2. 4. 5. Selecting pipe sizes
The diameters of the connection pipes differ according to the capacity of the indoor unit.
Refer to the following table for the proper diameters of the connection pipes between the
indoor and outdoor units.

Operation cannot be guaranteed if the correct combination of pipes, valves, etc., is not
used to connect the indoor and outdoor units.
2. 4. 6. Heat insulation around connection pipes requirements
Install heat insulation around both the gas and liquid pipes.
Failure to do so may cause water leaks.
Use heat insulation with heat resistance above 248 °F. (Reverse cycle model only)
In addition, if the humidity level at the installation location of the refrigerant piping is
expected to exceed 70%, install heat insulation around the refrigerant piping. If the
expected humidity level is 70-80%, use heat insulation that is 19/32 in. or thicker and if
the expected humidity exceeds 80%, use heat insulation that is 25/32 in. or thicker.
If heat insulation is used that is not as thick as specifi ed, condensation may form on
the surface of the insulation. In addition, use heat insulation with heat conductivity of
0.045 W/(m·K) or less (at 68 °F).
Connect the connection pipes according to "4.1. Pipe connection" in this installation manu-
al.
