Example:
▪ Downstream capacity for E=capacity index of unit 1
▪ Downstream capacity for D=capacity index of unit 1+capacity
index of unit 2
E: Piping between refrigerant branch kit and
indoor unit
Pipe size for direct connection to indoor unit must be the same as
the connection size of the indoor unit (in case indoor unit is VRV DX
indoor).

▪ When the equivalent pipe length between outdoor and indoor
units is 90 m or more, the size of the main pipes (both gas side
and liquid side) must be increased. Depending on the length of the
piping, the capacity may drop, but even in such a case the size of
the main pipes has to be increased. More specifications can be
found in the technical engineering data book.

(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, the
equivalent piping length is allowed to be more than 90 m.
(b)
Pipe size-up is NOT allowed.
▪ The pipe thickness of the refrigerant piping shall comply with the
applicable legislation. The minimal pipe thickness for R410A
piping must be in accordance with the table below.

▪ In case the required pipe sizes (inch sizes) are not available, it is
also allowed to use other diameters (mm sizes), taken the
following into account:
▪ Select the pipe size nearest to the required size.
▪ Use the suitable adapters for the change-over from inch to mm
pipes (field supply).
▪ The additional refrigerant calculation has to be adjusted as
mentioned in
"6.7.3 To determine the additional refrigerant
amount" on page 24
.

To select refrigerant branch kits
Refrigerant refnets
For piping example, refer to
"5.3.2 To select the piping size" on
page 12
.
▪ When using refnet joints at the first branch counted from the
outdoor unit side, choose from the following table in accordance
with the capacity of the outdoor unit (example: refnet joint a).

▪ For refnet joints other than the first branch (example refnet joint b),
select the proper branch kit model based on the total capacity
index of all indoor units connected after the refrigerant branch.

▪ Concerning refnet headers, choose from the following table in
accordance with the total capacity of all the indoor units connected
below the refnet header.

If the pipe size above the refnet header is Ø34.9 or more,
KHRQ22M75H is required.
INFORMATION
Maximum 8 branches can be connected to a header.
▪ How to choose an outdoor multi connection piping kit. Choose
from the following table in accordance with the number of outdoor
units.

INFORMATION
Reducers or T-joints are field supplied.
NOTICE
Refrigerant branch kits can only be used with R410A.
