5.3 Preparing refrigerant piping
5.3.1 Refrigerant piping requirements
INFORMATION
Also read the precautions and requirements in the
"General safety precautions" chapter.
When connecting multiple indoor units to the outdoor unit, mind the
following:
Refrigerant branch kit One or more refrigerant branch kits are
required. See "4.3.1 Possible options for the
outdoor unit" on page 8 .
Upward and
downward piping Perform upward and downward piping only
on the main piping line (L1).
Branch pipes ▪ Install the branch pipes horizontally (with a
maximum inclination of 15°) or vertically.
▪ Make the length of the branch pipes to the
indoor units as short as possible.
▪ Try to keep length of the branch pipes to
the indoor units equal.

(a) Depending on the applicable legislation and the unit's
maximum working pressure (see "PS High" on the unit
name plate), larger piping thickness might be required.
▪ Flare connections: Only use annealed material.
Refrigerant piping diameter
The refrigerant piping diameters must comply with the following:
