Pipe Connections—Refrigerant Piping for Separated Outdoor Units
Double and triple frame outdoor units should be installed with all components next to each other. In conditions when the double and triple
frame units need to be separated, see the rules demonstrated in the diagrams below.
Pipe connection between outdoor units—standard length.
Maximum pipe length
after the first branch
between the outdoor units
is ≤33 feet
To IDUs / HRUs
≤33 feet
Oil Trap installation between outdoor units when length is ≥6-5/8 feet.
• Oil could accumulate in an outdoor unit after operation has stopped if there is an elevation differential between the outdoor units, or if the
pipe distance between the outdoor units is >6-5/8 feet. Install an oil trap if any of these phenomena occur. Just one oil trap is necessary,
however, and only needs to be added to the vapor pipe line.
• If the pipe distance between the outdoor units is ≤6-5/8 feet, and if the main pipe is installed lower than the outdoor unit itself, an oil trap
does not have to be added.
• If the distance between the
outdoor units is >6-5/8 feet,
install an oil trap on the
vapor pipes.

Note:
Examples of improper
installation.
• If the main pipe is installed
higher than the outdoor unit,
oil can accumulate in the
outdoor unit when it is not
operating.
• If there is an elevation differential between the outdoor
unit pipes, oil can accumulate in the lower-positioned
outdoor unit until operation has stopped.
