・Refer to section 5 "Package contents" for details about the supplied connecting pipes.
・When connecting pipes, make sure the service valves are completely closed.
・Commercially available pipes often contain dust or debris. Always blow them clean with a dry inert gas.
・Take care to prevent dust, water or other contaminants from entering the pipes during installation.
・Reduce the number of bending portions as much as possible, and make the bending radius as big as possible.
・Do not use any commercially available anti-oxidizing agents since they may cause pipe corrosion and degrading of
the refrigerant oil. Please contact Mitsubishi Electric for more details.
・Make sure that the pipes are not in contact with each other, unit panels, or base plates.
