<A> When the piping (from the twinning pipe) exceeds 2m [6ft], include a trap (gas pipe only) within 2m [6ft]. Make sure the height of the trap is 200mm [7-7/8 in] or more.
If there is no trap, oil can accumulate inside the pipe, causing a shortage of oil damaging the compressor.

<A> Install the piping so that oil will not accumulate in the stopped heat source unit. (both the liquid and the gas side for PQHY-P·ZSKMU-A,
the high-pressure side only for PQRY-P·ZSKMU-A)
