Mitsubishi Electric | Wall-Mounted Split System Air Conditioner 7.1kW Cooling AP Series | R32 Built-In Wi-Fi
The Mitsubishi Electric MSZ-AP71VGKD2KIT is a reverse-cycle wall-mounted split system rated 7.1 kW cooling and 8.0 kW heating. The kit pairs the MSZ-AP71VGKD2 indoor unit with the MUZ-AP71VGD2 outdoor unit on R32 refrigerant. The MSZ-AP71VGKD2KIT's indoor unit includes built-in Wi-Fi, so no separate adapter is needed.
At 7.1 kW cooling and 8.0 kW heating, the MSZ-AP71VGKD2KIT suits a large open-plan living zone. Output modulates between 2.0 and 8.7 kW cooling and 2.2 to 9.9 kW heating. The zoned energy label gives it 3.5 stars for cooling in the hot and cold zones and 3 stars in the average zone. Heating is rated 3 stars hot, 2.5 average and 2 cold. Airflow runs to 310 L/s in cooling and 320 L/s in heating across five fan speeds.
The system runs on 230 V single-phase at 50 Hz and needs a 20 A breaker. The supply cable is 3-core 2.5 mm2, with 4-core 1.0 mm2 running between the units. Pipework is 6.35 mm liquid and 12.70 mm gas, with a 30 m maximum run, 15 m height difference and up to 10 bends. The outdoor unit is pre-charged with 1.5 kg of R32, covering runs to 15 m, with 20 g per metre added beyond that. Installation must be carried out by an appropriately licensed technician.
Carton sizes and weights
- Indoor unit carton — 340 x 1150 x 340 mm (H x W x D), 17 kg bare.
- Outdoor unit carton — 1040 x 980 x 430 mm (H x W x D), 53 kg bare.
Combined bare weight is 70 kg, and this model's gross carton weights are not published. The outdoor carton is the taller of the two at 1040 mm and much heavier, so treat it as a two-person lift. Check that the vehicle or trailer can take both cartons before collecting. Transport and store the outdoor unit upright, as laying it on its side or top risks equipment damage. Until installation, keep the system in a clean, dry, pest-free place to meet warranty conditions.

Where to use
- Open-plan living zones — 7.1 kW of cooling covers a combined lounge, kitchen and dining area.
- Large rooms with high ceilings — the MSZ-AP71VGKD2KIT moves up to 310 L/s of air in cooling.
- Long pipe runs — 30 m of pipe, 15 m of height and up to 10 bends let the outdoor unit sit well away from the head.
- Granny flats and extensions — the MSZ-AP71VGKD2KIT heats to 8.0 kW, covering a separate dwelling in winter.
- Rooms needing app control — built-in Wi-Fi lets you switch the system on before you enter the room.
The MSZ-AP71VGKD2KIT cannot go into a room smaller than 4.4 square metres of floor area, and the indoor unit does not drop below 30 dB(A). Heating falls to 2 stars in the cold zone, so check the zone before specifying it for winter duty. Outdoor operation is limited to -10 to 46 deg C in cooling and -15 to 24 deg C in heating. Pipe runs beyond 30 m fall outside the published installation limits.
Confirm the final selection against the room, its orientation, and its insulation before ordering. Sparky Direct does not provide installation advice or assess suitability for a specific site. The warranty runs from the invoice date and is void if the system is not installed by a licensed electrician.
