CAUTION
• * : Assume equivalent piping length of Y branch to be 0.5m, that of header to be 1m, calculation purpose
• ** : Indoor unit should be installed at lower position than the header.
• Piping length from outdoor branch to outdoor unit ≤ 10m, equivalent length : max 13m

WARNING
Pipe lengths after header branch-
ing (a~f)
It is recommended that difference
in lengths of the pipes connected
to the indoor units is minimized.
Performance difference between
indoor units may occur.
