The piping can be run in the 3 directions indicated by numbers in the picture . When the piping is run in direction 1or 3, cut a notch along the groove on the side of the indoor unit with a cutter. Run the piping in the direction of the wall hole and bind the copper pipes , the drain pipe and the power cables together with the tape with the drain pipe at the bottom, so that water can flow freely.
Do not remove the cap from the pipe until connecting it, to avoid dampness or dirt from entering. If the pipe is bent or pulled too often , it will become stiff . Do not bend the pipe more than three times at one point. When extending the rolled pipe, straighten the pipe by unwinding it gently as shown in the picture.

INSTALLATION MANUAL—Installation of the outdoor unit
The outdoor unit should be installed on a solid wall and fastened securely. The following procedure must be observed before connecting the pipes and connecting cables : decide which is the best position on the wall and leave enough space to be able to carry out maintenance easily. Fasten the support to the wall using screw anchors which are particularly suited to the type of wall; Use a larger quantity of screw anchors than normally required for the weight they have to bear to aviod vibration during operation and remain fastened in the same position for years without the screws becoming loose. The unit must be installed following the national regulations. The outdoor unit should be installed on a solid wall and fastened securely, of on the ground on a flat/level surface like a concrete slab. The bolt size is M8*80mm.

Outdoor unit condensed water drainage (only for heat pump models)
The condensed water and the ice formed in the outdoor unit during heating operation can be drained away through the drain pipe

CONNECTING THE PIPES

Screw the flare nuts to the outdoor unit coupling with the same tightening procedures described for the indoor unit.
To avoid leakage, pay attention to the following points:
1. Tighten the flare nuts using two wrenches. Pay attention not to damage the pipes.
2. If the tightening torque is not sufficient , there will probably be some leakage. With excessive tightening torque there will also be some leakage, as the flange could be damaged.
3. The surest system consists in tightening the connection by using a fix wrench and a torque wrench as below:
