- There is no limitation on the joint mounting configuration.
- If the diameter of the refrigerant piping selected by the procedures
described is different from the size of the joint, the connecting sec-
tion should be cut with a pipe cutter.
- Branch pipe should be insulated with the insulator in each kit.

- When the number of indoor units to be connected to the branch
pipes is less than the number of branch pipes available for connection
then cap pipes should be fitted to the surplus branches.

- The indoor unit having larger ca-
pacity must be installed closer to
Ⓐ than smaller one.
- If the diameter of the refrigerant
piping selected by the proce-
dures described is different from
the size of the joint, the connect-
ing section should be cut with a
pipe cutter.

- When the number of pipes to be
connected is smaller than the
number of header branches, in-
stall a cap to the unconnected
branches.
