REFRIGERANT PIPING
Knockout of Pipe Cover
Knockout procedure
• The indoor/outdoor connecting pipes can be connected
in 4 directions.
Take off the knockout part of the pipe cover through
which pipes or wires will pass through the base plate.
• Detach the pipe cover and tap on the knockout section a
few times with the shank of a screwdriver. A knockout
hole can easily be punched.
• As shown in the figure below, it is easier to punch out the
knockout hole when the pipe cover is left in place rather
than when the cover is removed from the unit.
In knocking out the hole, the knockout section can easily
be removed by hand once the bottom of the three
locations where the section is joined along the guide lines
is broken using a screwdriver.
• After punching out the knockout hole, remove burrs from
the hole, and install the protective bush and guard
material around the passage hole provided as
accessories in order to protect the wires and pipes. Also
be sure to attach the pipe covers after connecting the
pipes. The pipe covers can be easily attached by cutting
off the slits at the lower part of the covers.
* Be sure to wear heavy work gloves while working.

should be lower than the height of the outdoor unit.
Standard installation
Installation of Outdoor Unit
• Before installation, check the strength and horizontalness
of the base so that abnormal sounds do not emanate.
• According to the following base diagram, fix the base
firmly with the anchor bolts.
(Anchor bolt, nut: M10 x 4 pairs)
• As shown in the figure below, install the foundation and
vibration-proof rubber pads to directly support the bottom
surface of the fixing leg that is in contact with and
underneath the bottom plate of the outdoor unit.
* When installing the foundation for an outdoor unit with
downward piping, consider the piping work.
Set the out margin of the anchor bolt to 15 mm or less.
• When water is to be drained through the drain hose,
attach the following drain nipple and waterproof rubber
cap, and use the drain hose (Inner diam: 16 mm) sold on
the market. Also seal the knockout hole and screws
securely with silicone material, etc., to prevent water from
leaking.
Some conditions may cause dewing or dripping of water.
• When collectively draining discharged water completely,
use a drain pan.
• Please pay attention to the drain in region with snowfall
and cold temperature, as it may be frozen and cause
drainage problems. Punch the knockout holes on the
base plate to improve drainability. Use a screwdriver and
take off the knockout part outward.
For Reference
If a heating operation is to be continuously performed for a
long time under the condition that the outdoor temperature is
0 °C or lower, draining defrosted water may be difficult due to
the bottom plate freezing, resulting in trouble with the cabinet
or fan.
It is recommended to procure an anti-freeze heater locally in
order to safely install the air conditioner.
For details, contact the dealer.
