• When the pipe diameter (B) connected after 1st branching is larger than the main pipe diameter (A), Install the pipe with the pipe diameter (B)
after 1st branching that is the same as the main pipe diameter (A).
Ex) When connecting with 150% of the indoor unit to 8 HP.
1) Outside unit main pipe diameter: 22.2 (Gas pipe) / 9.52(Liquid pipe)
2) Pipe diameter after 1st branching by 150% indoor unit combination : 28.58 (Gas pipe) / 12.7 (Liquid pipe)
Therefore set the pipe diameter (B) after 1st branching to 22.2 (Gas pipe) / 9.52 (Liquid pipe) of main pipe diameter (A).
• When the pipe distance corresponding to the farthest indoor unit from the outside unit is 90m or above, you must change the main pipe diame-
ter according to the outside unit capacity in accordance with the following table. (This applies to both the liquid and gas pipes.)
