1. Carefully remove the mounting plate, which is attached to
the back of the indoor unit.
2. The mounting plate should be located horizontally and level
on the wall. All minimum spacings shown in Fig. 3, 4, and
5 -- 7 should be maintained.
3. If the wall is block, brick, concrete or similar material, drill
.2” (5 mm) diameter holes and insert anchors for the ap-
propriate mounting screws.
4. Attach the mounting plate to the wall.

PIPING, DRAIN AND W IRING
Refrigerant Line Ro uting
The refrigerant lines may be routed in any of the four directions
showninFig.9.
For m aximum serviceability, it is recommended to have refrigerant
line flare connections and the drain connections on the outside of
the wall that the fan coil can be mounted on.
If piping is going through the back:
1. Determine pipe hole position using the mounting plate as a
template. Drill pipe hole diameter per chart below. The
outside pipe hole is 1/2--in. (13 mm) min. lower than inside
pipe hole, so it slants slightly downward (see Fig. 8).
