Selecting a Location for Installation of the Indoor Units

The maximum allowable length of refrigerant piping, and the maximum allowable height difference between the 
outdoor and indoor units, are listed below. (The shorter the refrigerant piping, the better the performance. 
Connect so that the piping is as short as possible. 

Shortest allowable length per room is 9.8ft.

)

If the outdoor unit is positioned higher than the indoor units.

If the outdoor unit is positioned lower than 
one or more of the indoor units.
