NOTE
1: The outdoor connection main tubing (LO portion) is determined by the total capacity of the outdoor units that
are connected to the tube ends.
2: If the longest tubing length (L1) exceeds 295 ft. (equivalent length), increase the sizes of the main tubes (LM)
by 1 rank for the discharge tubes, suction tubes, and narrow tubes. (field supplied)
3: If the longest main tube length (LM) exceeds 164 feet, increase the main tube size at the portion before 164 ft.
by 1 rank for the suction tubes and discharge tubes. (field supplied)
(For the portion that exceeds 164 feet, set based on the main tube sizes (LA) listed in the table on the following page.)
