Maximum allowable height difference
H1 ≤50 m (40 m) (if outdoor is located below indoor units)
H2 ≤15 m
H3 ≤5 m
Maximum allowable length after branch
The pipe length from the first refrigerant branch kit to the indoor unit ≤40 m.
Example 1.1: unit 8: b+c+d+e+f+g+p≤40 m
Example 1.2: unit 6: b+h≤40 m, unit 8: i+k≤40 m
Example 1.3: unit 8: i≤40 m
However, extension is possible if all below conditions are met. In this case
limitation can be extended up to 90 m.

Conditions:
a The piping length between all indoor units to the nearest branch kit is ≤40 m.
Example: h, i, j ... p≤40 m
b It is necessary to increase the pipe size of the gas and liquid piping if the pipe
length between the first branch kit and the farthest indoor unit is over 40 m.
If the increased pipe size is larger than the pipe size of the main pipe, then
the pipe size of the main pipe has to be increased as well.
Increase the pipe size as follows:
9.5 → 12.7; 12.7 → 15.9; 15.9 → 19.1; 19.1 → 22.2; 22.2 → 25.4
(a)
31.8 ; 34.9 → 38.1
(a) 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, you can increase the maximum allowable length after the first
branch if all other conditions are met.
Example: unit 8: b+c+d+e+f+g+p≤90 m and b+c+d+e+f+g>40 m; increase the
pipe size of b, c, d, e, f, g.
c When the piping size is increased (step b), the piping length has to be
counted as double (except for the main pipe and the pipes that are not
increased in pipe size).
The total piping length has to be within limitations (see table above).
Example: a+b×2+c×2+d×2+e×2+f×2+g×2+h+i+j+k+l+m+n+p≤300 m.
d The piping length difference between the nearest indoor unit (from first
branch) to the outdoor unit and the farthest indoor unit to the outdoor unit
is ≤40 m.
Example: The farthest indoor unit 8. The nearest indoor unit 1 → (a+b+c+d+e
+f+g+p)–(a+h)≤40 m.
