If the size-up size is NOT available, you must use the standard
size. Sizes bigger than the size-up size are NOT allowed. But
even if you use the standard size, the equivalent piping length is
allowed to be more than 90 m.
(b)
Pipe size-up is NOT allowed.
▪ The pipe thickness of the refrigerant piping shall comply with the
applicable legislation. The minimal pipe thickness for R410A
piping must be in accordance with the table below.

▪ In case the required pipe sizes (inch sizes) are not available, it is
also allowed to use other diameters (mm sizes), taken the
following into account:
▪ Select the pipe size nearest to the required size.
▪ Use the suitable adapters for the change-over from inch to mm
pipes (field supply).
▪ The additional refrigerant calculation has to be adjusted as
mentioned
in
"To
determine
amount" [ 4 25].
F: Piping between refrigerant branch kit and
branch selector box (BP box)
Pipe size for direct connection on branch selector box (BP*) must be
based on the total capacity of the connected indoor units (only in
case RA DX indoor units are connected).

▪ For refnet joints other than the first branch (example refnet joint b),
select the proper branch kit model based on the total capacity
index of all indoor units connected after the refrigerant branch.

▪ Concerning refnet headers, choose from the following table in
accordance with the total capacity of all the indoor units connected
below the refnet header.

If the pipe size above the refnet header is Ø34.9 or more,
KHRQ22M75H is required.

from the following table in accordance with the number of outdoor
units.

The RYYQ22~54 models, consisting of two or three RYMQ modules,
require a 3-pipe system. There is an additional equalising pipe for
such modules (in addition to the conventional gas and liquid piping).
This equalising pipe does not exist for RYYQ8~20 or RXYQ8~54
units.
The equalising pipe connections for the different RYMQ modules are
mentioned in below table.

Deciding the equalising pipe diameter:
▪ In case of 3 multi units: the connection diameter of outdoor to
T‑joint has to be kept.
▪ In case of 2 multi units: the connection pipe has to have the
largest diameter.
There is never a connection of the equalising pipe with the indoor
units.
