(a) Assume equivalent piping length of REFNET joint = 1.6 ft. (0.5 m) and REFNET header = 3.3 ft. (1 m) (for calculation purposes).
(b) When the equivalent pipe length between outdoor and indoor units is 295 ft. (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 it is possible to increase the size
of the main pipes.
Even as the length of the piping is less than 295 ft. (90 m), it is able to increase the diameter of piping to improve performance.

(a) It can be extended up to (361ft.) 110 m without an additional option kit by meeting the following conditions.
1.1 Increasing the size of liquid piping of main pipe only (see table Size up for equivalent length for outdoor-indoor units over 295ft. (90m).
1.2 Dedicated setting on outdoor unit is required.
If the outdoor location is higher than the indoor unit, see [2-49]= on page 39, and if the outdoor location is lower than the indoor unit, see
[2-35]= on page 38.
2.
In the case where the equivalent piping length from outdoor units to indoor units ≥295 ft. (90 m) and Height difference between outdoor unit
and indoor unit (H1): >295 ft. (90 m), make sure to double upsize the liquid pipe of the main pipe, referring to the table A below. And, make
sure to upsize the gas pipe of the main pipe, referring to the table Size up for equivalent length for outdoor-indoor units over 295 ft. (90 m)
(In this case, system additional refrigerant amount (R)* must not exceed the values provided in the table C below and Height difference
between outdoor unit and indoor unit (H1) must be less than 361 ft. (110 m). ).
* As for (R), see 14.2. Calculating the additional refrigerant charge on page 30.
