4.1.2 Additional installation site requirements
of the outdoor unit in cold climates
NOTICE
When operating the unit in a low outdoor ambient
temperature with high humidity conditions, make sure to
take precautions to keep the drain holes of the unit free by
using proper equipment.

4.2 Preparing refrigerant piping
4.2.1 Refrigerant piping requirements
NOTICE
Refrigerant R410A requires strict cautions for keeping the
system clean and dry. Foreign materials (including mineral
oils or moisture) should be prevented from getting mixed
into the system.
NOTICE
The piping and other pressure-containing parts shall be
suitable for refrigerant. Use phosphoric acid deoxidised
seamless copper for refrigerant.
▪ Foreign materials inside pipes (including oils for fabrication) must
be ≤30 mg/10 m.
▪ Temper grade: use piping with temper grade in function of the
pipe diameter as listed in table below.
Pipe Ø Temper grade of piping material
≤15.9 mm O (annealed)
≥19.1 mm 1/2H (half hard)
▪ All piping lengths and distances have been taken into
consideration (see About the piping length in the installer
reference guide).
▪ Only use phosphoric acid deoxidised seamless copper.
4.2.2 To select the piping size
Determine the proper size using the following tables and reference

D: Piping between refrigerant branch kits
Choose from the following table in accordance with the indoor unit
total capacity type, connected downstream. Do not let the
connection piping exceed the refrigerant piping size chosen by the
general system model name.

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 or Hydrobox).
