CALCULATING EQUIVALENT LENGTHS The effects of bends and fittings must be taken into account. The table on top of page 5 covers the fittings most likely to be encountered in installation. ACTUAL PIPE LENGTH + TOTAL EQUIVALENT FITTING LENGTHS = TOTAL EQUIVALENT LENGTH FITTING LOSSES in equivalent straight lengths of pipes (m) INSTALLERS TABLE PIPE SIZE (outside diameter in inches)
RESTRICTORS Outdoor units (cool only & heat pumps) are supplied with expansion assemblies and cooling restrictors fitted.

a. With the system switched off, connect a high pressure gauge to the liquid line service valve. b. Switch on the system, indoor fan set to high speed, and run for a few minutes to stabilise. c. The head pressure should be approximately: R407C: 275-280 psig (18.9-19.6barg) to achieve this adjust the screw clockwise to increase pressure or anticlockwise to decrease.
