting nut on
• Remove flare nuts attached to indoor and outdoor unit,
then put them on pipe/tube having completed burr
removal.
(not possible to put them on after flaring work)
Flaring work
