Twinning Kit Installation Manual
sFor your safety, thoroughly read the following instructions prior to installation.
Safety Precautions
sThoroughly read the following “Safety Precautions” to ensure proper installation.
sObserve the following important safety precautions at all times.
sHazards that can occur from incorrect handling are classified by the symbols below:
WARNING
CAUTION
Incorrect handling can result in death or serious injury.
Incorrect handling can result in bodily injury and/or structure damage.
WARNING
CAUTION
Only a dealer or qualified technician should
perform installation.
Properly install all parts according to the
instructions in the Installation Manual.
After installation, check for a refrigerant leak.
Do not make any modifications or alterations.
Consult your dealer for repair.
When installing or relocating the unit, check that
no substance other than the specified refrigerant
(R410A) enters the refrigerant circuit.
Do not touch the refrigerant pipes and refrigerant
circuit components with bare hands during and
immediately after operation.
In the event of a refrigerant leak, thoroughly
ventilate the room.
sImproper installation may result in refrigerant gas leakage and
equipment damage.
sIf the wrong twinning pipe or wrong size connecting pipe is used,
air conditioning performance will suffer.
sIf leaked refrigerant comes in contact with a heat source, such
as a fan heater, stove, or electric grill, toxic gases will be
generated.
sImproper installation may result in water leakage, electric shock,
or fire. sAny presence of foreign substance or air can cause abnormal
pressure rise or explosion.
sDuring or immediately after operation, certain parts of the unit
such as pipes and compressor may be either very cold or hot,
depending on the state of the refrigerant in the unit at the time.
To reduce the risk of frostbites and burns, do not touch these
parts with bare hands.
sIf refrigerant leaks and comes in contact with an open flame,
toxic gases will be generated.
Properly dispose of packing materials.
sPlastic bags can pose suffocation and choking hazards: keep
them out of the reach of children. Tear the plastics bags before
disposing of them.
* See the Installation Manual that came with the outdoor unit for installation instructions.

2. Selecting the Correct Size Refrigerant Pipes and Using the Twinning Kit
(1) Pipe size
1Field-supply the pipes to be connected to the kit.
2Select the correct size pipe referring to the outline diagram of
the unit model in use or the Databook.
3If the pipe was cut with a pipe cutter, remove the burrs and
eliminate foreign materials before connecting.
* On the low-pressure side, the twinning kit connects to the field-
supplied pipes inside the outdoor unit.
The distributor on the low-pressure side must be placed in the
outdoor unit that has a larger capacity index of the two, regardless
of the relative positions of the outdoor units or their addresses.
If the distributor is placed in the outdoor unit that has a smaller
capacity, refrigerant will not be properly distributed and compressor
failure may result.
(If outdoor units that have the same capacity are used in
combination, the distributor can be placed in either outdoor unit.)

(5) Slope of twinning pipes (high-pressure side only)
Make sure the slope of the twinning pipes are at an angle
within ±15˚ to the horizontal plane.
If the slope exceeds the specified angle, the unit may be
damaged.
Note. Refer to the figure below for the installation position of the twinning pipe.
· Before heating the pipes, place a wet towel on the refrigerant service
valve to keep its temperature below 120
˚C [248˚F] .
· Direct the flame away from the cables and sheet metals inside the unit
so as not to burn them.

4. Insulation Cover Installation
Install the insulation cover on the twinning kit after brazing the pipes and twinning kit.
Insulate all refrigerant pipes. Insulate the high-pressure and low-pressure pipes separately, and pipes located inside the unit as well as
the outside. Use heat-resistant insulation material (Heat resistant : at least 120°C [248°F], Thickness: high-pressure = 10 mm [13/32 in],
low-pressure = 20 mm [13/16 in] ). Position the edges of the insulation cover and heat-resistant insulation material so as not to leave a
gap, and then wrap the exterior perimeter of the pipe joints and middle with tape (field-supplied).
3. Pipe Connection Example
Connect the pipes between outdoor units, referencing
the figure below.

Tape (field-supplied)
Insulation covers can shrink.
Overlap the tape as shown in the
left figure so that there will be no
gap in between the insulation cover
or field-installed insulation material.
(6) The length of the straight pipe between indoor units and the twinning pipe (high-pressure pipe)
Use the pipes supplied in the twinning kit, and make sure the section of the field-supplied pipe that connects to the twinning
pipe has at least 500 mm [19-11/16 in] of straight section. (The section of the field-supplied pipe that connects to the twinning
pipe must have at least 500 mm [19-11/16 in] of straight section.) If the straight section is less than 500 mm [19-11/16 in], it
may result in equipment damage.
(7) Pipe connection (high-pressure side)
· Make sure the pipes from the twinning pipe to the outdoor unit are sloped downwards.
