Tubing Size - Panasonic U-8ME2R8 Installation Instructions Manual

5: When the tubing length exceeds 40 m, increase a longer liquid and gas tubing by 1 rank.
Refer to the Technical Data for the details.
6: If the total distribution tubing length exceeds 500m, maximum allowable elevation difference (H2) between the indoor units is
calculated by the following formula. Make sure the indoor unit's actual elevation difference should fall within the figure calculated as
follows.
Unit of account (meter): 15 x (2 - total tubing length(m) ÷ 500)
7: If any of the tubing length exceeds 30m, increase the size of the liquid and gas tubes by 1 rank.

* If future extension is planned, select the tubing diameter based on the total horsepower after extension.
However, extension is not possible if the resulting tubing size is two ranks higher.
* The balance tube (outdoor unit tube) diameter is ø6.35.
* The refrigerant tubing should be used with R410A refrigerant.
* If the length of the longest tube (L1) exceeds 90 m (equivalent length), increase the main tubing (LM) size by 1 rank for the
gas and liquid tubes. Select from Table 3 and Table 8. Use field-supply reducers. If the tube diameter is more than ø41.28, use field-
supply reducer.
* If the longest main tubing length (LM) exceeds 50 m, increase the main tubing size at the portion before 50 m by 1 rank for the
gas tubes.
For the portion that exceeds 50 m, set based on the main tubing size (LA) listed in the table above.
■ Size of Tubing (LO, LP) Between Outdoor Units
Calculate the total relevant horsepower connected to the tube ends of outdoor units and select the size of tubing between outdoor
units based on the main tubing size (LA) listed in the table above.
